Special Abilities

Was curious why when leveling up as a necromancer on Android version my character would gain Larloc's Minor Drain uses, but when leveling up as a necromancer on PC version my character would get Cure Minor Wounds?

Check your Reputation. If it's below a certain amount (8, I think,) you'll get "Evil" powers as your character progresses through the story. Above you get "Good" powers.

The "special abilties" are actually "Bhaal Powers". The Bhaal powers are given randomly from a pool. That pool is limited based on reputation. See here for a list of the abilities, grouped by alignment:

Edit: This table is for BG2 if you create a new character. So, the alignment stuff is NOT relevant. I just posted it because it shows all the abilities.

Actually, I don't think that table is correct.
As far as I experienced, the only random factor in the Bhaalspawn powers is when you get them while resting during a new chapter.
Aside from that random time factor, your current reputation determines which power will be granted: either the evil power (rep 8 or lower), or the good power (rep 9 or higher).

yep the Table of @rapsam2003 is Wrong.

Bhaalspawn Powers are determent by Reputation.

High Rep will give Minor Heal / Slow Poison and Draw Upon Holy Might.
Low Rep will give Minor Drain / Spook / Vampire Touch

rep around 10~ will give one or the other randomly.

the reputation is hereby counted at the very Moment of your Sleep Sequence so if you'd fancy you can get all 6 Spells..

on a personal Note the good ones are far more useful, expect DUHM it has oddly a quite substantial cast time as Bhaal skill while the Priest version is almost instant, but you still can use it to push Constitution above 20 before rest or map travel for free life regeneration.

Apologies. That's the table for BG2. I didn't clarify that.
