    Undeads are meh. The only serious challenge is early chapter 5 (won't say further). And that can fairly easily be beaten anyway, even if you don't have a Turn Undead user. There are certain weapon(s) the game will toss in your way before these encounters. Use them.

    [​IMG] each round he 'rolls' to find a trap, I generally wait 5-10 seconds if I think there might be a trap, if he doesn't make the 2nd roll, he probably won't make the third either. Or there's no trap.
    If you move too fast over an area:outta:, you have a big chance you're crossing a trapped space before you even roll the first time. Then I'd say, slow down:hippy:.
    I can't think of any other reasons.

    I'd either change Klepto to a Tiefling or change him to a Rogue/Wizard. The reason for that is that Neither rogue nor fighter is the favoured class of Drow, so you could get big XP penalties.

    Otherwise, looks fine. I'd suggest changing your Paladin to a Fighter 4/Paladin, but thats up to you.

    i have tried detecting traps that i KNOW are there and still have no luck. i know they are there because they have triggered and i have reloaded for one reason or another. yet i can not detect the trap. also when i try to detect a trap that might be there and nothing happens and then i open the chest only to have a trap spring, it gets a little annoying.

    Maybe your thief has a script which overwrites the search commands you give him ?

    The easiest way would be to just console it in... you can dump the cost equivalent on the ground if you want to be terribly fair... or donate it somewhere. :D

    bag of holding was in a container in shaengarne bridge.
    mercenaries' sack is sold in kuldahar.

    the sack can't carry bastard swords for some reason, maybe the Improved Bastard Swords component causes this.

    missed it? just cheat it in (00hbgb01), you should have had it by now anyway.

    i seem to have lost nheero. the guy in the prison that turns into a histachii after you get him his brew. i met him in the breeding chamber like he said. he told me that the potion would only last for 4 hours and not to bother him until after that. well i rested for 8 hours (is there a way to rest for less?) and when i "woke up" he turned back into his human self and disappeared. he didn't walk off and disappear. he just went *POOF*. i went back to the prison where he was kept but of course he wasn't there. i need to get a brew for myself so i can get past seeth's eye. anyone know where he is?

    he told you to meet him in a library. depending on what you told him, he can be in one of two libraries.

    Heres a weird one, when my party got to the black raven monastery we had to go talk to the head lady. As my characters are going thru the doorway to the hall in front of her room, only the first character was able to enter. It was like the door had closed bu nothing showed on the screen.
    I used the one character to talk to her & complete that part of the mission but she could not get out of the hallway.
    The doorway was acting like a wall!!
    Finally just exported her, went to the character arbitration(sp?) screen & removed her from my party, saved & then imported her to the pary. Bingo! she was now on the right side if the doorway!! We than went done to the eight chambers. Just a really weird experience. Anybody else ever have this happen??

    Yes, it's a known bug (possibly fixed in the official patch). You should have just used the character teleport console command for an easy fix.

    i had a problem with thorasskus the final yaun-ti at the end of level 3. i would beat him up real good and he would cast sanctuary and run through the hole leading to the treasure room. but when i followed to the treasure room he was gone. i had to reload a couple of times with the same problem. i finally just ctrl+y killed him so i could get to the next level. sure do wish i could have gotten xp for him.

    Use Disintegrate, Finger of Death, or Chromatic Orb on him. Repeatedly if need be. They're the best to disable him quickly.

    a bit of patience, or reading a walkthrough, would have been better.
    If you don't succeed in killing him before he escapes, you're in for another exciting battle in the centre of the map. He's back, with reinforcements.

    there are numerous walkthroughs. i remember reading one where this isn't mentioned either. in normal mode i managed to kill him before he left, but finding out the other course of events in HoF, I wish I'd let him run!:(
