How did my character get unkillable?

TheSwamper

OK. I've finished the game 3 times since EE came out and I just started my first only solo attempt. For this, I grabbed 3 2da files from another link in this forum that would disable the xp cap. (is there a way to check this, other than getting a character to >161k xp?).

Anyway, I start a new game, I do the little Candlekeep quests, and en route to the Friendly Arm inn, I'm jumped right outside the inn in a scripted ambush. My little level 1 character got beat down to one hit point, but subsequent hits did not kill him? The combat log was showing me taking between 1-4 damage, but I stayed at 1 hit point.

I won't enjoy the game if I'm in full-on god mode, so, any thoughts? I've never seen this before, but neither have I tested for it nor played a solo game before. Are you supposed to be unkillable before Friendly Inn? Did those alleged xp unlocking files somehow cause this?

I'm not completely sure how it works but I heard about a new feature that causes a character who has less than or equal 14 HP (max health) to fall unconscious instead of dying.

Can anyone confirm this?

But it's the protagonist..so the game should net you the nice hand-animation and force you to reload

I guess a screeny with the situation would be more helpful sounds a bit fishy to me...

[sidenote: odd feature...in case such stuff is gotten implemented]

I hope not, that just sounds *wrong*!

Update: After getting hit a dozen times, any of which should've killed me, I finally defeated my ambusher. I entered the Friendly Arms Inn, got a few quests, then went south. The ogre also could not kill me.
However, I was rushing my way to Nashkel, and in the zone just north of it I was hit and killed.
I don't know what to make of it. Unkillable for the first 30 minutes of gameplay? Unkillable until a certain zone is reached? Not sure.

Answer to thread title question:

Because you are awesome?

Sounds like the MINHP1.ITM added to you during the ambush cutscene (Gorion's fate) to ensure you didn't accidentally get killed was never removed.

It's probably equipped to your amulet slot. Not sure if you can remove it in game; you may need to edit a save in Shadow Keeper or Near Infinity or the like.

EDIT: Ah, didn't read that you had been killed. It may just be the "playability" feature discussed in the thread Shandyr linked, coupled with luck.

That is a simple process really. Enable cheats and type the following in the console (case sensitive. replace **** with numbers.):

CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP("****")
