And if so how?

Please please tell me.

Yep - it is possible, although it isn't really needed on your first time through - just if you're doing something silly like completing it with just one character in your party...

Anyway, if you want to give it a go download www.funkateers.co.uk/xpcap.zip (http://www.funkateers.co.uk/xpcap.zip) , unzip it into your main Baldur's diretory and run it...

Cheers

Thanx very much,

I have a sneaky feeling I may need it as I'm roaming around trying to find every squirrel on the map to kill.

I've at last managed to kill off Khalid without his bimbo leaving me and I've just discovered I soulda gone to the carnival earlier as I can now afford to off his wife too as I have Branwen in my party now.

Does Xan ever stop whining? I'm sick of him and he's gonna die horribly if he don't shut up - any suggestions as to the nastiest place to dump the weirdo?

It depends on if you want a replacement mage or not - I took him to the Gnoll Stronghold and swapped him for Dynaheir.

I've got rid of Khalid too now - took bloody ages though, he kept ending up unconcious instead of dying, even with no armour/weapon/shield. I find Jaheira really useful though - she's got all those Cure Light Wound spells memorised (6 - 5 plus one for some ring I found). Also, she's a dab shot with a sling - means I can have three ranged attack (one mage, Imoen with her bow and Jaheira with the sling) and 3 melee fighters.

Did someone say they're A.C. was -7 at the end of the game? 'cos mine's -4 now, and falling (a +5 modifier for Missile attacks, +2 against blunt attacks...um..still looking for something magic to up the A.C. for slashing attacks).

Should I have found more than one book under the ruins at Ulcaster? And did anyone notice how the monsters kept re-incarnating themselves every time the game got saved down in Ulcaster? Great way of picking up XP points quickly, especially as there's a Vampiric Wolf down there - 2000 points per kill. Just save, rest somewhere away from it and then go back and top it (and the other 20 or so wolves around it) again - loadsa XP http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif.

Ele <-looking at 3 assignments and then wistfully back at the CD drive with the BG CD in it...

My problem with Jaheira is that she is dual clss and so advances bloody slowly.

What you say about her is all true but I reckon Branwen as more potential (she's
p.s. AC -6 (with -7 modifer for missiles ,-6 already got my +1 war hammer http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/teeth.gif) as a true cleric. However I guess I'd better keep wifey until I get a another fighter who I'll specialise in missile wepons).

p.s. my ac is -6 already (with a -7 modifier for missile, -6 for piercing and -4 for slashing attacks). I'm just looking for a ring of absorption to buy with my 8000 gold now.

I've got both of them - gives me a total of about 14 CLW spells per day (with the two that my maing character's got).

I've just met Safana too..um...I'm sure that sort of thing should be illegal in a video game http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/wink.gif.

Heh...cool A.C. - I'm a little way behind you though - still on Chapter 3 - Going to the Bandit camp after I've nicked this treasure that Safana wants me to help her with http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif.
