    Does having your aura clensed (and there are several ways of doing this in the game - I'd love it if someone were to list all of them) - do anything in any dialogs? I know it doesn't effect the outcome of the game in any way, but do certain dialogs change?

    What about that one Paladin in the tavern near the Flaming Fist headquarters - (his name begins with a P - I don't remember exactly what it is though) - does he give different dialog options if you aura is clensed or not, or does it only change if you're actually evil and have a low reputation?

    I thought that aura cleansing simply eliminated the pause between casting. OTOH, you do get some odd aura cleansing moments, so perhaps there is some other effect. I've never noticed a difference in dialogues because of it.

    What I've come away with from another thread is that Aura Cleansing removes the wait for your next spell (Improved Alacrity's effect in BG2). But since in BG1 you'll only get it happening once at a time, rather than constantly, and out of combat at that, it doesn't mean a thing. I've never seen any variable checked or set that might have something to do with your aura, and though I haven't checked every dialogue, I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect any of them, partially by the pure randomness of when you'll get the Aura Cleansed message, if you do at all.
