1. Because according to his story he had no chance to adventure or do any serious job. He was a servent. A slave. Still, he will lvl up rapidly. In my last game he had 14 level when I left to Spellhold - the same level as Dorn. Neera - which I joined before these two - had 15 level. I believe that's as it should be.

 

2. Because he can't. You must have some additional mods which probably affect rules. I attach the picture to prove it. I'm in the Underdark, that would be reason for looking like a drow.

 

3. There are talks, interjections,few (but only few) new spells for him to learn. In ToB he got a mini-quest. He also has his very own HLA.

 

4. I believe he's not "squishy" and I'm not sure what other mage you use. Plus, he was written to be a 2nd mage in your group, not the only one. He has some quite powerful spells. There are two which can deal damage to those with magic resistance etc. (only two, because that's usually not an option for mage, but these spells "throw" stuff at enemies, so...). His sword may provide a magical rest. There are many features I included to balance the lack of huge spell choice. It's a matter of finding those options.

 

I am quite happy with how Foundling sounds and what he introduces into the game. I believe that he's well balanced, however if you install mods like SCS it may look differently. I play games for stories and I don't use mods that would make my game extra hard. I also do not use mega-mods, BGT or  BiG World etc so I don't end up with 20th level before Spellhold

Until now I found 2 spells that appear to be buggy, I hope to fix those once SHS if fixed and I can upload files.

 

Thanks for your comment and cheers.

Is this the right place to report issues?

 

I play your mod in EET with the recommended patch for this game in place.

I encounter CtDs under the following conditions

 

Spoiler

I follow his quest and reached the first mod area (l#fou0.are). Received hint and item from ivory queen. Explored (nearly) all of the area, killed all the spectres and winter wolfs. Defeated the grey hag. Placed the ivory item on the glacier, which triggered some animation in respond - the item is not destroyed.
Now, when I move further to NE (I killed the last three winter wolf up there as well) I always get a CtD at around co-ordinates 3500/500.
I checked what I could in NI but found nothing amiss, except for missing l#fosnt.bcs for one of the traps, but this should not lead to a CtD in my view.
The EE does not give any information on CtD, except that it created its unreadable crash report for bean dogs, so no help there.

 

Edit

The problem disappears after this

Spoiler

Found the cave of the Ivory witch and told her of success. She said the blockade is now gone.

Probably some animation problem as long as this *blockade* is active. There is no visual indication/difference before or after.

The crash in L#Fou0.are was caused as you suspected by an animation problem, now corrected in the BiG World Fixpack and in the upcoming next release of Foundling.

For some reason this mod is failing in setup. I have given the dbug file below.

The mod will be updated. I am not 100% sure, but find your directory where the save games are located (that would be Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition in my documents for me) - that's the place where savegames folders are. If there is no mpsave directory, create one and try again.

Another issue with the foundling: 

 

At Level 11 he gets Level 6 Spells but no spell-slots, same on Level 13 for Level 7 spells. Looks like there has been a shift.

 

If the Foundling is leaving the group (due to high reputation) he can join immediately but looses all memorized spells

 

Progression: It took me some time till I did the shadow dragon quest. Therefore the foundling is 1 M XP behind most chars. I understand the reason to start at low level, but it might be a good idea to reduce this XP gap by "extraordinary experience gain". Maybe after dialogues with the HC when the foundling learned something new about the world. Check if there is an XP gap larger than 300k (or whatever) and if positive the foundling gains 50k XP (for example) after the dialogue. Technically you would just have to add this to his d-file.

Thanks for those reports. Now they were noticed. I just changed my job so I have a bit less time, but I am still working on stuff. I had to release IEP updates first due to a promise I made. I may also need to consult the weird spell issue, but these posts won't be ignored

Cheers!

Next remark: Lots of the spell scrolls for the Foundling have a correct title, but the description is the one of Larlochs Minor Drain.

 

"Outerblack" is kept memorized, maybe only the "pre-learned" spells have the problem to get lost.
