Give Coran a legal Dex Score?

[Jarin]

I always find it a bit odd when I see it is possible to give Kagain a legal Con Score of 19, but it is not possible (unless using shadowkeeper, Which is a bit to much hassle for me already) to give Coran a legal Dex score of 19. I would apreacite it if this component was added, even if it was just for completeness

 

Speaking of Attributes... I would like to see a more 3e/4e style attribute bonus in BG2. Since having 14 dex (which is reasonbly good) has no effect at all, while having a dex of 15 suddenly has... and a dex of 16 is a major improvement over dex 15. And having Dex 8 has no effect at all. I would like to see that the change is more gradual, like in the 3rd and 4rd edition of DnD.

Can't do much for the 3e/4e bonuses, but thanks for the Coran catch. I've never played with him, so I never noticed.

 

I don't know when Cam will be back, or who will update the BG2 Tweak Pack, but The Coran fix will be in the next version of BG1 Tweaks.

Well, we can. It would just be a rather radical moving-away-from-ad&d tweak. Dex bonuses are a 2da like many other bonuses.

I always looked at it that those NPC's with bonus stats simply came across one of the tomes that you'll eventually encounter for yourself

 

By the way, if you look at the code for the creatures that you're up against -- many of them have bonus weapon proficiencies beyond their class so that they are not too much of a wimp against you, etc.
