Item stacks can be changed, and I think you can do it universally within the core rules. I'll have to have a look, as it saves topping up a quiver slot that's got fifty arrows in it already.

Lord Brass Has it right about the amazing levels in Icewind Dale...I am in Chapter two...Have done hardly any of the side quests as I am just getting a feel for the game and my party is in the level six range.

Happily, my good computer is working again, and I can now re-open BG1. UNhappily, I'm now playing a Paladin, who's being a good girl and obeying Gorion's instructions: Khalid and Jaheira. I would MUCH rather substitute in Kivan and Branwen (or possibly Yeslick), as they are better in all respects than the Friendly Arm couple. Sure, Kivan can't get 3 stars in a weapon--so what? His higher STR and DEX will grant him a better THAC0 than Khalid anyway. And let's see Khalid go Stealth. And Cleric spells are MUCH more useful than Druid spells. Who the hell needs Animal Summoning I when you can Animate Dead?

Each character's Most Powerful Vanquished after returning to Nashkel--
Sanctimonia (my Paladin): Neira or Mulahey, I forget which
Imoen: Nimbul
Khalid: Diseased Gibberling
Jaheira: Kobold
Minsc: none (we'd just picked him up on the way back)

Montaron and Xzar died in the Mines--of natural causes, I might add, if you can call it that. It's not my fault that they didn't have enough hitpoints to survive a Critical Hit from a Kobold.
