    I give you - and Modjahed - credit for me starting up my BG-games once more! :)
    I've just started a solo F/M in BG1 and when I get to SoA/ToB I'll see if I'll use Ascension or not.
    Please, give us reports on how your game proceeds.

    Alex,

    Baldur's Gate has its own rule set which GENERALLY conforms to AD&D 2nd edition.

    Concerning weapon proficiencies in AD&D 2nd edition CORE rules (not combat and tactics, fighter hand book, etc.). Weapon specialization is OPTIONAL and available only to single-class fighters (page 52, Players Handbook). Weapon specialization costs a total of 2 slots for melee weapons and crossbows, and 3 slots for other bows. Furthermore, specialization is allowed only for a SINGLE weapon. In third edition, there are no slots, feats give basic proficiency and a weapon specialization feat is available only to the fighter class (not rangers, barbarians, paladins, etc.).

    I'm not referring to the Core rules, I'm referring to the proficiency/spec/mastery ect rules as specified in Combat&Tactics supplement. (What my old DND group used to use.)

    I probably should have mentioned that.
    Oops

    :p

    And I know the 3E rules, however this is not 3E so it doesn't matter. It would be nice if it were. :)
