Are there any out there and what tools do I need to make one... I am dabbling with some stuff in BG2 at the moment but I would like to play with IWD2 so any tips / help would be appreciated.

Check weidu, I know that he has some.

Well, there aren't so many mods like in Baldur's Gate, but there we go, at least some:

- Easy to Use (easier inventory managment, some tweak stuff, but i do NOT recommend to install the "random item option," it nearly wasted my campaign)
- Cleric Remix (You can add some more pantheons for your cleric, so he gets the granted powers and domain spells for that)
- Bonus Merchants (You can trade with Ribald some well known items from the Bhaalspawn ;P )
- Improved Targos (you have to fight vs. Goblins AND Undead - harder, but more XP)
- Ammo Mod (infinite stacking etc)

Thats just a little overview.. for more information and download, check www.weidu.org and http://modlist.pocketplane.net/index...list&cat_id=53

Thanks guys :D

What about map creation tools and the like?

Cleric Remix was recently expanded to Divine Remix and is (and always has been) a mod for BG2, not IWD2.

There was a 'Cleric Domains' mod released a while ago which I believe is at Spellhold Studios.

For map creation, your best bets are IETME, Near Infinity and DLTCEP... but be warned, it is hard.
