@abacus If you fail the test he spawns an illithid for you to fight and you get a free pass if you beat it. Much less experience if you fail though...
@Sergio EEKeeper is still limited to one kit only, but with some tinkering, you can approximate the second kit by giving your PC the abilities of whichever one you don't use. @Tresset or @Troodon80 may know more about this and be able to help you.
That kit combo only works with a caveat. Kensai>kit works, but once you switch kits you will lose all your Kensai restrictions (because the Kensai kit gets switched to plain fighter). Other than that it should work relatively smoothly since you will keep your kensai bonus to hit and damage and AC as well as your kai abilities. You would just have to choose to not equip ranged weapons, armor, helmets, and bracers until you get UAI because the game won't stop you from doing so.
Also backstab should still work on most enemies in ToB. As a rule of thumb, backstab only does not work if the enemy either: a) has no 'back' to stab or has no weak points (like a beholder or a slime). b) was never living (like a golem). c) Can automatically see invisible creatures (like dragons, demons, liches, etc.) d) Is a main boss (Amelyssan, Demogorgon, Yaga-Shura, Sendai, etc.).
Notes: most undead can be backstabbed (including skeletons oddly enough). C and D can be kinda hit or miss. You can backstab Kuo-Toa and Irenicus for instance.
Also, I think everything in BG1 is vulnerable to backstab.
Is it a bad move to leave Imoen outside of the walls of Candlekeep during chapter one if you intend to pick her up later? (as in chapter... 6? The one where you return to Candlekeep.) My character "helped her over the walls" and when he returns to Candlekeep she'll rejoin him, but will she be there or do the changes made to the area during chapters erase her from the game?
May someone explain me what is this quick loot feature everyone talks about for the patch 1.3?
Its a bar that appears above the text window. Basically it shows any objects on the ground near your characters and you can click on it and your characters will go pick that item up. You can turn it off or on with a little red diamond that appears on the BG2EE GUI. This picture is showing the BG2EE GUI in BGEE, but you can get an idea of what it looks like.
Where can a get a second potion case in chapter 3?
Fairly certain the only place you can get one in SoA is Sister Garlena. The rest are found in ToB. Lazarus, Karthis al-Hezzar (North Forest merchant), and Chyill in the Temple of Waukeen in Amkethran.

Thanks, just curious… but too lazy to test it!
1. I BELIEVE you can dual class two kits if you use EEkeeper, but I've never tested it myself. I just think I've heard of someone else doing that.
2. I don't think all the enemies are in ToB, though I'm fairly certain there are a few.

No. Only humans can dual class.
The werewolves in the circus are the only ones that can't hurt you unless you attack them. The shadows in there will always hurt you.
