Does IWD add in the penalty for using a ranged weapon in close combat the way BG2 does? I mean in BG2, your opponents get something like +4 to hit when you are using a ranged weapon in melee combat. I don't notice the same penalty in IWD, but then maybe I just take out the enemy before they get too many hits on me.
