What jarno said. A fighter->mage 7/1 is not a more powerful mage than a level 2 mage. In magical things, mind you. Which is what a familiar is about. It's even more evident if you switch it around, a mage->thief 3/25 shouldn't have their familiar be ultra powerful as the mage is still a clown at magic. EDIT: @kreso: IIRC a familiar could pretty much be all of the above. It's either a "natural" creature that gets imbued with a smattering of magical power when it becomes a familiar (a cat, for example). You could also gate a small create and bind it to you (imp) or have a semi-magical creature attach itself to your company (faerie dragon). In all cases the power of the familiar is basically linked to the magical prowess of the master.

I agree with mike.

Sure, I'll send you a PM. I can give you the links right away but you may want to wait 1-2 days for the new builds to be up. Yeah it seems like Demi forgot I'll send you a link.

Thank you Kalindor, that's very nice of you! Demi did respond to me in PM though, so I've got it down and installed! Trying for a semi-megamod (BGT) to see what explodes.

They should show up in the games feedback ones you go and enable that. So: Options -> Gameplay -> Feedback -> To hit rolls. As I said, I've no problem with the THAC0 changing, and that's what To hit rolls show I could of course have had another NPC hit charname instead to see if my AC had changed, but oh well. They do. Damage bonus you won't see unless you play old BG2 (Tobex has an option to see every bonus/malus on rolls ie. luck, berserk, proficiency, base roll, Bless, strenght, whatever - EE can apperantly only dream of that . Sigh. See screenshot here to see what I'm talking bout. ). AC bonus is implemented as "bonus vs weapon type" so it bypasses the hardcoded cap of -20 (+dex + single weapon style). You can see it in the character sheet as AC vs blunt, missile etc., similar to wearing a girlde of piercing/whatever. Ah cheers. I tried wailing on Imoen forever - like 20 hits while she was chugging potions - but couldn't discern if the average damage was at all higher. I should have tried with a less damaging weapon I suppose. And indeed, there the AC bonus shows up nicely. It's been too long since I played, I should know to look for AC there on any mod by Demi

[bG1:EE] Regarding Offensive and Defensive Stance: Anyway to confirm they give the bonus - dmg and AC respectively? I see the THAC0 malus, but I can't tell if I receive any dmg increase or AC bonus.

EE issue. I used EEKeeper to revert back when I was playing EE, but nowdays I delete this effect from fighters before I install KR, since it makes SCS install on top of KR faster, then cheat it back in when I start the game. Multis are prone to mishibaving (i.e. IR has an option to remove limitations from either Druid or Cleric or both - KR doesn't account for that). They should. A la Spell Immunity spell (pool vanishes if you do anything apart use click on one of two icons). Odd that it doesn't work for you, it works on my install, just tested on EE1. Try using "Autopause - spell cast". Good answers all, thank you. And indeed Called Shot is WAD, I was just too weirded out by the first issue to analyse it correctly. Well, I've done a run with BG1:EE and I'm not super-awed; time to go back to BGT I think.

[bG1:EE] I have a pretty awkward bug with Beta 20. Playing as a True Fighter, and when I reached level 5 all my previous proficiencies were removed. The 5th level "becomes proficient (+) in the use of all types of weapons" seemingly overwrote my 3+2 pips in Bastard Sword + Axe into 1 pip in everything. EDIT: Ok that's not the extent of the problem. It seems all F/X multi-classes also gets the benefit of a True Fighters level 5 multi-proficiency bonus. Both Jaheira (F/D) and Khalid (F/M) loses all pips on level 5 and gets one pip in all profs that their class allow. EDIT2: Yeah they also get the True Fighter innates, like stances and so forth. EDIT3: So, how is Called Shot supposed to work? I thought I'd get a sub-menu for Disarm or Trip, but I don't. Weidu-log - it's a bit sub optimal at the end as I decided to try out KR pretty late, and Thrown Hammers is just there to see if it even works with BG1EE (it does, even though there's some weirdness I believe is related to having IR installed before):

Like this? But it's not the same Anything that can be done to help you with the compatibility for EE, oh barbaric orc?

Demi, you old scoundrel. Shoot me a PM for the Beta-build will you?

This is indeed one of the absolutely most important mods for BG. I love kitting out my peons henchmen toons NPC:s.

Try and have that attitude at work when you are expected to deliver within a time frame and let's see what they tell you. But I guess not many would call their boss sucker when they ask why you missed deadlines. I of course don't have that attitude at work But I give modders a lot of leeway with their estimates. I'd rather have a happy modder that gives us a complete mod than a burned out bitter one that never finishes.

I <3 Demi. Also, ETA:s are for suckers. Demi should just have adopted the semi-official adage that Paradox development (Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron, Europe Universalis et al) have regarding patches: - in every "When does X come out?" thread ever

All improvements to Find Familiar is a good thing! I've been lurking this thread

I love facts. <3 ..and numbered lists

But the saving thow fix works well even if there is multiple message displayed in the box. Isn't it ? So maybe it's not a good idea to disable it. Any input on this? Kreso?

Thanks And sorry, I was more curious what the fix was supposed to do, and what the bug is.

Elaborate, you smug bastard!

Picture or it didn't happen

BG2-in-IWDEE, well won't that be the day

Seconded. This is really good work. While IE shows it's age clearly, IWDEE is indeed a success. I've played no more than an hour, but I loved it.With.. mods?

Don't beat yourself up Demi! You can only give so much as RL permits, the mod(s) will finish when they will

I'd just like to point out that SR isn't that drastic in it's approach. Even so, the "problem" is that the more you look under the hood of the vanilla spell system; you realize how horribly broken it is. That most players never really notice this is not an excuse to not fix it

I'm curious, how do you read from clab table? In subtledoctor Faerûn, clab table reads you! /OT

Sure I do. You just enter the coordinates and press a button.
