    I am looking for the unpatched version of the cleric Spell Animate Dead.

    The thing is, I've already patched my version of the game, and want to use the old spell.

    Anyone know where I can get it?

    If you know the file name, you could probably extract it from the CD into the override directory. That would replace the patched file and you could have super-strong undead back.

    Yeah...I could!! Pretty simple when you think about it.

    Thanks Shrikant! :D

    Edit: Uh...how do you extract the files? Does WinBIFF work for IWD2 same as BG2?

    Duh...I have WinRar...

    I'm asking because the spell files are stored in .bif files on the CDs aren't they?

    I just took the spell out of the override folder, and it restored the old version (festering drowned dead with their anti-save auras and all).
