Make it so I can't speed, jaywalk, text at stoplights, wear my non-safety glasses at my lab desk, not wear my steel-toed safety shoes when I'm transporting 1 gallon of methanol 25 feet to the next lab, sit inside my vehicle while I'm gassing up and it's 30 below zero outside, not make a complete stop at a 4-way stop when there's nobody around, cross railroad tracks when the cross-bar is down and the lights are flashing for no apparent reason because there isn't a train anywhere near, etc..., etc..., etc...
Did you know that different bard songs are cummulative?
So if in IWD you have a Skald and a Bard you could have them sing skald song and ballad of the three heroes for a total of +3 attack and damage at level 1 .
In Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, the spells Regeneration and Wither are supposed to last 1 round per 2 levels. However, when cast by someone who's level 21 or higher, they last 1 round per level. So Regeneration will last 3 turns when cast by a level 30 cleric.
Today I've noticed Skull Trap actually provides a sound effect when it's floating (and it's a very sinister one). I was able to hear that when I casted Skull Trap on one of the waylaid areas in BG:EE which (due to a bug) doesn't have any music running in the background and then this trap wasn't triggered by enemies.
Not only is Tazok smarter than the average half-ogre, he can read and write!
I mean, maybe it's possible that someone else (like Venkt maybe) read and wrote these for Tazok. But Tazok is portrayed as more intelligent than most half-ogres, so maybe he really can read and write.
I mean, it's weird to picture a half-ogre sitting at a desk learning his penmanship, but there are ogre mages, so presumably there must be some sort of ogre educational resources available somewhere.
One of the clerics in the Unseeing Eye questline mentions that there were no signs of a new god appearing, which proved that the Unseeing Eye religion was in fact just a cult. Presumably priests have a means of finding out about godly changes and new arrivals, and other gods have a vested interest in helping the new god gain a following so that the new god would be their ally in the coming millennia. Likewise, a god probably has at least some power when it first comes into being, giving it the ability to reach out to some folks and maybe make a demonstration or two.
Death by lack of faith is a process that takes hundreds if not thousands of years. Even millennia after Amaunator supposedly ceased to exist and became Lathander, Agru Tindul in the Unseeing Eye questline could still call on Amaunator by name and invoke Amaunator's power to destroy the Rift Device, suggesting that even if a god gets flat out replaced by another god and loses its portfolio to the new one, it still continues to exist in a certain form with some limited powers long after the religion has essentially gone extinct.
Gods never truly die. They may stay dormant for millenia just to return. Except Mystra, of course. That's her special ability
A newly ascended God does have a lot of power and it would take centuries to die for lack of powers. Otherwise the ritual of ascension would be a death sentence.
-The SoD epilogue scene where Corwyn has you cornered in the sewers and then you jump is a clear reference to Harrison Ford's "The fugitive" . I'm old enough to remember it s2
Did you know that if your druid wears leather armor and casts Barkskin, their Armor Class will actually be worse than if they had just cast Barkskin without the leather armor?
This is because how the leather armor AC works is it gives you base AC 8, then adds penalties to AC against piercing and missile attacks. If you have base AC 6 instead because of Barkskin, you still have the penalties from the leather armor.
There was a sourcebook that came out a year or so after Baldur's Gate 2 called Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate 2. Most of it had nothing to do with the actual video game or it's locations. However, in it we learn that Volo really doesn't think much of Crimmor, the 'caravan centre' of Amn.

Glad to see you're still posting here @elminster. I thought my Charname bounty hunter killed you multiple times not long ago. How'd you survive when all you had on you was a lousy wooden stick?
The true elminster never capitalizes his name and instead sends out simulacrums and clones to handle day to day affairs. People are easily fooled by this. Even the writers at Wizards of the Coast have been fooled.

Wait, does that include that Terminsel guy? I thought he was your little brother or something...

You lived in a spherical room?
My basement is a rectangular prism of chaos.
Your living quarters are just 3 dimensional? How limited...
Actually they never mentioned their quarters moved through time... they mentioned just cubes and spheres not hyper-cubes and hyper-spheres.
They move through time by doing nothing like we all do.
You don't know that. Maybe the room only exists in only a singular moment. Entering and leaving the room entails time travel.

Enlist you in the military.

(Basically no one knows Charname has become a god, so no one worships him/her.)
(A few days later, Charname is a dead god, a husk on the Astral Plane.)

"I don't care."
When I got there, I neither became a god nor died.
i never became a god in any of my playthroughs.
