    Heh heh, that's why I love ToB. My thief has Valygar's armor and katana, the Jansen spectroscopes, Cernd's cloak (you forgot the cloak and Staff of the High Forest, BTW), and will soon use the Carsomyr. Fun, cheap, and allowed!

    Keldorn's armor is great for monks, no AC penalty when they go below it's max, and permanent +1 saves and free action! The only problem is the weight.

    [Next time you leave such a blatant ToB spoiler in the SoA forum your post will be deleted. Read the forum descriptions. No ToB material can be discussed here.] -Tal

    I honestly don't understand the popularity of Boo. He makes for one less quick item slot, and all he does is squeek, which is funny exactly one time. They should let you eat him or something after his dialogue is exhausted.

    Oh no! I forgot about Cernd! My apologies to those Cernd fans out there. I assumed that since he starts off in jail, he'll be stripped of his equipment. Oops. :o

    Blog! Tsk, tsk, tsk. :toofar: ;) :p

    Chaos 'n' Entropy rank a close third/fourth to Cernd's staff and cloak. Just because all four are nice, not superpowered, and add a bit of flavor to their respective characters.

    Imoen's Belt is definitely the best. It makes her immune to death, maze, imprisonment, disintigrate, flesh to stone, and everything else that would effectively remove her from the game.

    If only the protagonist could get an item like that, huh?

    Yes, it would be cool to be able to kill Imoen, Nalia and Edwin and wrench the Belt, Ring and Amulet from their dead corpses!

    And boo is useful - he gives Minsc advice and thinks for him!

    Boo. In the fast-paced adventuring world, where nobody has time to stop, always doing quests and avenging someones death, its great to know that there is still a moron out there with a hamster.

    Minsc should be able to use Boo (kinda like a PC mage can use a familiar) instead of just having him in his backpack. Everyone who has ever CLUA-console'd Boo into his/her party knows how powerful that little rodent can be! :D

    I think the coolest and most unbalanced item in all BG2 is the Cloak of Reflection. Turns any fighter into a Mage and beholder killer with only walking around them. I cleared out Beholder's lair in the Underdark only by hanging around. It's very cool how they petrify and cause serious wounds on themselves. Also you can win the Mage Challenge in Ust Natha just standing where you are. Grtngs

    Well not after you apply the patch. Then it just blocks spells without deflecting them. No?

    Boo actually does 'do' something. He gives Minsc the ability to Enrage. Didn't you check Shadowkeeper?

    You know it might interesting if someone made a mod with a Minsc Quest where Boo actually became a Giant Space Hamster.

    Where does Imoen's belt go after you rescue her from Irenicus. She doesn't have it in my game. Did he pinch it or what?
