Odd as it sounds, my most brutal Backstab to date is from BG1, not BG2: A Fighter with 1

something) STR Dualed to Thief. She got a Critical Quadruple for 144 damage, and in the final battle too! Nice.

For THAC0, I think Archers regularly go down as far as -19, and I believe that's with normal arrows. My question is, if Bard the Bowman was able to kill a dragon with 1 arrow because his aim was so good, why can't my Archer do the same thing?

Stat-wise, I went straight for the Munchkin Award when I rolled my Half-Elven Cleric/Mage: 5/18/18/18/18/18. Now, after the Crom Faeyr, Hell and Lum the Mad, he's 25/20/21/20/23/21, and the Deck of Many things should also add a further point to either INT or WIS. Yeah, the Demogorgon's stats are better, but not by much.....
