::raises hand:: Just a friendly reminder! Don't import your char to BG2 with those scimitars, because the game will think the only way to get them is to kill Drizzt. You don't want the game to think you did that, especially if you didn't.

I think if you have high enough charisma you can get round that though.

You can, but it's just not a situation I would want my character to be in. A CN rogue doesn't deserve the same wrath a LE fighter-mage does.
