I've played through Eye of the Beholder once and I'm thinking about doing so again. But I've got a few concerns about some apparent bugs: one I may have noticed myself on my single last playthrough about seven years ago and another I read about on GameBanshee's EOB1 game guide.
When I was playing Eye of the Beholder myself, I was able to use the Dwarven Cleric to raise one of the piles of bones I discovered into an NPC. You're supposed to be able to do this with all dead NPCs in the game (and maybe any other dead characters). However, the cleric was only able to do this once in the entire game. All sources I've seen, including the official clue book, agree that he needs a recovery period after resurrecting someone before he can do any more healing. However, in my case, the cleric never recovered no matter how long I waited. I came back after Level 11, having done a thorough exploration and he still said he needed time to recover. This clearly seems to be a bug. Has anyone else encountered this? Was it because my party was already full, perhaps?
The apparent bug reported by GameBanshee can be seen here:

Look under entry 19.
The question is about the four missing rings dropped by the mantis warriors resulting from the Secret Quest. I've seen others say they got the rings, but I would like to know if anyone here has gotten them. (On my sole playthrough, I didn't have any kenku eggs left when I reached Level 10, so I had to skip this Secret Quest. That's why I'm particularly curious about it now.)
