Someone said the the "Claw-ring" will carry over to BG2:EE. Is this true?
Are there any other items that does this? I know the Helmet of Balduran is in Irenicus dunguon, but that does not depend on your character import.

Let the reign of Paladins flow and be everlasting!
@Ken I'm sure it'll be just like exporting vanilla BG into vanilla BG2... ALL your items disappear.
I read somewhere, that specific gear like Baldurs Helmet/Cloak are additionally added in the dungeon, but can't confirm neither as am using "dungeon be gone". My test-import or better: imported BG2 game got nothing, only the Pantaloons where in the described place.
But as also mentioned I'm sick of the dungeon and use a mod to skip it and can't check some places, which are supposed to have some of the imported items. And the mod uses the loot, you usually only gain with a fresh character. Ah, that's the list I was looking for! Prolly the helm is better anyway, despite of the AC bonus you'll lose quite some hitpoints (~20) if given to a frontline character. Might sound not much, but can make a difference..as getting a decent AC is easier anyway, thanks to some items which stacks with magic armor. And saving throws are also not a problem...
edit: differs according the class though, and if you'd gain a benefit from having 18 or 16 con...etc
For the paladin posting:
- you need a mod, to gain the Strongholds from different classes (BG2-tweaks or similar)
- Paladins are by any meaning NOT inferior to fighter only cause the have fewer attacks, given that some kits are insanely strong in BG2, and in d&d 3 or 3.5 they get the same number of attacks anyway.
- too much block-text = too lazy
What you suggest can't be implemented anyway, and is partly done by getting slowly more and more abilities, specially in the newer rule-system.
One Word (or 3): EPIC DIVINE MIGHT ^^
They also have the most insane saving throws compared to any other class, no one else gets his stupid CHA bonus added for something that is way more than just OP, which also serves to kick undead, initiate more shields, add damage, avoid damage.....whatever else.
Not to mention to buff themself with a couple of priest stuff...and with a mere spell can change any weapon (usually swords) into a fiend-slaying-holy avenger!
Also something that was a bug or intended? When I imported my MAX hitpoint level 8 fighter to BG2 it seemed they gimped his hitpoints from around 120 to 100 or 90 something... never understood that... Or am I confusing that with creating a new character in BG2... hmmm so long since I played that....
chosenbygod You should not have read this it is not allowed to be read in American public schools as it is so hurtful, discriminatory and eurocentric. please chill out and read some fatalistic sufi poesy or something. Or go read the autobiography of that poor dead fellow shot down to one letter by 'Y'...
at any rate if you have such a whacky paladin hangup you can also play Neverwinter nights and do 3 levels as a a paladin and the rest as a fighter... you then can have some more fighter skillz but still claim to be the Count of the Brenton Marches...

Common the fight is now and marvellous.
The count Rollanz no way himself secures,
Strikes with his spear, long as the shaft endures,
By fifteen blows it is clean broken through
Then Durendal he bares, his sabre good
Spurs on his horse, is gone to strike Chemuble,
The helmet breaks, where bright carbuncles grew,
Slices the cap and shears the locks in two,
Slices also the eyes and the features,
The hauberk white, whose mail was close of woof,
Down to the groin cuts all his body through
To the saddle; with beaten gold 'twas tooled.
Upon the horse that sword a moment stood,
Then sliced its spine, no join there any knew,
Dead in the field among thick grass them threw.
After he said "Culvert, false step you moved,
From Mahumet your help will not come soon.
No victory for gluttons such as you."
CV
The count Rollanz, he canters through the field,
Holds Durendal, he well can thrust and wield,
Right great damage he's done the Sarrazines
You'd seen them, one on other, dead in heaps,
Through all that place their blood was flowing clear!
In blood his arms were and his hauberk steeped,
And bloodied o'er, shoulders and neck, his steed.
And Oliver goes on to strike with speed;
No blame that way deserve the dozen peers,
For all the Franks they strike and slay with heat,
Pagans are slain, some swoon there in their seats,
Says the Archbishop: "Good baronage indeed!"
"Monjoie" he cries, the call of Charles repeats.
AOI.
CVI
And Oliver has cantered through the crush;
Broken his spear, the truncheon still he thrusts;
Going to strike a pagan Malsarun;
Flowers and gold, are on the shield, he cuts,
Out of the head both the two eyes have burst,
And all the brains are fallen in the dust;
He flings him dead, sev'n hundred else amongst.
Then has he slain Turgin and Esturgus;
Right to the hilt, his spear in flinders flew.
Then says Rollant: "Companion, what do you?
In such a fight, there's little strength in wood,
Iron and steel should here their valour prove.
Where is your sword, that Halteclere I knew?
Golden its hilt, whereon a crystal grew."
Says Oliver: "I had not, if I drew,
Time left to strike enough good blows and true."
AOI.
And this is still in the wrong thread...
and the Plate Mail +3 (gold one) from Durlags does not import over to irenicus' dungeon...when you do bring it over and drop it on the floor you should notice it has no name or description and you can use +1 rings and what not with it.
Please let this dream come true in BG2EE
Oops! Perhaps I shouldn't have sold the Protector of the Second Leather Armour +2 - I suppose I could always buy it back later when I'm more flush with gold... I kept the Studded Leather +2 instead. It's a pity the +3 Studded Leather Shadow Armour doesn't carry over, mind
If you had all your gear from the end of BG1 then there would be 0 challenge in the second game. I was happy enough to get my Helm of balduran because there are never many good helmets in IE games.
If i had my stupifier my ring of holiness, my +2 cloak, and my ankheg plate; i would have absolutely no joy in finding loot till near the end of the game (with the exception of one +3 flail).
Else:
- Ring of holiness: early quest in BG2
- +2 Ring: can be pick-pocketed and is an additional reward early in chapter 2/3
- Ankheg Shell: can be found 5 minutes after entering Waukeens Promenade (edit: luckily, this or the imported plate doesn't follow the BGEE rule and is considered magical ^^)
You made it sound like those items are non-existent in BG2....
The Stupifier would maybe the only exception...but there are a lot of enemies, who are stun-immune anyway and the Flail of LoL is just better in any way.
(and yes the golden armor is a bit cheesy...but then again you lose some points of slashing/piercing/crushing defense compared to a full plate and only get more saving throws coupled with the ring/cloak/amulet, which is obsolete after some level)
