Pack Contents/Description:
--------------------------


1- A brand new shop located in area AR1400 (the shadow woods), this shop sells all manner of evil items including a set of potions that can turn you into a member of the undead. Lich, Vampire, Skeleton Warrior & Wraith are fully playable complete with all standard undead powers & weaknesses (such as inability to use healing potions) These undead potions have a high level (often stat also) requirement I will not tell you those limits. find the shop and enjoy working it out for yourself.

2- Another semi-shop located in the first level (Irenicus' Dungeon), this shop sells potions that will alter your race to one of the following; Beholder, Gibberling, Gnoll, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kobold, Lizardman, Minotaur, Ogre and Orc.

All the changes are in-line with the rules given in the AD&D complete book of humanoids (apart from beholder) They are (in my opinion) a true conversion of the Ad&d races into TDD.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
---------------------.


To play as any of the new races you MUST start a NEW game as a HUMAN. This is because humans have no racial bonuses for me to need to delete before changing your race.

The undead potions have a high level (& often stat) requirement I will not tell you those limits. find the shop and enjoy working it out for yourself.

HOW TO INSTALL:
---------------


Install (ie, copy)the directory, exe and tp2 files to your native Baldur's Gate II directory and run the exe. You'll see a DOS pop up box presenting you with some install options. Following these should be child's play.
