Hmmmm... memory is fuzzy on this one, but they definitely require more than just a +1 enchanted weapon.

I forget whether the minimum was +2 or +3, but +1 definitely cannot scratch them. If I am not mistaken, it should be +3.

Check this from the Monstrous Manual Dundee.

Combat: Rakshasas savor fresh human meat and use illusions to get it. They have a limited form of ESP which allows them to disguise themselves as someone the victim trusts; the rakshasa uses this illusion as a lure and strikes when the victim is most unprepared. The rakshasa must drop the illusion when it attacks. Normally rakshasas can have magical abilities, up to the following limits: four 1st level wizard spells, three 2nd level wizard spells, two 3rd level wizard spells, and three 1st level priest spells. These are cast at 7th level ability. Rakshasas are immune to all spells lower than 8th level. An attacker needs at least a +1 magical weapon to harm a rakshasa; any weapon below +3 inflicts only half damage. However, a hit by any blessed crossbow bolt kills a rakshasa instantly.

I'm not sure if BG II uses the same rulls/stats. for the Rakshsasas but it would be logical.

Nope -- Annatar is correct, a +1 weapon will do just fine.

That cannot be, unless the Tradesmeet Rakshasas are different from the others. I definitely remembered that +1 enchanted weapons bounced off them. I do not have my CD now, so somebody else will have to do the testing.

[Annatar]

Maybe the Trademeet Rakshasa's where greater Rakshasa's because they need a +2 magical enchanted weapon to be hit IIRC.

[add] Then again I can't remember seeying any ''Greater Rakshasa's in the game.

The Trademeet ones -- well, Druid Grove ones, to be precise -- are "named" enemies. Such enemies have a tendency of being more powerful than their "unnamed" comrades. Ihtafeer and his two friends are immune to normal and +1 weapons -- while "normal" Rakshasas are vulnerable to +1 weapons.

[add] The Monstrous Manual says that Rakshasa's will loose there illusion when they attack.. so the group aren't Rakshasa's if you look it in that way. A Doppelganger however can attack in the form they take (copies of your party members.)

hmmmm,,,,,,,,sorta interestin ain it?

I was thinking about that just a few minute's ago Alson, they are indeed ''Enemie's'', so okay we got out of it... They are immune to normal weapons and +1 weapons.. but the normal Rakshasas aren't immume to +1 weapons.

So at the end who was right?
