Just a couple of things that i can't quite put my finger on!

1) How do you dispel the effects of things like Stun, Confusion etc - normal Dispel magic does nothing - and such effects are mighty annoying when fighting Mind Flayers who seem to love to treat me as some sort of canned food.

2) I got the Golden Arms and Legs of this Lich chap that i biffed the poo out of a while back, but i can't for the life of me figure out what to use them for!

Cheers for any assistance given [img]smile.gif[/img]

IIRC, mind flyers' stun cant be dispelled. Correct me somebody if i am wrong, but myself I have never been able to dispell it. Better buff against stun beforehand.

Minor spoiler.

go to the Dock district, visit a house near Mae'Var's guildhall, go to the basement - and get the answer to your second question.

These are arcane versions of Stun and Confusion, they can't be dispelled with the use of Dispel Magic.

You never encounterd *<font color="#3D2F1B">Kangaxx</font>* before?
Go to Mae'Vars Guildhall in the Docks District, left of the Guildhall is a building; the door is locked and trapped.. feel free to enter when the traps and lock are disabled - go to the lower basement and... see whats there (it should look familiar though). </font>

Ooooh dear, i think i might of met Kangaxx before...but something happend with a save game that meant he was summoned from his grave but then never appeared - or this might be another Lich type person...i shall have to go back to Athalka once i'm out of the Underdark! i'm pootling around Ust Natha at the moment!

Mind Flayer's Stun can't be dispelled maybe, but I could swear I remember casting Free Action on a stunned person and having it work. If that doesn't work, have a Mage cast Invisibility on the stunned person so the Illithid doesn't eat his/her brain! :)

It doesn't make sense to me that a magical spell effect would be non-dispellable, so I think it's more likely that your characters attepting to Dispel are simply of a lower level than the Illithids & Umber Hulks. Read the descriptions of Dispel Magic and Remove Magic and you'll see what I mean: A low-level (let's say he's Level 13) Mage attempting to Dispel the Stun caused by a Level 17 Ulitharid would have only a 10% chance of success.

This can be quite a shock to players used to the BG1 system, where a single casting of Dispel Magic would automatically dispel everything. Wheeee! Everybody's an Inquisitor!
