If you present the equalizer, a diamond, and a scroll of protection from undead to Cespenar he will offer to create a new item. Not only will the Equalizer +5 do more damage to those who stray from neutral, but it will also do extra damage against "unnatural" enemies.
Sigh, now I wish that was real.
As a certain Star Trek character would say... "Make it so!"

Here you go!

  SAY 0x54 ~Such is the age of this sword that its true origin has been lost to time, but markings hint that it was possibly forged in the service of Helm. Also called the "Sword of Neutrality," it seems designed to seek and terminate extremes, to shift the universe closer to harmonious equilibrium. The further the behavior of a target from true balance, the more potent the damage they suffer. After being upgraded by Cespenar, your personal butler, once a servant of Bhaal, the power this weapon radiates is immense. Creatures unnatural to the Prime Material Plane will suffer further additional damage.

– Immunity to charm and confusion

I wondered briefly if somebody would post a mod for that exact purpose. But then I decided that it would be far too much for any forumite to bother.

But some folks around here are apparently wizards. With +50 to casting time.

ThacoBell · February 2017

How do I apply this? Also, awesome! Thanks for this!

CrevsDaak · February 2017

@ThacoBell copy the code on a plain text file, name it equalizer.tp2, get WeiDU.exe (http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,29577.0.html) and rename it setup-equalizer.exe, then drop both files (the .exe and the .tp2) on your game's directory (the one with the chitin.key and override folder), run the .exe and done.

ThacoBell · February 2017

Wait, am I renaming the WeiDU.exe? Or am I running it to convert the file? @CrevsDaak

*edit* this like confuses me

ThacoBell · February 2017

Okay, I think I got it, thanks!

There is another hidden joinable NPC in BG2EE. It's a squirrel you can find in the Windspear Hills area. He's a bit tough to find, but once you do if you bring him the Dryad acorns he'll agree to join your group.

Or you can kill it to get a Ring of the Princes +1

I thought it was a Ring of Luck, or was that just BG1?

mlnevese · February 2017

It's actually a ring of lucky princes +1.... I won't spoil how it helps you though

WarChiefZeke · February 2017

Gnomes are a multifaceted, well thought out PC race.

Buttercheese · February 2017

@WarChiefZeke
Yeah, but a lot of writers fail to capture that, same with paladins :V

PS: Wait, I thought this was a different thread ... god dammit.

Is he the one that was really a polymorphed biped?

The other moderators and I have decided to remove all instances of the acronym "atm" from the forums, on the grounds that it violates our rule against R-rated content.

We are also banning all other forms of free speech.

semiticgoddess · March 2017

In an unrelated story, @JuliusBorisov is under investigation for hacking Crooked @Buttercheese's emails in an attempt to interfere with the results of the "Who is your BG waifu/husbando?" poll.

Sad!

JuliusBorisov · March 2017

Another investigation?

Did you not learn from the last time?...

Buttercheese · March 2017

I still can't believe y'all decided to revive that old ass poll in the first place :V
So tinker with the results all you want >.>

mlnevese · March 2017

@Buttercheese Thread necromancy is a tradition in this forum.. Learn to unlive with it..

Using a Fire Stone on your Fairy Dragon familiar will let it evolve into a Charizard.

Its reported that gnomes designed the sewers of Baldur's Gate.

Coincidentally this explains why its exits and entrances are so confusing. After being poorly paid for their work the gnomes cast powerful illusionary magic throughout the sewers - resulting in most those few folk who use them to find their navigation to be confusing.

Players however should not despair, for there is a little known gnome merchant on the second floor of the Elfsong Tavern who will sell you something to negate these illusions - for a fair price of course.

WarChiefZeke · March 2017

Baldurs Gate: The Novel is actually the best version of Baldurs Gate out there, followed shortly after by Dark Alliance.

No pictures exist yet, but it is being set up as we speak in the land of Balnibarbi (out somewhere near Japan). They thought it would be a great project, and work is progressing Swiftly.

With a strength score of 26 you can actually remove those damned cursed items by right click them, choose "Remove by force", that's why it's capped at 25.
