KiNgBrAdLeY7: I started Baldur's Gate 1, for a fresh new playthrough. This time i create a party of 5 players of my own, and i will get Imoen too. A Human Fighter, Human Paladin, Human Druid, Dwarf Cleric and Elf Mage. So far so good with the Export-Import, Multiplayer and Firebead-Elvenhair tricks. But i found a bug with the Druid.

The Druid, when maxed at 10 level, when i press level up, he only gets 4 hitpoints. I created him with 18 constitution, begun the game with 10 hitpoints, with each and every level up he got (with save-load) 10 hitpoints. At level 9 he had 90. Now each and every time i press level up button, no matter what i do (import-export anew, save-load anew etc.), he only gets 94 hitpoints instead of the desired 100. This has to be a bug, because no matter how many times i keep retrying, he only gets 4 hitpoints.

Any thoughts, or even better, remedies...?

KiNgBrAdLeY7: Now, concerning constitution, i wasted nothing! My human druid's stats are:
16 str, 18 dex, 18 con, 3 int, 18 wis, 18 cha. I got a really lucky roll and totally dumped int, but near the end of game, i will multiplayer/export/import/clone the stat raising books (again) and max out all stats in all teammates anyway!

Heindrich88: I know it's a single player game and people shud play it however they enjoy it... but I really don't see the point of this. Why make yourself godly powerful and make the game stupidly easy? What's the fun if you know for certain you will win every battle before it has begun?

This exploit is essentially cheating, so why not just save yourself time and use Shadowkeeper to edit your stats?

KiNgBrAdLeY7: Getting 25 to all stats doesn't mean you are invincible. Even if you use strategy and tactics with the same fervor as if your stats were "normal"/mediocre. The numbers and toughness of enemies ambushing you, for example, while traveling, scales pretty well with your own, party levels. Even 3 characters full of 25 to all stats and high quality items, coupled with 3 normal party npcs, can fall easy prey to a right ambush, with half a screen full of wardogs and another half with gnolls and ogres. Plus, the instances are pretty hard; Ulgoth's and Ulcaster's are a pain in the back, from the moment you start them, to the moment you finish them. Especially in Ulcaster School, enemies spawn non-stop, in large numbers, continually, and the longer you tarry, the worse it is for you. I dread to even think not tackling them with whatever the game can give me, without cheating (no editors, no consoles). And about cheating, some players claim that even the existence of certain items is cheating, like the ring of gaxx in 2 or the robes of vecna, and avoid using even 1, "legal" copy of them, on the character of their choice. But this is no cheating, neither console, nor editors. Clean, legit, the hard way, as the game allows; export/import, and utilizing multiplayer save-games, or transferring a save from multi to single and vice versa, is something the game itself allows. And it is both cheesy and good; cheese is good for health anyway (in this case the health of your in-game characters).

Also about the druid, damn, i could use that 16con 18 str, instead of my 16str 18 con. But never mind. It won't take extremely long before finding those wonderful tomes again, regardless!
