Has anyone found an attribute increasing tomb like there were in BG I?

------------------

Tome you mean? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif The short answer is no, but there other ways to gain additional attributes.

Any way without cheating ?
Hello Board also !

I thought so, bummer. Thanks for the confirmation and spelling tip (oops) http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Hello, and welcome!
You *do* get an opportunity to raise some stats permanently in the game, but that's right at the end of SoA at Chap 7, just before the final battle with you-know-who-and-if-you-don't-I-shan't-post-a-spoiler-anyway.

Chapter 7!? Geez... Looks like I'll stick to my enhanced BG I character in BG II. Thanks for the info!

If you buy Throne of Bhaal there's a level in the Watcher's Keep (level 3 I think) where you can raise your traits permanently.

Thanks, Nifft, but can you install ToB when you begin BG II and go to the watchtower early in the game?

If you want to die you can.

I think it's fairly accepted that the tomes unbalanced BG1, most people rerolled stats until they had 18s in their primary stats then used the tomes (and I include myself in this) to make themselves 'slightly more heroic'.

What was worse was you could export the damn things out repeatedly and use them more than once-what a dull game- yawn. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

I actually prefer it the way it is in SoA-you can get temporary stat increases with items but not permanent ones. It seem s better somehow. (If not a touch frustrating having a paladin with 8 int)

Yes, but be warned there are some nasty battles in there esp toward the bottom

You could export the tombs? Wow, talk about simple...I never knew. Probably for the best like you say and it sounds like I should just stick to BG II at least in the beginning.

Thanks!

You can but probably shouldn't go too deep http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Level 1 is fun for a new, fresh party -- there's lots of stuff which will help you out A LOT early or late.

Level 2 might be doable early on, but will be tougher. Still the dungeon seems to adjust to your party's level so it wouldn't be impossible.

Level 3: no freekin' way. Wait until LATE in SoA or early in ToB.


One last note for Watcher's Keep: DON'T SLEEP THERE! There's an exit to the surface on every level. USE THEM! I had my whole party killed by two Devil Shades in a 'random encounter' there.
SoA is fun enough without "Power Gaming" and having all stats above 18 http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Agreed http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Thanks Nifft and Tuor for the 411! Now I have to go back to e-bay and get ToB so I can check out level 1! And don't worry, my fighter has nothing like all 18 stats! I like to have the best of advantages but I'm not interested in a hack and cheat game either.
