How Does SOD change Bg2:EE?

in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
Does it raise the level if you import a character after dragonspear? Are there any new characters added? What if I want to complete the games without playing through the SOD content will I be underleveled?

    Your character will start at whatever level you were in SoD, which is usually a level or two more than the cap in BGEE. Other than that, the only real change is a few items that can show up from SoD if you have them on your character.

    Don't worry about the items that import into BG2EE from SOD, they are a VERY short list you will out grow all those low end items very quickly in BG2EE. Honestly the only thing i really value from SOD is the 500,000 XP Cap limit import into BG2EE. At least hit that limit before you import. Farm away very early and you don't even have to play SOD much at all to hit the import XP Cap limit.

    Ive never been one for min maxing, I was just didnt know if playing dragonspear gave me an edge (Seems like it does) or if I had to play it or risk being underleveled

    You'll probably end up starting BG2 at level 11 instead of the usual 7 or 8. And you might end up importing a couple of OP items. Makes it a LOT easier if you're already an experienced player (level 11 is well into territory where you can take on Firkraag).

    None of the new characters carry over for now.

    Actually there are really good items in SOD.
    For example Robe of Sequencer, Crimson Dawn, Fireshield skimitar, Cloak of Blur and Boots of Immunity to Web.
    So, my hero will surely miss them.

    The Bard Hat also will not be obsolete. With the HLA bard song it would be a potent item.

    @Dee Who do we have to ask to get Robe of Sequencer and Crimson Dawn in BG2EE?

    They said they will patch BG2:EE to make it slightly harder.

    According to the devs, using the Legacy of Bhaal difficulty may compensate in BG2EE for your character being of a higher level and having extra items.
