Shorty Saves... Are they going to be in BG:EE?

Shorty Saves. They existed but were never talked about in the manual. Basically Gnomes, Halflings, Dwarves all got extra saves in relation to their CON stat.

Was this a mistake in the game?

Are all races going to get similar saves?

Are Shorty Saves being implimented in BG:EE?

Why does being short mean you get extra saves?

Shouldn't short people be saved from themselves and be given stilts?

Why no new shorty NPCs?

Will this thread provide the answers?

    @HaHaCharade As much as I appreciate the comment... I feel that you did not answer any of the questions put forth.

    Maybe the questions were above you? LOL!

    An orc walks into a bar.

    A gnome walks under it.

    THERE is your explanation.

    Shorty saves are still in and will possibly be mentioned in the manual and the in-game descriptions.

    In no particular order:

    Yes, no, yes, no, yes, I don't know and because.

    I'll let you figure out the rest. :)

    Glad to see some shorty love! Personally I believe DWARVES SHOULD RULE THE EARTH!

    And Gnomes at least the garden... maybe the shed too...

    Halflings were in that good film that won lots of Oscars...

    @Anduin

    You're comment made me laugh. Personally I love Elves, Humans and Dwarves. never got into gnomes, half-elves or half-orcs. Pretty neutral on Halflings, although occasionally I roll a halfling thief just because. I still wish halflings had gotten a thaco bonus for daggers or shortswords though.

    I love all the short npcs, but my mind was always too small to accept a short main character. Especially for the sex in the romances. I'm sorry, I know I'm disgusting.

    @Dragonspear To be honest, I always find it hard to play a Gnome... I just have an image of them fishing in my Gran's back garden with red cap, rosy cheeks, sitting on the mushroom... Not the heroic look.

    @ramagons Have you not heard of the exploits of the Dwarf Cassanunda? Made Cassanova look like a virgin!

    Cassanunda had the original beard tickler...

    I rated that as insightful for being informative, but you just ruined my appetite for dinner.

    Cassanunda was the only person on the whole of Faerun to consider step ladders as sex toys...
