Importing from SoD and health is not the same

Soido

How can this be for such an old game ? Enhanced Edition ? And still import a character with random health instead of the health you have at the end of SOD

Are you talking about your Gorion's Ward or the NPC?
Your character should have same HP when imported from BGEE to BG2EE. Others NPC are not imported so their stats will be different.

Are you a mage or a bard with a familiar? You must cast again the spell in BG2EE to have a familiar again, with bonus HP.

Try exporting the character in SoD and then importing the saved character in SoA - I presume that you're currently importing the character from a saved game.

Answering both posts.

I am talking about main character import. It is just a thief.

I tried exporting the character but the result is the same. HP is random each time.

I think that the most likelihood reason this happens is that my character from BG1 was a "hardcore" character, meaning random HP dice on level up. That is why BG2 engine rolls dice again upon import, instead of simply importing the character as is already. Beamdog oversight.

And reason why many people have no clue that BG2EE randomizes your HP upon importing a character. Because they have played BG1on max HP on level up, and they never really observe the difference, as they also play on max HP on level up in BG2. Therefore BG2 agrees with BG1 on max HP.

This opens really a second discussion if I should play on "hardcore" character or instead play as most people actually play with max HP on level up ?
