Copied from Somewhere...you probably don't even care, where, right?

Throne of Bhaal also introduces a new character kit into Baldur's Gate II. Last year's game let you choose from several subsets of each character class, except for the magic user whose specialty schools were already familiar to fans of the preceding game. To address this, Throne of Bhaal will let you create a character using the wild mage character kit, a chaotic variation on the magic user whose arcane powers are so intense that, at times, they're uncontrollable. Wild mages' spells can sometimes surge, causing unforeseen consequences. Wild mages who are especially skillful (and lucky!) can eventually learn to keep their untapped powers in check or, better yet, to channel their magical surges into concentrated attacks. Throne of Bhaal will also introduce at least one new nonplayer character that can join your party--he or she will presumably be a wild mage. Regardless, the wild mage will certainly be a useful ally in the new areas in Throne of Bhaal.
