thats strange...i remember PPing the two swords off him, though i couldnt PP the armor. there are only 2 solutions i can think of, which are:
1. the latest patch has something to do with it, one way or another(dont remember if i had it installed)
2. you have to PP him while he's fighting the gnolls(IIRC, this is how i did it).
thats all i can think of...

I have never been able to pick pocket both swords from Drizzt. But I think I have PP'ed the +3 sword both with standard BG, TotSC and DSotSC.

I never tried PPing on Drizzt due to I always played with good partys and figured he was no harm. Is he really as hard to fight as I hear.

Drizzt is pretty unbeatable in a fair fight in BG1. Though there are of course ways of beating him by exploiting loop holes or bugs.

92 HP
0 THACO
-14 AC
10 ApR
30% Physical Resistance
98% Magic Resistance
12 000 XP

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Try to abuse those loop holes with the DSotSC MOD installed - I tried - and failed :D . I am very happy about it though, because I think the people behind DSotSC fixed the 'poor AI loop hole' in a very clever way, which is also exellent when it comes to a discussion about role playing and ethics.

I wish I had those stats on my player character, but on the other hand: The game would have been too boring then :(

PS: Try DSotSC NOW ;)

Is one way to beat him running around with boots of speed and firing arrows?

lol... those stats of his seem so low after i finished BG2..

I have beaten him, theres a big thread about it if you wana read about it

it beats me how one can steal someones weapon when he is fighting with it and without him noticing...

they're just THAT good! lol. ;)

Well - with the stats he got (se above), he simply needs to have WIS 3 and INT 3 - thats the reason, why he do not notice ;)

It is even funnier that eventhough you steal one of his scimitars, he keeps on fighting with two scimitars. Maybe he got a spare +3 scimitar, that crumples to dust if he is slain?
