Flaming fister- I read it. So? I seem to remember garrick using it and casting spells. If not. Who cares. Its just a game.

About Elven Chain: It may be possible that DSotSC turns Drizzt's mail into Elven Chain, enabling such things as Stealth and Wizard spellcasting while it is being worn. (I wouldn't know, I've never downloaded DSotSC.) It is also possible that not patching your game allows those skills to be used, but I doubt it, because I didn't patch my BG1 game for ages, and never noticed any spellcasting or Steath abilities.

But the fact remains that in official BG1/ToSC, Drizzt's Mail is NOT Elven Chain. Even if you Export your Fighter/Mage into BG2 and try to cast spells there, it still won't work. So, madjim, if you remember Garrick casting spells while wearing Drizzt's mail, you were either using DSotSC, or casting directly from a scroll (which can be done in any armor).

Originally posted by Vedran: powergaming... I see what you imply, but powergaming is sooo laaame nonetheless IMNSHO. random stats... Of course it is my opinion, but I am pretty sure that D*Ranged asked for our opinions [img]tongue.gif[/img] . reroll... Some people consider cheating even using debug console for debugging. Others think that there can be no cheating versus AI. Having 18/18/18/... In our world. However, IMO that Forgotten Realms world is very earth-like, even considering magic, pantheon and monsters from every single source. 18 strength implies: carrying 55 kg (110 pounds) and moving at the same speed as carrying nothing (some people could); lifting 127.5 kg (255 p) over one's head (some people could). 18/00 strength implies: carrying 167.5 kg (335 pounds) and moving as carrying nothing (a bit too much); lifting 240 kg (480 p) over one's head (I think that the world's record is around 200-230 kg. Do you know the exact record?). Inteligence of 18 enables the character to learn seven languages, apart from his native one. Other abilities have no such universal indicators. More than 18 in STR, WIS or CHA and 19 in CON, DEX or INT can be obtained, but only by extraordinary (magical) means. chop your post to pieces... I am not angry, you're a good fellow anyway.

18/00 strengh: Ogre strengh. So this means Ogres can carry 167.5kg without any struggle?
(Oh and weightlifters may have 18 strengh )

18 int. I heard 1 int was IQ 10. So a person with 18 int would have IQ 180.
As for Cha, u might need to improvise. Perhaps a CHA of 18 = An uber - BRILLIANT Orator+Leader+Celebrity+Handsome/pretty face+swinder...
