Yee Ha! Now I'm glad I was so pushy.

I thank you! Telchar thanks you! I'll bet Dundee Slaytern thanks you, too!

I couldn't test it myself, Aelia, because I don't have BG2 yet. I'm just a humble, though very meticulous (read: anal) BG1 player who's seeing just how much planning ahead he can cram into one party. And it's because I'm in BG1 that my Fighter->Cleric can use a Crossbow, Dundee: Until he begins to Dual to a Cleric, he can pick up any dang weapon he pleases. And BG1 doesn't care if he's using a Sling or a Crossbow--as long as it's a Missile-type weapon and the guy has 3 weapon stars in Missile, the THAC0 is the same. I'll bet it's different in BG2, though; you put points into Sling instead of Missile.

Thanks again, Aelia, and a tiny, squeaking 'thank you' from my little Druid, saved from the Recycle Bin. [img]smile.gif[/img]
