Talk:List of Baldur's Gate characters

message: What would you guys classify as a "spoiler?"  I want to know this so that I can know what types of information to add to the page regarding the characters, without spoiling anything.  (And also what types of information to remove.)  Would one regard Imoen's "unveiling" as a Bhaalspawn to be a spoiler for example?  It's supposed to be a game secret, but it seems hinted at throughout and isn't too surprising.  Any guidelines? -- Solberg 14:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's any guidelines, I haven't been following any anyways. We could put a spoiler tag at the top, and a small disclaimer about spoilers? Poulsen 14:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I notice that this article claims that Coran's abilities with the Bow ar exceed what he would be capable of under the (A)D&D ruleset. This, as far as I can see, is not true. His Dexterity grants him +3 to Hit with Ranged Weapons, as an Elf he has +1 to Hit with Bows and with Weapon Mastery [i.e. three Proficiency Slots in Bow) he has another +3 to Hit and Damage. As a Level 5 Fighter he has THAC0 16, adding on the (+7) adjustments he has an effective THAC0 9, with a Long Bow this is further reduced to 8. This is exactly the case in the game when Coran is first encountered (given that he is a Level 5 Fighter at that point), so I see no reason to suggest that he breaks the rules of the game in this regard.
Where he does break the rules of (A)D&D, so does everybody else: for instance, the number of attacks with a Bow increases by Level and through Specialisation; this is the case for all Characters, but it is not strictly allowed by the (A)D&D ruleset (at least as far as I can see, Player's Option: Combat and tactics, might have allowed it), but it is a reasonable simplification or House Rule for the Baldur's Gate series. Also, Coran gains access to Weapon Mastery prematurely and easily, but again this is simplification for the game, as it does not use the Character Points mechanic. Coran's Dexterity is, admittedly, one point above what would initially be possible, but as in the game, there are ways and means of increasing Attribute Scores; it is not inconceivable that he could have increased it before encounterng the Player Character.

message: Two anons (likely the same user) have added a line to Anomen's section stating that his alignment can change twice, to go to Chaotic Evil, if he manages to kill Aerie. This isn't backed up by anything in the game code (Google for it and you'll find that the only source for this factoid is this article), so I'm going to remove it again. I've already warned one of the anons. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 21:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
