Sheena - The Half Dragon Tale
Sheena's story begins in Firkraag's lair at level 8-10 in a prison cell next to Garren's child. Sheena is a neutral good half red dragon multiclass Fighter / Wizard. Her half dragon form is hidden most of the time (cities, forests...) to balance the game. Sheena is limited to two handed swords, quarterstaffs, halberds and darts (an animation limitation). Sheena's strength and constitution can not be raised by any item (potions and spells do work). Sheena has extensive banters with all Bioware NPCs, numerous interjections and a friendship path available to both male and female PCs. Sheena's flirts are available to male PCs of good and neutral alignment. She has also a small romance path (TOB like), which triggers if other romances are not active, you are through with the friendship talks and your character is of neutral or good alignment. Sheena leaves for good if is kicked out from your party.
Race: Human/Dragon
STR: 16
DEX:12
CON: 16
INT: 15
WIS: 10
CHA: 15
- Infravision
- 50% fire resistance
- Half dragon form
- Half dragon breath ability useable once per day
- Slightly faster movement speed to speed up the half dragon animation
Half dragon form: + 4 STR, +2 CON, +4 AC (lizard scale bonus), 100% fire resistance, immune to paralysis as any large creature would and immune to mind spells (charm, confusion and stun). This is the standard half dragon template.
Languages: English, French, Spanish
What needs to be done:
- New better HD portrait
- Extended romance (Right now is romance only in SoA)
- Few more special items
- Czech translation
- Personal Q ?
Additional informations:
- The current version does not work well with vanilla BG or old versions of EE, you must use a game that has a current patches. I will try to fix this problem in the future releases of my mod.
Actual version - V2.5

P.S.
I really tried to contact Red Knight the original author, but all websites are dead and all profiles and emails are canceled.
I hope he will not mind that I took over his mod.

1) Are you going to complete the ToB portion of the mod?
2) What do you mean that the romance is going to start only if Mazzy is on the party? Is she going to romance mazzy?
1) Yes
2) Sheena is very indecisive in terms of building relationships. After a certain time (It emerges from a conversation) is necessary take Mazzy on the party. These two will have a little chat, and that allow continuation of romance. (Truth be told, I dont like it. This is one of the first things I want to change.)

I already contacted the best-known BG portraits artist, but if she refuses, this is the second best option.
(It is not yet completely finished, her cleavage still need some adjustments.)
Today should have been released date, but I spent too much time creating a new portrait.
I'm afraid I need one more day.
My first goal will be minor changes and improvements.
Next step will be content for ToB.
P.S.
Although is romance only in SoA it does not mean that is not finished.
You can enjoy full romance including "special" reward.

How were you able to find the originals of those pictures? I searched for them for hours...
Anyway, I owe you again.
Version V2.1 specially because of you.
Same here but i was looking them on my hard disc, since i have some aberration about pictrues that would make a good portrait for BG. For me it's interesing mod and i'm happy that you picked it. One hour less on portrait is one hour more on writing story
It's not compatible with BG2:EE:
- it doesn't use HANDLE_CHARSETS but have French and Spanish language files encode it ANSI - this means it will crush the game if you install those languages
- it doesn't use ADD_JOURNAL (although not even weidu supports patch 2.x journal yet but still)
- it overwrites mno1 animation instead of using EE new animation system and simply add new one (if it doesn't exist already) which means some creatures may use wrong animation (probably not on vanilla game but with mods for sure)
There may be more problems since this is a report based only on brief look.
I did not do a proper test for French and Spanish language. My bad.
Regarding the problem with animation, it was a problem even in vanila game.
And I admit that it could cause a conflict with some other mods.
I am already working to correct both problems.
Problem with journal is not a problem, because mod (at least not yet) does not contain any journal entries.
Thank you very much for the information!
All the mentioned problems have been fixed.
Mod is now 100% compatible with BG2EE.
Additionally, Sheena now has her own special armor.
Great thanks @swit and @LavaDelVortel
I fixed new bugs and a couple of old.
The greatest credit goes to @swit
That is to say that your version of the mod won't work with the vanilla game (for foreign languages at least).
If you want that your version is fully compatible with both BG2 and BG2EE, I guess you should use HANDLE_CHARSETS function and iconv directory.
With changes which I plan it will soon won't be possible.
(Perhaps it might be possible, but the technical side would be too complicated.)
Sheena is - a half dragon
Sheeeena is - a half dragon
Sheena is - a half dragon no-o-o-oow!
Maybe it's language barrier, but I have no idea what you guys are talking about
Ramones - Sheena is a Punk Rocker
(I'm not sure when was added half dragon model)
