For that BfZ Black/White Lifegain deck: I'm used to cheap white/black weenie. I just get the feeling that that deck is so slow. That cat will hardly ever give you a win condition in that Black/White Deck. You would really need an instant or sorcery Card that was something like http://gatherer.wizard...

2E Character Generator and Dwarven Paladins

I remember an anecdote about a 2e character generator that was designed so that players could have illegal race/class combinations because one of the D&d heads had a rules illegal Dwarf Paladin.

Can anyone recall the reference?

Enhanced Edition broke a *bunch* of mods. Unfortunately, most of the BG community has long since moved on (sometimes to other projects, sometimes quite literally), so mod updates to the new version are few and far between. My suggestion: Buy BG1 and 2 from GOG, get the mods, and forget the Enhanced...

Some are yes. When you use BWS you choose whether to use Enhanced Edition or regular.. Fyi, there's 100x more mod content out there than Enhanced Edition.

If you're going to play Baldur's Gate, I suggest you use mods: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/56670-bi ... e-program/

Grab the download link. That's the best way to download and install mods.

I've gotten kicked out of more than one game because I played clerics who kept referring to themselves in-game as warriors. One time the GM gave the party fighter a +8 str item at level 4 because he didn't like that I was better at swordery than her. He specifically told me before the game that I s...

Artifacts are boring because their effects suck. The designers were too afraid to make powerful artifacts that adventurers would actually want to bother obtaining.

Nutcoin: A great Cryptocurrency

Dear all,

Take a look at Nutcoin!. There's been a lot of innovation after the release of Bitcoin. It's interesting to see this new cryptocurrency Nutcoin to come out. The idea of multiple competing cryptocurrencies in the future is very interesting.

Just as an added note. For Clerics, 4th level spells are kinda weak, the best of them being neutralize poison, which in many cases can be taken care of by slow poison. I'd say generally that 5th level is a good stopping point. Beyond that It'd be 10th level because you get raise dead and plane shift...

Generally Speaking, Good bail-out levels in 2E are Level 2. Minimum Dual Classing level. With level 2, you get better hp and healing spells. For a Wizard this is a godsend. Level 3 is very good because you get find traps. With this spell, you literally laugh at the idea of putting points into find/r...

Obviously he has plead to Hasbro what he has to us that this edition will be bett...
