    Just went to roll a Dwarven Defender, DEX only goes to 16 and CHA to 15, tell me this is a bug! :(

    It's a bug.

    The 16 DEX worried me, as it means that the first 5% DR doesn't help at all (if you have 17 DEX). Anyway, thanks, @Jalily (as in Imoen - we know it's you)!

    My = key now zooms instead of selecting my whole part, plus often when I attempt to select things it instead just tells my characters to walk to it, any fixes for these problems yet?

    @Sylvus_Moonbow and @Jalily (Imoen) - Thanks for your work/help on this bug.

    I installed the fix and it had zero net effect. I shut down BG:EE, unzipped the .2DA file to Documents\Baldur's Gate Enhance\Override (just describing the tree, as I'm on a different machine and cant get the actual folder properties). On re-start, I was still limited to DEX maximum of 16.

    Wrong path!

    Override should be a subfolder of 00766 (full path for a standard BGEE install is C:\Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\00766)

    If it isn't there just create a new folder and name it "override".

    [BUG] Dwarves can only have a maximum Dex of 16 on character creation. This is an error brought about by the racial maximums imposed on stats.

    Dwarves have a maximum Dex on 17 on creation. In order to enforce this they were saddled with a -1 to their initial Dex score (the same as halfings have been penalised on their wisdom score). Somewhere along the way someone hasn't realised this and assumed that the -1 penalty to their Dex score is an innate penalty and treated their Dex score the same as their Cha score (racial max of 17, -1 due to being a dwarf).


    [Fix] Rollback the base stat change to dwarves and allow their to obtain their racial maximum of 17 Dex on creation.

    At present (contrary to the description) Dwarves receive a minus 2 to both charisma & dexterity. Thats -4 on abilities for a crappy +1 CON.

    As if the stated penalties werent bad enough to make you never want to play a dwarf....

    When will a fix be available for iPad? At least, I assume the provided fix only works for PC version?

    @Turcam

    Did you try dumping the hot fix files under Library/Portraits?

    I'm not sure it will work and I can't test it as I don't have an iPad, but it should be worth trying.

    More information on the Library/Portraits workaround for iPad here.
