jk

*there are only a limited number of bags of holding. If you cheat yourself the wrong one, and find the real copy of it later, you will find that instead of 2 bags of holding... you only have 2 gateways to the same infinite storage space. not sure if this is true for all containers

Oh I have another point to add to Tancred's rant

*Despite the fact Nalia's aunt is a psycho-hose-beast and no one likes her, if *you* kill her, don't expect any thanks (although if you're sneaky you can arange her death so you don't get the credit/blame)

OR you could just use the handy trick of 'disarming your party and beating her with your fists' for satisfaction. It doesn't kill her, just leaves her unconscious, alive, and no reputation lost. This doesn't work with Monks, for obvious reasons (you WILL kill them), and the victim will always remain hostile towards you, even after you leave the area and come back, which ruins certain quest related conversations.

happy punching

Boo is a sage, with a godly intelligence(He gets through to Minsc for god's sake), unfourtantely on minsc can understand him

Boo could very well be an avatar form of some god who doesn't want to make his presence known but still wants to indirectly help Minsc do right and end evil in the land... or maybe he's an incredibly powerful psionist that uses his powers to assume hamster form and minimize personal risk to himself and let's Minsc do all the dirty work... Then there's the possibility that Boo is a Druid who has a crush on Minsc, but knows Minsc isn't gay, so he turned himself into a hamster and hasn't changed back yet because it let's him be close to Minsc and he gets all the luvins he can handle being cuddled all day by the big lug... Then, there is the very minute possibility that *looks around and gets ready to run* MAYBE, just maybe... Minsc is F'D UP!!!

see but you have to take examples into account, a couple of times in the game(i forget where exactly) boo explains things to minsc that he obviously wasn't getting on his own. The only likely solution, Minsc was a very intelligent warrior who learned minature Giant space hamsterese to make contact with those on an equal intelligence level. unfourtanetly during a battle minsc suffered a bad head wound, while it affected his intelligence it didn't affect his memory so he can still speak to minature Giant space hamsters. Boo took pity on his friend and they have traveled together ever since

Just thought of something else that most newcomers should know...

In my opinion, the single most underrated item in the whole game is the scroll case. Invest in one as soon as you can.

I agree to an extent, but I'd change it to any portable container, but the #1 spot goes to bag of holding for its pure versatility.

On the subject of Boo...
*boo owns all in melee.
*Boo can be recruited into your party (via CLUA)
*I've never seen anyone even score a hit on Boo
*Boo will knock anything unconcious in 1 hit (it worked whenever I tried it)
*Boo says "squeak !"

Just because it has the word "protection" in it doesnt mean it will ever save your life from anything what so ever.
