how much is 'not too much rerolling?'

I can barely get a
16
18
14
12
12
9
etc.

in 20-30 rolls on the computer.

then again, I'm even worse in real life I will frequently roll characters with less than 9 in several categories ... it even happened once when I was cheating!

Maybe 40 or 50 rolls. I don't think I've ever rolled over 50 times.

it's definately not worth spending that much time over. But it only takes a couple of minutes to roll 50 times. Just save any that seem good. And recall it if you can't get anything better.

I'm quick at adding. So I add up all the stats after each roll. I don't adjust them after each roll- that would take too long. Actually half the time, I don't even add. If at first glance I don't see several high/mid teens I just reroll.

Why would INT be only 3? If you reroll enough times, it'll be higher

That's even worse then. Try a game where you take the first roll of the dice, and see how it goes.

I already know I can beat it with shitty stats. When dual classing I've had my character be pretty useless at times and still did ok with the rest of my party. I just kinda have fun sitting back and rerolling for a while to see what comes up.

There are 3 tomes of Wisdom in BGI?
I'm regretting using the few tomes I've found already

spoiler(highlight to read): (one in the cave below the Gnoll stronghold and one in the thieves guild in BG)

on my NPCs, because they won't have the improved stats when they reappear in BGII, whereas my character would have done.
This is true, isn't it?

3 Wisdom tomes:

spoiler(highlight to read): one in the main quest, in Baldur's Gate, when you give it to that water ***** during that quest to get the poison antedote...just kill her afterwards, there are no repercussions one is underneath Candlekeep...not to out of the way...you can get it when you escape after being in jail the final one is in one of the upper levels of Durlag's Tower, but it's incredibly easy to get

Yeah, the lower levels were far more of an annoyance to me than fun.

Hmmm. I'm still in BG so I'm not worrying about Durlag's Tower quite yet.

Can anyone confirm whether the NPC stats are imported to BGII or not? Should I concentrate on my PC, who won't necessarily benefit greatly from higher wisdom, or should I make sure that Branwen gets all of the wisdom tomes?

NPC stats are NOT imported.

put all the tomes in your main character.

Can't you only get a fighter when you roll all 7s? (As well as the jackpot on fruit machines ) The BG system of choosing the class and then rolling guarantees a minimum score in certain things.

Well I visited the Hall of Wonders last night and picked up an attractive telescope thingy. The guards turned up, I hid in shadows and legged it. Easy.

When I did that hall of wonders thing, I walked in either in the middle of night or day and just picked the thing up... nothing happened- no guards, etc.

I never have an all 7-roll. My rolls are usually the same more or less; I don't see the point in rolling 50 times anyway It's like the reloading-cheat when levelling up!

Having completed the quest for the boss of the thieves guild at the weekend, can anyone recommend some cool quests that really shouldn't be missed? I need to get Imoen up to a fairly decent level before I take on Scar's quests or she won't be any use as a wizard. All recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I could just go out and fight some monsters (in fact, I haven't been into the sewers yet, so I can fight in BG itself ), but would prefer to do quests that will get me the exp.
Tell me which quests to do, and from whom I can get them please. You don't have to say which building the NPCs are in, but the area of town would be useful.

I think you mentioned you did the telescope quest in the hall of wonders, right? That gives good experience.

The sewers kind of ties in with the first part of scar's quests. So you can wait to do those.

There's a quest on the west side of town (maybe north-west). I think some guy is poisoned or something. You have to find a cure for him. I think that has decent experience. I think a child motions for you to follow him inside a house. Do so.

One guy wants you to find a body from the sewers. Also the guy in the Sorcerer sundries has a quest. And a women in the NE section standing in the in between some inns.

And don't forget the quest where the guy is poisoned in the middle central section. Supposedly you are poisoned as well. But when I got the cure, I drank it, and nothin happened. So that might have been bugged for me. But you can still get some decent experience.

A few quests in the southeast and south. Like killing some basilisks in a warehouse.

Thank you. Hopefully I shall be able to get a few quests in this weekend. I wish that I'd switched Imoen earlier now though. She's not that hot as a low-level wizard.

Still, that other fighter/thief got it instead, so it's not going to waste. Coran?

Coran is better with something like the Eagle Bow and Guantlets of Ogre Power.
