A few reasons to try Cleric/Ranger *THAC0 and number of attacks per round as Fighter *Can use Stealth: strike first; explore without being detected *Can cast good buffing and healing spells, and can cast Animate Dead, while wearing armor! *In BG2: can cast Iron Skins (Level 5 spell): immune to melee weapons! *In BG2: can cast Righteous Magic (Level 5 spell): all hits are at max. damage, and other bonuses *In BG2: can cast Creeping Doom (Level 7 spell): interrupts spell casters and affects several opponents *Takes a lot of experience points (xp's) to level-up but is very rewarding
Party remarks Good/Neutral-alignments only: *Khalid: Khalid: an excellent fighter; Jaheira's partner *Jaheira: Jaheira: can cast buffing, healing and damage-dealing spells; a good fighter; Khalid's partner; continuity to BG2 *Rasaad: Rasaad: try a new character; has stealth to do sneak attacks; stunning blows for 1 round 1-2x/day *Imoen: Imoen: can become a very good mage; can dual class to mage at thief level 3; de-trapper, buyer; continuity to BG2 *Neera: Neera: try a new character; try a Wild Mage; more Fireballs! *Part-time: Alora (Baldur's Alora (Baldur's Gate west) for pick pocketing only, as an option SUMMARY: SUMMARY: the party will succeed; however, Minsc/Coran instead of Rasaad/Neera would be a stronger and probably more fun party (See also my Baldur's Gate Walkthrough for BG1 at Scribd.com Scribd.com with with Minsc, Coran, Imoen, Jaheira & Khalid)
Other party's played Current play through BGEE party (and my original Baldur's Gate party): Cleric/Ranger, Khalid, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen and Coran Notes: I have reverted back to my original BG1 party! Very strong for BGEE! Similar walkthrough as below. Coran can be r eached fairly quickly by following this walkthrough, or my other BG1 walk; he'll be Fighter 3/Thief 3, 8126 xp Fighter/mage party for BGEE, previous play through: Fighter/Mage, Khalid, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen and Branwen -> Yeslick Notes: Very strong party! Fighter/Mage walkthrough is very similar as below (same as Cleric/Ranger). Yeslick was reached early with the protagonist having only 21k xp; Yeslick had 27380 xp F ighter 4/Cleric 5
Main Character & game set-up *Install Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition; install BG2 Tweakpack via instructions here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/6950/player-how-to-getting-mods-to-work-on-bgee/p1 *Two conveniences only were installed: installed: "maximum hp for all creatures in the game" and "max hp on level-up" *Play "middle" difficulty; difficulty; however, move slider to "hard" after reaching Level 6 for protagonist *Selected Half-Elf, Half-Elf, Cleric/Ranger, Cleric/Ranger, rolled 95 points in total with 18/92 STR (have rolled: 93 points with 18/00 STR, 96 w/ 18/90 and w/ 18/00!) *STR 18/92, DEX 18, CON CON 18, INT 18, WIS 18, CHA 5; War Hammer** Flail** (or Mace**) Mace**) Two-Weapon Style** *Current play through is with 18/66 STR and all is well! *STR 18/00 is not necessary since the STR stat can be raised by 1 point in Chapter 6; game is not tough, anyway *Select Flail** in anticipation of BG2; Cleric/Ranger gets Two-Weapon Style** for free! *Select Mace** only if you are going to use the over-powered Stupefier mace, which I do not on cur rent play through's *INT more than 5 is not necessary, but higher (10) is nice to have for surviving Mind Flayers in BG2 and for some Lore *This character becomes very strong; having two proficiency points (pips) only in a weapon skill is actually just fine! *Starts with THAC0 17 if STR 18/91-99, 1½ attacks/round, +2 to hit/+5 damage, 13 hp, 0 xp *Select spells to memorize: Remove Fear, Sanctuary and Cure Light Wounds *Select Racial Enemy: Ogre *Have started with 90-180 gold pieces (gp), 90 is enough
