@DreadKhan Tomahawk (toe-may-hawk) n. The terrifying and surprisingly nutritious result of Xzar's twisted experiments on tomatoes and hawks. Capable of hunting but not very durable. Also good for putting on pizza...if you can catch one. Not to be confused with the weapon commonly used for scalping, see standard dictionary for more information.

Hey @ZaramMaldovar ! I have made a model sheet of your character, it doesn't take much effort for him to possess the striking presence that you describe since he's a tall guy with green hair and colorful robe. This is a sketch but it's a base for action poses and other illustrations. Would you change something?
@DJKajuru Nothing I can think of, this is almost perfect. I did like the original more unkempt hair a bit better though, and see if you can keep in the amulet. I look forward to your work.

Certainly . Oh, I did forget the amulet, my mistake!
@DJKajuru Mistakes happen, I look forward to your work.
SOD ending logic: Charname is informed about Soultaker Dagger, but no further investigation is made into it and Charname never searches for it to free Skie....unless we assume that canonically the events of TOTSC take place after TOB.
Hello, my name is Ramazith. I live in a tower in Baldur's Gate and I'm quite well versed in the art of arcane magic. I possess a Tome of Clear Thought, which raise intelligence. However, instead of using it for myself, which would definitively help my decent but underwhelming intelligence score of 15, I keep it in my library for adventurers who would dare to attack me. Serves them right !

Same logic why gamers buy Collector's Editions and never unwrap them: to see the ever growing layers of house dust up close.
I have a fancy monopoly game that is just for the looks. I have played with it only on extremely rare occasions with a very select group of individuals. It is a wooden set with glass cover, silver and golden houses and hotels etcetera.
It has nothing to do with high intelligence and low wisdom though. I think it is all about bragging rights!
@Artona Perhaps, but that would be a ruse. There is always something in the taverns. It might be Volo, it might be a subquest, it might be an item, it might be a useless but hillarious npc, it might be someone is trying to kill you or it might be a misguided Paladin who swings his sword at anything he sees as evil without thinking about it first.
The only times death penalties are specifically mentioned are
1. Chapter 6- After the party is arrested for the murder of the Iron Throne leaders. Now, death penalties for murder are commonplace so it wouldn't really be that big of a deal. Also at this time we can safely assume that Scar is dead.
2. Chapter 7- If you are caught by Angelo's men they actually sentence you to die when they throw you in jail. By now, we know for sure that Scar is dead and the Flaming Fist is merely a puppet regime led by Sarevok.
3. Chapter 13 (SOD)- While a death penalty is not expressely stated, it is implied. At this point the Flaming Fist is securely back in rightful hands (not Scar because he's still dead) but you are again on trial for murder in which the death penalty is commonplace.
Conclusion: The Flaming Fist is a LN organization, you're going to sentenced to death anyway because in their eyes the law is the law is the law. Nothing inherently right or wrong about that, it's just the law plain and simple.
Mage logic: "Hmm, I think an enemy thief might be lurking nearby. Should I cast Stone Skin? Nah, let me just cast True Sight first to be sure, it only takes 8 seconds, what's the worst that coul-" *gets head caved in by Staff of the Ram*
@ZaramMaldovar - Angelo at least is nice enough to refrain from immediate execution. Another thing - why exactly are we being attacked by vampires in Brynnlaw? When they kill us, Irenicus or Bodhi can't get our soul. They don't even try to capture us. Irenicus wants us in Spellhold and should do everything to ensure our arrival, and that suggests than this attack was Bodhi's idea. But she knows what he wants, right? Is it some attempt to prove him her independence?
It's the classic power struggle between the practical NE patience that Irenicus has and the bloodthirsty (literally) and restless (again literally) CE behavior of Bodhi. While there are more obvious instances such as that, there are also subtle hints that Bodhi doesn't really care for the alliance and would drop Irenicus like a sack of potatoes as soon as she loses interest. Irenicus is the same, but he needs Bodhi for his revenge..for now. We see that Irenicus isn't broken over the loss of Bodhi because his emotions were broken long ago, ironically by Bodhi in events that set his exile into motion in the first place. If there is a shred of the old Jon inside there, he is glad that Bodhi is dead.

I once played with a monk named He Who Kicketh A** granted I only played through BG1 with him, but it was a fun play through.

High Intelligence (15 is actually high) and low wisdom my friend.
As most people with high intelligence and low wisdom would. Edwin would make the same mistake
It has nothing to do with high intelligence and low wisdom though. I think it is all about bragging rights!

EDIT: Under Scar's command, the only punishment FF knows is death. When Angelo rises in power, they actually put you in jail. Who is the bad guy here?
1. Chapter 6- After the party is arrested for the murder of the Iron Throne leaders. Now, death penalties for murder are commonplace so it wouldn't really be that big of a deal. Also at this time we can safely assume that Scar is dead.
