    Alright, here they come:

    - When I first played the game, I was an Half-Orc Barbarian and I had rage along with a couple of other spells in my specialbutton.
    I thought, this was because I am, well, a child of Bhaal. I also could heal adn I thought that too was a gift, because in the description of barbarians, there was only rage and no healing.
    But now I've finished the game and I started over, having an evil berserker, Half-Orc, and now I can't heal! Does it come with the Barbarian or something?

    - Why can the Monk only heal himself with lay on hands, while in BG 1, Ajantis, paladin, could heal everyone with it?

    - I now play for the Vampires and I just killed Aran Linvail for them, now there is a chest, if you enter the thief's complex, to your right, near the secret entrance to Aran's lair, which can't be opened, needs a key of some sort, because it is warded against simple spells... Where is the key?

    - Where can I find Belm (U know, that scimitar which grants you an extra attack)
    since I couldn't find it on my first time through...

    - Last one:
    When you come to work for Bodhi and you ask what the reward will be, she sais there will be some magical stuff. I killed Aran Linvail and I got that ring of protection +2 and his amulet, but I also get them when I work for them against Bodhi! I thought there would be other magical items, are there? I am about to go to Spellhold, but first I'm going to get some XP and do some quests I missed my first time. What I got, is that what she means? Or do I get something when I get to spellhold?

    I know it's a lot of questions, but hey, May the Force B with U! ;)

    Belm is in the druid grove map in the ogre tower. It is in the hay somewhere.

    ??May the force be with you??

    The spells you have as a godling depend on your reputation in BG1.Since you started as evil the AI assumes you keep a low rep. in BG1 and gives you those spells.You should have minor drain now instead of cure light wounds.

    The special abilities are based on your alignment, not reputation. Also the monks lay on of hands isn't lay on of hands, its a special self healing thing they get.

    Helps make them the cheesiest class.

    [​IMG] The special abilities can also vary within the same alignment.

    For example I made three Lawful Neutral characters to check it out and here is what they got:
    #1: 2x CLW, 2x Slow Poison, 1x Draw uHM, 1x Vamp Touch
    #2: 1x CLW, 1x Draw uHM, 2x Horror, 1x Larloch's MD, 1x Vamp Touch
    #3: 2x CLW, 2x Draw uHM, 2x Horror

    I agree--they are not soley based on alignment.. maybe random or reputation based? I had a neutral good character and had larloch's minor drain--something that the 'walkthroughs' said I shouldn't have for a neutral good character