Style of play remarks *Focus mostly on getting the best weapons and equipment, and doing the main plot quests - there are a huge amount of xp's in the game! *Not completionist: not all maps explored, but nearly all side quests in BG city are done *Anti *Anti-che -cheese ese:: *No stea stealiling ng items items from from merchan merchants ts *Good or Neutral aligned companions only (no Happy Patch) *Current play through's: Do not dual wield weapons (use a weapon and shield) as this is BG1; do not use the Stupefier mace *Buff especially with Haste, or use an O il of Speed, and Draw Upon Holy Might for tough fights; cast Doom *Remember to use special abilities like Stealth / Hide in Shadows *[…] = could do this but don't
Thank-you Thank-you / credits developers: WELL DONE! That should do it for another decade or so! To the BGEE game developers: To: Dan Simpson! Simpson! I have referred to your fantastic FAQ for years! (see gamefaqs.com gamefaqs.com))
A few Baldur's Gate beginner tips Pause: Pause:
Use the pau pause se key (space (space bar) often often to plan plan each each battle battle;; plan plan each each part party y membe member's r's action action and their their target target Set Auto-pause for "enemy sighted" "trap found" "character injured" and "spell cast" Hit pause as soon as a party member isn't doing what you want or is in trouble
Combat Com bat::
Target Target enemy enemy spel spelll caster casters, s, espec especial ially ly thei theirr mages, mages, first; first; arrows arrows of fire fire or or acid acid can disr disrupt upt tthei heirr spell spell castin casting; g; likewise can Magic Magic Missiles and other spells and weapons weapons that deal elemental elemental damage Use Stealth or cast Invisibility or drink a Potion of Invisibility to see what may lie ahead, and then pause to plan the battle See page 22 for some Baldur's Gate buffing tips (Baldur's Gate buffs) Buff with the special ability "Draw Upon Holy Might" before going into battle Buff the party with Bless, Chant (Cleric spells) and Haste (Mage spell) or drink an Oil of Speed before going into battle Drink a Potion of Fire Giant Strength (or other potion of strength) to deal more damage Cast spells that summon creatures for tough battles, they will distract the enemy
Serious trouble: Gulp a Potion of Invisibility and the enemies will ignore you! Cast Sanctuary (Cleric spell) which buys you time to heal and buff yourself
Weapon details:Ranged weapons are extremely effective in BG1 (try Coran) Get the weapon called "War Hammer +2: Ashideena" very early in the game, from south of High Hedge (p. 22) Get the "Long Sword +2: Varscona" if you want the best long sword, from Nashkel Mines (p. 16)
Buff Buff vs mind mind effects:
Use Resis Resistt Fear/Re Fear/Remov move e Fear to to avoid avoid being being panick panicked ed in fear fear

