    Updated it, should I change the wording any?


    Also we should transport all the material from the Luck thread to the wiki so people know what Luck does.

    Edit: Luck thread

    I will probably change one thing. One thing that isn't documented anywhere but I think is very important.

    The Bard Song effects.

    +1 Luck at 1, +2 Luck at 15, +3 Luck at 20

    This only applies to the EE's and only in 2.0 and later.

    Updated to include such information. Thank you.

    I'm taking the liberty of adding any relevant missing information posted in this thread and transcribing it to the PIH wiki as well, such as the EEs' kitless Bard Song effects.

    Going to finish up the Level 4 arcane spells section today.

    Typo on the Cyric page:

    He makes and appearances in Throne of Bhaal during 4th test of Pocket Plane where he questions the protagonist about whether they want to assume godhood and their plans about it. He then summons few assassins to "test" them before disappearing.
    This is a Wiki, just hit [Edit] and fix it :P

    So, uh, I went ahead and made an article for the novels. Since I haven't actually read them, don't plan on doing so and can't find a lot of info online, it would be nice if someone with more knowledge than I could chime in and fill the gaps >.>

    Also, I tried to create a template for section stubs, similar to the one found on the FR wiki, but I can't seem to make it work? If anyone with a better understanding of coding than me could fix that, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I've added a solid black border (I know I'm not creative) but it's not working (dunno why, can't think straight at 6am, but it's ignoring the css in there I guess).

    @CrevsDaak I'd rather have it look like the one for article stubs, for consistency's sake. Also, man, the kind of stuff I discover while researching, it's insane.

    Lots of class kit info added, looks much better now, will continue to expend it using the same format

    Ok. Solved.

    @CrevsDaak Thank you, I also figured out why it wasn't working: The capitalization is apparntly important :V

    Damn, there's definitely a lot going on here lately. It's great to see intensive collective work on improving Baldur's Gate Wiki.

    Okay? I think it's a public service if we erase all record.

    The novel was like a wet fart. Just play it off like it never happened...

    On the contrary, I suggest we let it be known just how laughably terrible these (air quotes) 'books' are, if only to dissuade any poor ignorant sap who might believe them to actually be good.

    You don't even need to make it biased. The abominations literally speak for themselves as to how utterly insane they are.

    Actually, people are quite interested in who appears in the books and how they die. If not just for the fun of it.

    Ps, I have too many social responsibilities at home to help out but i think you guys are doing us all a great service.

    Level 4 arcane spells are finished on PIH. I have a newfound fondness for Polymorph Self, a spell I've never used much at all before. Its actually really strong.

    Status effects(bg2) edited, anyone more familiar with editing tools feel free to format it like this for improved readability =)

    I am currently putting together a series of articles about the cinematic cutscenes. I found one that I don't remember seeing used anywhere in BG1:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW_PQLtNYbc

    It looks to be the basement of the Ducal Palace, but can anybody confirm it is actually played there?

    PS: Also, are the 3D cutscenes made with Bink video? And if so, does that also go for the additional ones from BG2:EE? Never mind, apparently they where created with a program named MVE.

    PPS: Which tavern does this cutscene belong to:

    @Buttercheese
    The 1st one is the Duchal Palace, and it is played in BG1:ToSC and BGEE (at least every version I have played). The second one is an unused movie for the Elfsong Tavern that has been restored by at least a few mods, including BG:EE Classic Movies.
