I played Bg and killed ankhegs galore. I've never ran into them in BG 2 where are they? And if u think about it using unenchanted armour means you can use rings of protection. Theres a pretty nice necklace of protection you get somewhere along the line that gives you bonuses to your saiving throughs. I think....

[LS0158]

I think ankheg armor is treated as magical, in the sense that you cannot wear protection items. Or at least it was in BG.

A +2 sword with +1 cold damage WOULD be the strongest weapon in BG that I can think of. Or it's the +3 two handed sword of berzerk, although the berzerk may disqualify it...

In BGII, it would need to be at least +4 with lots and lots of extra bonuses... like the extra damage from Ryomaru's harmless staff in IWDII. It had a total of about a 83% chance of doing something special. the 3% extra is made of 1% chance of doing acid damage to user, 1% chance of poisoning the user, and 1% chance of casting "slay living" on the target. the 80% was various 10% chances to do various types of things. Poison target, do extra bludgeoning damage, slashing, peircing, target has hold person cast on them, etc.

It is in BGII, but you can't keep it unless you edit the game.
Its carried by Cattie Brie (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) who is in Drizzts party.

It counts as magical for some odd reason.

The armor made from them is good or some characters, but the dragon armor is much better

If you happen to have the Item Upgrade mod installed you can get your Ankheg Plate Mail upgraded into something that's about as good as the Red Dragon Plate; otherwise, I wouldn't mrss with it.

[karlosovic]

what class of armour does ankheg armour count as ? What kits can use it ? eg, thieves limited to leather amours, bards to chainmail etc. Isn't ankheg plate ? or can druids use it because it's not metal ?

[Vedran]

It's AC is the same as full pate has (AC1). But, weights only as a half of one.
It is made of ankheg's chitinous armor, which isn't metal, and thus druids can wear it (IIRC). Viconia (STR9) can also wear one. Rogues (thieves and bards) cannot use it.