Rest & save:
Rest as often as you you like to regain regain health health and and spells; spells; there there is is no penalty penalty at all Save the game (and keep the save) before travelling to a new area or starting a new dungeon Save the game before a battle and after a successful battle; same with talking to a new person/NPC
Buying Buying items: items:
Use the Mage spell spell Friends Friends to raise raise Charisma Charisma early early in in the game game Buy from merchants with the party member with the highest Charisma as the leader of the party Reputation 20 and Charisma 20 maximizes the discount for buying items

D1:7
*Oil of of Sp Speed *Wand of Magic Missiles (EE only; do not use!)
Plan for Imoen: dual class to Mage at Thief level 3. Use Short Bow as Thief, Sling as Mage. Use her to de-trap; therefore focus on getting to the Nashkel mines in order to de-trap before she reaches level 3 (and becomes nerfed upon dual classing meaning her Thieving skills can't be used until her Mage level becomes one higher than her Thief level). Also, use Imoen to buy items as party leader and cast the mage spell Friends to raise Charisma (CHA) Set Imoen's script to "Ranged." Drop the Wand of Magic Missiles, which was added in EE 1.2!

You can still get the quest items (spider body, wine and boots) in Beregost south house and then return to Friendly Arm when Imoen can cast Friends before speaking to him, which nets 6x Antidotes; finalize the quest thereafter.] [Imoen can pick pocket Landrin but it is not necessary] Talk to Nobleman for Golden Pantaloons (bring in inventory to end game battle to import into BG2)

Near Inn:
Talk to Rasaad yn Basir, Rasaad joins! joins! Monk level 1, 51 xp, 8 hp, Katana*, Scimitar/Wakizashi/Ninjato*, Scimitar/Wakizashi/Ninjato*, THAC0 20/20 (1) STR 16, DEX 16, AC5. Boots are worth 125 gp only Plan for Rasaad: sling, scimitar and eventually fists; use Stunning Blow special ability for toughest fights. Can find him here if you dismiss him from party Rasaad's first banter is after 24 hours (game-time); he does not have to be in the party continuously Set Rasaad's and Neera's script to "Ranged"
Party notes: Usually I'd get Minsc to Minsc to join here, but it's nice to try the new NPC's although Minsc, or Coran, Coran, would make for a stronger and probably a more fun party. Rasaad/Neera instead of my usual Minsc/Coran is definitely a more challenging party. A decent idea is to switch Rasaad out for Coran; if so, save much fighting until you get Coran so he gets the xp's. Can eventually ask Rasaad to join again later in order to try his quest. And if you dual class Imoen as recommended then you don't really need Neera either; if so then get Minsc, but then my party is identical to BG1 original play through but would be incredibly strong.
Rest if needed, then Imoen talk to Minsc O ut utside:

Buffing tips when fighting melee at this early stage:
Khalid: Khalid: Fighter level 3 with Long Sword +2 and Shield +1: Remove Fear (raises moral, no panic; 1 hour unless negated) Shield Amulet (+2 AC vs missile attacks for 5 turns) Oil of Speed (+1 attack & double movement speed for 5 turns) Protection from Evil (evil creatures get -2 attack penalty; saves made are +2 bonus for 1 turn = 10 rounds) Aid (+1 attack rolls and saves, +1d8 hp's for 1 round + 1 round/level) Chant (+1 attack & damage rolls and saves; -1 to enemies' rolls for 10 rounds) Bless (+1 attack rolls for 6 rounds)

Additionally: Cleric/Ranger can cast Draw Upon Holy Might (STR, DEX and CON improved for 1 turn = 10 rounds); therefore with above buff's can achieve TH 17/11/16 (3½) AC-4 38 hp Useful potions (were not used in Chapters 1-6 in this walkthrough): Potions of Strength will improve THAC0 and damage Potion of Heroism will improve improve THAC0 and hit points Potion of Mind Mind Focusing will give give boost DEX to improve AC Potion of Invulnerability will help AC and saving throws Potion of Defense will help AC only, unlike Invulnerability Eventually will be able to buff w ith: Imoen/Neera cast Strength, e.g. Khalid's STR is set to 18 for 1 turn/level and his THAC0 improves by 1, e.g. to TH 15/10 (2½) Defensive Harmony (lowers AC by 2 for 6 rounds) Jaheira cast Barkskin (+1 saves, except vs spells, for 4 rounds + 1 round/level) Overpowered, do not use: Imoen/Neera cast Improved Invisibility (lowers AC and helps THAC0 for melee fighting)

You can also deposit all Wardstones you've collected so far into a container as they are no longer needed (exception: later you will get the Teleportation Wardstone and Level 2 Exit Wardstone, keep these ones!)

Caverns/Trials: The four caverns or trials could be buggy in BG. It is recommended to start with the lower trial first (the Phoenix Guards) and work your way up, ending in the Ice room The bug I experienced (BG only) sent only two characters to the Chess Board; bug likely due to difficultly in knowing if the Phoenix Guards were indeed killed entirely, but could also be that I missed an Invisible Stalker
Cavern 1 (south): Fire: use Arrows of Ice to fight Phoenix Guards Cavern 2: Air: use physical damage; 1x Air Aspect 4k xp, 3x Invisible Stalkers 3x 3k xp
