    While playing through BG1 for the second time, and this time including the TotSC, the dwarven fighter Kagain has a vital slayer position in my party consisting of him, my paladin and Imoen (more to come ;)). There is nothing bad about it, but I've noticed Kagain tends to regenerate hp as time goes. I can't remember my dwarf in my last round did that. Is this something added in the expansion?

    A creature don;t just regenerate, the only ways how this can happen is cause of a potion (temporary) or it's couse of an item you use. There are weapons that regenerate some HP when you hit a creature and there are also rings/helmets with such an option. I didn;t play TOSC so I don't know if tehre's an item with regeneration on it....

    He has no items, weapons or armor that would give him this ability.

    Constitution can also cause natural regeneration. I don't know the details and I don't know if it was implemented in the original BG. My dwarf in BG2 with a constituton of 21 (he's a barbarian) regenerates over time and more so if he boosts his constitution with a rage. I have got several extra patches running though so I don't know if this is an added feature.

    Indeed, it seems logical to me that with a high constitution you regenerate HP. What is his constitution?

    Indeed.. I haven't seen it for I never had a higher constitution then 19 but I think you will automatically regenarate with this constitution, with that unnatural high constitution, wounds will heal very quick......

    i am confused about this though because they did not include any mention of this in any walkthrough or manual.

    I was very confused too. I queried it in my thread about an all non-magic user party http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/001920.html
    Someone there explained that you regenerate above 19. I have also never seen anything about it in any of the manuals for BG. However, the PT manual or character creation screen (can't remember which) mentions you regenerate faster with a higher constitution.

    Anyway, whatever it says or not, my Dwarf definately regenerates himself and he does so more quickly if I cast any spell on him that boosts his consitution. It comes in very handy I can tell you with no magic users in the party :) so I'm not complaining.

    [​IMG] Yes, it's the high CON that does it. There should even be a little green icon showing it IIRC.

    If you take a look at my NPCs listing for Kagain, you'll note that he has Regeneration noted as a specialty...

    Yep, Kagain has a CON of 20 thus giving him a special power: regeneration

    I have now enlightened you and i now take leave.

    [​IMG] I have a ranger with constitution 19 and he regenerates 1HP per minute due to his high constitution. This is on the dvd version but it shouldn't make a difference. It is completely normal
