Spell scroll "Mage Shield" turns into "Shield" when written into the spell book (lvl 1 spell). The descriptions don't match either. Scrolls description talks something about increasing AC bonus with lvl and the spell just says that you always get fixed AC6.

Okey I picked up Ajantis and his special shield is pretty useless. It grans profiency in shield&sword style, but Ajantis already got that maxed out making the shields special ability completely useless. Additionaly the shield requires 13 dex (which Ajantis has), but wearing any heavier armor reduces dexterity so Ajantis can't use his shield. Since Ajantis is a paladin, being able to wear heavy armor should be reasonable (actually he is wearing such armor by default).

Yeah I was afraid that modders want to keep their files under their own control, sometimes even with a good reason

I wasn't suggesting to make compiled version torrent. Heck, things seem to be updating so fast with BWP that it would be old before people get it downloaded. What I was thinking was making torrent out of "BiG World Downloads" folder. New torrent would ship with each BWP version with updated files, instead of updated links (current model), updated torrent (basically just a link too).

When entering the cloakwoods mine area (5th area in cloakwood) I ran into the Arch Druid, he had 5 or so bears with him. 2 bears were hostile right away, and 3 of stayed neutral the whole time and walked away. The Arch Druid just kept casting protection from fire on himself once every second and didn't do anything else. Perhaps the ring that gives him immunity to fire was cursed?  

Yeah actually I ran into all of those guys during the battle with the camp, outdoors. No wonder it was so hard

Its great that there is larger number of magic items around the game, but I think they are way too overpowered. I have AC2 bracers (The best ones in BG2 were AC3). I have bow with +1 str, +2 thac0, +7 damage! I think the best bow in BG2 was worse than this. I have shield which gives +50 resist fire, +50 resist cold, +60 resist lighting, 2 ac and it doesn't even give me casting speed penalty.

I think stats of all these items could easily be halved and they'd still be really good for BG1. They'd still be a lot more powerful than all original items in BG1 combined!
