    I already tried asking this in another topic that mentioned these fixes, but since the bug-fix web page has it own topic now...

    Does anyone have any idea if these fixes will cause any ill effects when ToB is released and installed on top of them. I'd hate to loose my save games because ToB didn't like, for instance, the fact that some changes were done to how darts are handled in the game.

    They go into the "Override" folder, so there's no reason you couldn't just delete them if you're worried.

    The site is actually loaded with different fixes. Some are a little overkill, like making the Sword of Roses a 2d4+3 which is how it's described, from the 1d8+3 which it really acts like, to ones that are much more critical.
    A Jaheria romance fix for example.
    Playing a thief with boots of speed, I can sometimes sneak up on someone to backstab them, and pop out of the shadows and stand there for up to 2 rounds.. 12 seconds, before actually striking, losing the surprise and getting attacked FIRST. That sucked. But there's a fix for that too.
    Check it out.

    I've just started a new game using all of them. Strange thiings so far:

    - My barbarian heals a lot when he rests
    - I 'mislaid' a rod of resurection
    - the powerful rod in the unseeing eye quest consumed me when I picked up the second half in the beholder's pit

    The thing is, I can't blame any of these on the patches for certainty becuase:

    - The barbarian healing might just be part o the kit I hadn't noticed or due to something like the helm of Bladuran (I haven't checked things out as it's useful to be healed)
    - I might have lost the rod while shuffling an overloaded inventory screen on the move.
    - I might have doubled clicked on the rod when I picked it up by mistake thus triggering it more than once (which you are warned about)

    So in conclusion, I take the view that patches are normally a good thing (although the second patch for Hidden and Dangerous was awfull) and I haven't experienced anything partticularly bad or good so far.

    Another 'not very helpful really' post compliments of Slappy.
