My favorite character was an Inquisitor…I had just gotten ToB and wanted ot play through the entire series, no reloads…focusing primarily on role play …what would a Paladin do here? Why would we suddenly decide to buff just before entering this particular building? Why would I stand around saying nothing while Imoen steels everyone in Beregost blind?

It was not easy and thanks to my no reload policy I ended BG1 with a strange group of friends,(Imoen, Quayle, Garrick, Branwen, and Kivan). I made it through SoA without loosing to many friends and I actually played ToB blind…was more than a little disappointed in ToB in that it was so linear.

Half-Orcs get a -1 to INT and CHA, with a 16 INT maximum. Dwarves get a -1 to CHA, but their maximum DEX is still 17 (THEY GET NO NEGATIVE ROLL ON DEX!!!).


BTW, the most fun I've ever had was a no-reloads game with a Gnome Cleric/Illusionist. I started in BG1, and I got pretty deep into ToB before I had to reload.

hmmm... how do you know this? Not doubting your info but I'd like to know how you got it. Is it from some game guide?

The dwarf info is from the Players Handbook. Just subtract as much from DEX as possible... you still can't go below 3.

The halforc info is from all of the guides on the game (you couldn't play a halforc in the core 2e game).
