the dream in spellhold...anyway out?

Remove all ads!

Now,this sucks...In your dream in Spellhold you find yourself in Candlekeep, the sweet voice of Imoen calling you..But there is a demon that doesn't let you pass unless you sacrifice one of your statistics forever.Is there any other way to gain access to the library without weakening yourself or a way to regain your lost points later(like the tomes in BG1).If there is any, how much points can you add to your character?Thanks for your replies...
BTW,I find Bhaal in the dream really unsatisfactory.His size is just like a mere mortal,his voice like my uncle not a god and he looks suspiciously like Sarevok.

 

Dont worry about the stat loss. i just made my ranger lose 1 point of intelligence, OH MY! no big deal.

 

But my priest of Helm is from BG1 and he will carry on to Neverwinter so even a single point makes a difference for me.(though having an Int of 15 or 14 doesn't make sense for a cleric but I hate it).Is there any way to gain points later.If there isn't I would have to say that this is a serious design flaw that really pisses me off...

 

At the very end of the game you will gain some stat points. 1 or 2 points in most of your stats I believe, dont remember exactly how much in which stat though.

 

if you thought that dream was bad, wait till ya have the other one.

 

SPOILER

At the end of the game, you will get some REALLY nice bonuses, like 20% magic resistance, cannot be harmed by weapons of +1 or less, +2 to all saving throws, and more.

 

If you really don't want to loose a stat, cheat on the console, you can access the tomes from BG1, just replace the stat! (book
03-05, the wisdom and charisma books can't be used for some reason). Another way, do a
solo multiplayer game, right before you talk to the demon, export out, then reimport after. The downside, is that your reputation goes back to what you get in the beginning, as if it were a new character. Not bad for an evil character who's rep. has gotten to high!

 

I chose dexterity, because I'm wearing the Gauntlets of Dexterity anyhow. Not too much difference between 11 and 12 either. I could (should) have chosen intelligence, but I just hate single digit ability scores .

 

sorry i gotta have a soapbox moment here....it doesn't suck that you have to choose a stat to drain. i like that part of the game. heck it makes sense you're losing your soul!!! it makes you decide what is important to YOU and your character. this is a roleplaying game so roleplay. pick the stat you can most afford to lose (for me: int if your not a mage or dex if you're not getting the ac bonuses). and creating tomes or expotring and importing are really low, why not just give yourself 25 for all stats?

deviant: i don't think those bonuses aren't permenent. if you start a new game with the char1 file created when you win the bonuses are gone.

 

Actually, I think they are permanent because my paladin I imported over has a Charisma of 19, thanks to that tome I read in BG.

 

I think the reason that the wisdom and charisma books don't work is because you used them in BG 1 and imported a character. That seems like the most reasonable answer to me, because according to pen and paper rules, each person can only have each type of tomefunction only once.

 

Beorn he means the bonuses from the end of BG2 aren't there when you import the character to the start of the game from the end of the game.
And the tomes in BG can give multipul; bonuses if you get more than one copy of them.

 

You can create and use multiple copies of a tome, as many as you want. Now, there's nothing wrong with fooling around with the cheats, if you've played without them first.I had a normal character a couple times, now I have a superhuman one. There are many ways to play this game, all are valid, if you have fun. Doomlord, you'll be able to replace your abilities without cheats, anyway. NWN is a 3rd Ed. game, in 3E
you get an ability raise every 4 levels. If there's a BG3, it'll be 3E, too. Wizards of the Coast no longer supports 2nd Edition.(No, my superhuman character does not have all 25's but it does have a 25 dex! she's a monk, and her AC is obscene I also boosted Nalia's dex, and she's a master thief! Like I said, play without cheats first).

 

And in 3rd Ed 25 for a stat is low, it goes all the way up to 45 now . Roll on BG3 !

 

Yeah, Dragons are awesome in 3E! The real deal!

 

Has anyone noticed that the voice of Bhaal in your dream is Worf from Star trek!

Also The voice of Irenicus is someone else famous.

 

who is the voice of jon? hmmm....hmmm................hmmmm.............................................................hmm......i have no idea. enlighten me, if you will?

 

got it!

He played chancellor Garon in star trek the undiscovered country.

 

I think he's David Warner.
