In ToSC, the battle just gets cheesier--each of the Final 4 enemies has a Web & Stinking Cloud ability: The first time each of those 4 can see one of your party members, Web & Cloud will be fired at the spot where your character is standing. Yeah, like Tazok can cast 3rd-level Wizard spells, riiiiight.
This is off-topic, but I wanted to congratulate you on the wonderful BG I website you've put together, Six. It's comprehensive, helpful and easy to navigate. I know a fair bit about the game but your site has still come in very useful for me. I have bookmarked it and will be checking back for further reference in future. Well done!

(humble bow)

Why, thank you kindly, Arledrian. The site originally started as a Word document I put together as a helpful Guide to my friend Andrew, who lent me his BG2 discs to play (obtensibly, to make sure they worked OK), and to whom I lent my BG1 discs to get hooked on the game, before I gave him his BG2 CDs back.

One crashed hard drive later, the Guide was reincarnated on the Web, so everybody could benefit. If anyone's curious, I wrote it from the point of view of the newbie just starting out in BG1, but it contains every bit of information you'll need to put together a really good character and smack the game around some, all the way through Throne of Bhaal--without giving any spoilers. I don't even reveal things like "Who you can have in your party in the first 30 seconds of Baldur's Gate II." So feel free to visit & see what's in store in future games, if you want: You won't read anything you'll wish you hadn't.

I should add that the site's not quite done yet: I still have to fill in the URLs for some of the Links in Appendix 2, and eventually I'll be adding a complete list of all the spells, with descriptions, even noting which spells are for Clerics and which are for Druids.

Well, as long as there's more inforation that's not covered in the manuals (the books for BG1 & ToSC don't tell you about the spells you can get in BG2), there'll be more for me to add. That way, people will be able to see for themselves why they shouldn't be a Transmuter, instead of asking "What class should I be?" every 30 seconds.
