Hey, just wanted to announce that I'm going to be ready for playtesters very soon for the BG2 portion of the mod, so if anyone is interested in helping out, just let me know what your username is at Spellhold Studios so I can contact you. Or you can sign up there instead: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/56301-playtesters-wanted/.
Isra is a cavalier paladin of Sune, and a knight with the Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose. You may have originally run into her along the Sword Coast, but you can find her again in the Den of the Seven Vales in Waukeen's Promenade, where she's looking into some family concerns.
She has several quests in Athkatla, and if you like intrigue involving the Amnish merchant nobility, her storyline will probably appeal to you. She also has both friendship and romance content (for both male and female PCs), though her romance is a little bit on the slow burn side. Don't expect declarations of everlasting love, demands for marriage, or anything along those lines. Isra may be romantic, but she's also painfully aware of how difficult it is to balance romance and the paladin lifestyle.
For those who aren't already familiar with her, Isra's somewhat removed from a stereotypical paladin. Anyone whose sympathies lie with the churches of revelry would have to be. For more information, you can visit her forum over at SHS.

Will the crossbanter feature between her and Valerie be updated? Cos it existed in the old game.

Any plans to carry her to BG2? Will her status be upgraded? Cos they're a bit low atm.
Stats... yep, CON is 17 for BG2. I'm probably leaving STR because the difference is kind of negligible until you hit 19, and there are about a million gauntlets and belts to put it in the 20s anyway. I'm not a fan of 18s or really high stat totals, but if anything seems like it really needs to be higher, let me know.
If you think that her experiences in BG EE gave teach her more of the life, an upgrade on Wisdom would be nice also.
Those are both status that i think could benefit her in roleplay.
I can understand raising her STR to indicate the player perhaps used a Tome on her, particularly since it's very relevant to the gameplay.
Can't wait for my F/T PC to meet Isra! :-)
EDIT: Ooops, didn't see this thread is about Isra on BG2...
At the moment if i want to play mean, i have to agree to leave prism in peace... say to graywolf to left me out of his fight (cos all the other answers are goody two shoes ones) and kill prism after the fight instead of speaking with him (otherwise he thank me and i get 1 rep point).
An option to choose to take the bounty, fighting Isra, then later fighting greywolf to keep your bounty and then by killing/arrestomg prism to turn him, his body and the gems to Oblek for a greater reward would be nice.
Obs: to arrest maybe an unnarmed strike (from an no monk character) that put him uncounscious, just force talk after hit him to take the body (as was done with the soldier in the cloudpeak mountains that we carry to FAI, in the place we got the fire ring).
The new files are shell scripts to duplicate the functionality of the Windows .bat files on OSX. Also, there are OSX versions of weidu (from @Nifft - http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/272623/#Comment_272623) and oggdec.
I edited the "//End bat files" section to detect the platform (Windows/OSX) and call the correct commands at exit/uninstall (starting at line 143 of the .tp2 file).
Let me know if you have any questions, or if something doesn't work for you.
@AstroBryGuy - Well, I couldn't get the installation shell script to run, so I switched it over to a .command file and now it seems to be working. At least, I think it is. I've only got BGEE on PC, so I can't actually test install it. It's all working for BG2 on OSX, though.
Here's the command shell to make sure it's still installing properly. Everything else is pretty much what you sent me.
Did I do something wrong or is that supposed to happen?
I am doing the quest "Another Day in Athkatla" where Quentin Jysstev is locked up for smuggling. I have spoken to the Priest of Tyr in Government district, the smuggler in prison, the smugglers friend in the seas bounty, Qar Jysstev (got Quentin's log book), and brought the swill to the smuggler in jail. I can't find anything else to do or anyone else to talk to. How does the quest move forward?
Assuming nothing is broken, have you tried resting?
I used EEKeeper and it finished the quest (a bit anti-climatically in my opinion). Interested to see if there is more to this.
I only had her for a short time in my party in Chapter 2, and I let her go (I did romance, too short of a time). I was thinking about picking her back up now that I am in Chapter 6, but I can't find her anywhere. Is it possible to get he back into the party, and if so where would she be?
Thanks!
Did you try the Lathander temple in the temple district?
