2 Problems

[Morgeruat]

I'll copy them down tonight when I get off work if I remember, If I can't find them in the manual I'll copy them from some of the Forgotten Realms books that go up to 40th lvl (for exp tables and spell caster rates), do you need the caster tables as well? how many spells of each level etc.

[Dundee Slaytern]

Hmmmm... ...

Copying from a non-game related source will be futile, as BG2 uses a special Xp table for their Druids. Oh well... ...

From the manual... ...

Sweetness.

Dundee, I copied your tables down, thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is that the behavior of the Rogue & Cleric tables mean that with 8 million EXP, they'll be over Level 40. I think. That's what I've got them down at home doing, and I think they're following the same behavior that you listed.

Which means.....I turn to Grindar Silvermane to double-check the data!Many thanks, and my Inbox thanks you as well. It feels so loved.

Morgeurat, I've got all the Spell Progession tables for all the spellcasting classes in SoA, and that should be enough, but if you wanted to list the data relevant to ToB, that would be a really cool bonus.

The Guide is so close to being done: I just need to make the EXP page and the Thieving Skills page, and I'll upload the sucker. Probably tomorrow. Yeeha! One last question: Is there any real difference between Planetars/Dark Planetars and Devas/Fallen Devas?

Thanks again!

[Dundee Slaytern]

Clerics, Monks, Thieves and Bards will not exceed level 40. I forgot to list the Xp at the end-side.

Clerics/Monks

39: 6975000
40: 8000000

Thieves/Bards

39: 6380000
40: 8000000

As for the stats for Devas and Planetars. I only know a few things for sure.

Planetars use a +3 Vorpal Sword, just like the Githyanki's Silver Sword +3. Devas use a modified version of the Mace of Disruption, what is the level of enchantment, I am not sure.

Planetars have a vastly superior spell selection, with spells from all three types of magic. Clerical, Druidic and Mage. Devas only have spells from the Clerical and Druidic side if I recall correctly. As for the exact spell list, I am not sure.

Planetars are immuned to normal and +1 enchanted weapons. They might be immuned to +2 enchanted weapons, but this might not be true. Same goes for the Deva.

Signed, Sealed, and Delivered.

Volothamp's Comeuppance is now fully uploaded.

You're right, Dundee, it was the leap from Level 39 to 40 that threw me off. Without it, Clerics/Monks would reach Level 43, and Rogues would hit Level 46.

Upcoming Changes:
- Morgeruat, it turns out I don't need those ToB Spell Progression Tables after all--they were in the .ZIP file Grindar sent me. I'll add those to the existing table tonight.
- I mailed my BG1 & ToSC manuals to my friend Andrew to get him hooked. When he copies out the page with the full Thieving Skills & Emails it back to me, I'll make the Thieving Skills page on the website.
- I'll add links to GateKeeper and Shadowkeeper to Appendix 2, not to mention finding the URLs for everything.

Thanks a bunch--I think Appendix 3 will be my list of sources, including you guys. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm, I too have had items vanishing from stores. In my current game it was the Sword of the Roses. I looked and looked and it was nowhere to be found. Has anyone else had this problem? I just finished that game and so when i start my next game I will see if it is still missing.

[SixOfSpades]

The Blade of Roses can indeed be found in that specific store, but only AFTER you perform a certain quest will the nifty items in the inventory be open to you. The Adventurer's Mart is similar: You can't access their "Secret Stash" until Chapter 6.

The guide is good Six. Nice anecdotes, well-written. Some very funny suggestions (like the cows in the noble's house, I am going to try that one .... right... now!).

One suggestion, through some color in there. Maybe some screenshots, portraits, etc. You may well already be planning this. If not, I think it would spruce the guide up nicely.

[SixOfSpades]

Thanks, Drewal, I worked hard on it. I like the way it combines the dry, humorless information straight from the manuals with the experience from actually playing the game. ("And that's what Level Drain is. Ain't it a bitch?")

Once I tidy up the last loose ends (the blank Thieving table, the few missing URLs in the Appendix 2) I'll go around decorating the place with some more color. Of course, I want to add things like (non-spoiling) screenshots, but I have a very unique handicap: I wrote the Guide on a computer that is not capable of playing Baldur's Gate. All my good screenshots are stored on a hard drive that got short-circuited a month ago, and is now gathering dust until I can earn the money to either see if it can be fixed, or buy a new one. Until that happens, I can't get any pictures or screenshots. I'll look around on the Net and see if I can find some good ones, though.

[drewal]

I understand...I had to replace a hard drive a few months ago. I'll check out the guide periodcically.
