Just a couple of things that i can't quite put my finger on!

1) How do you dispel the effects of things like Stun, Confusion etc - normal Dispel magic does nothing - and such effects are mighty annoying when fighting Mind Flayers who seem to love to treat me as some sort of canned food.

2) I got the Golden Arms and Legs of this Lich chap that i biffed the poo out of a while back, but i can't for the life of me figure out what to use them for!

Cheers for any assistance given [img]smile.gif[/img]

IIRC, mind flyers' stun cant be dispelled. Correct me somebody if i am wrong, but myself I have never been able to dispell it. Better buff against stun beforehand.

Minor spoiler.

go to the Dock district, visit a house near Mae'Var's guildhall, go to the basement - and get the answer to your second question.

These are arcane versions of Stun and Confusion, they can't be dispelled with the use of Dispel Magic.

You never encounterd *Kangaxx* before?
Go to Mae'Vars Guildhall in the Docks District, left of the Guildhall is a building; the door is locked and trapped.. feel free to enter when the traps and lock are disabled - go to the lower basement and... see whats there (it should look familiar though).

Mind Flayer's Stun can't be dispelled maybe, but I could swear I remember casting Free Action on a stunned person and having it work. If that doesn't work, have a Mage cast Invisibility on the stunned person so the Illithid doesn't eat his/her brain!

It doesn't make sense to me that a magical spell effect would be non-dispellable, so I think it's more likely that your characters attepting to Dispel are simply of a lower level than the Illithids & Umber Hulks. Read the descriptions of Dispel Magic and Remove Magic and you'll see what I mean: A low-level (let's say he's Level 13) Mage attempting to Dispel the Stun caused by a Level 17 Ulitharid would have only a 10% chance of success.

This can be quite a shock to players used to the BG1 system, where a single casting of Dispel Magic would automatically dispel everything. Wheeee! Everybody's an Inquisitor!
