    It trades off the ability to use magical items for whirlwind attack at the 11th level, the rest of the damage, THAC0 and AC bonus are very similar to the current BG2 version except they progress more slowly in oriental adventures version

    BG2 Version for comparison...

    - Level 3: +1 to hit and damage rolls
