Utterly Wished For Items - Page 3

Not REALLY slow, Taran...that's the domain of the crossbow! Plus, magical weapons gain more than just damage and to hit bonuses...they also get lower speed ratings...so in original D&D, the things got more attacks per round...

IIRC, Ashideena (sp?) has a speed rating of 3, and that's pretty fast! Oh, and, I dunno if ya'll know what an Arquebus is, so...it's more or less the kind of guns that people had in the year 1500...a cross between cannon's and rifles...google it as "harquebus" for more info...They would have been a great addition to BG 1 or 2...And would have even made sense storyline wise, especially for paladins and clerics of that one temple of inventors...sorry, it slips the mind right now....

Gond.

That would make sense, since the followers of Gond are credited with bringing Smokepowder to the Realms... But that kind of weapon seems more than a bit out of place in a game like BG. I don't even use Smokepowder in my pnp campaigns, simply because I feel it sort of spoils the magic of having blades and bows.

In BG2, you need blunt weapons like warhammers to kill certain golems (like clay golems). Also, there are some nice warhammers in the game, like the one that you can get from Basillus as Ross pointed out.

I take it you don't like them jellies, eh, Madeline?

I'd love to have a Gem of True Roleplaying, myself. Methinks Furret sells a powergaming crystal.

There are several things I wish I could change about this game, but none are item-specific. I wish I could play BG in a higher screen resolution. I wish I could stack more than 20 arrows in one pile. And finally, I wish NPCs would walk more 'intelligently' - Shandalar's Island and the Firewine Ruins are just the pits in this respect.

Portable containers.

e.g. Potion bag.
