Well done Six, you found something of interest in my long winded ramblings. (That's the trouble with Bards, they want to tell everyone their story)

I already have the XP cap removed and I think DSOTSC has one too, but I've never taken a party to the really high levels. Nor have I spent enough time in the higher reaches of BG2 to compare Prismatic Spray with the alternatives. Let's just say it worked nicely for me and I was going to reload anyway. In fact I think it killed him twice over (indego and violet?).

Spoilers again

As for the Skeleton Warriors your point is well made. I was suprised how much damage got through their Magic Resistance, though I have observed this effect previously. I triggered the traps more in hope than expectation and was pleasently suprised at the outcome. I think the SWs took three double hits from each of the Lightning Traps and a double hit from the Fireball, out of which the Magic Resistance saved them about twice each (eg 25%) which is much lower than expected. Is trap magic any different to spell magic? I just don't know the answer to that. I don't think I saw any save v spells in the dialog window either. Figure it out if you can.
