Hi,

I've been experimenting with different mod combinations, starting a new game every time with a fighter who is dualled to Fighter/Thief after the first dialogue with Imoen in CI. I noticed after installing the HLA component of Refinements 3.02 that the newly dualled F/T did not gain a "set snare" icon on his special abilities bar even though there was a message in the dialogue box to say that this ability had been gained. I created a character with the standard thief kit and the 'set snare' icon was still missing. Thinking that there was a mod conflict, I reinstalled a clean BG2/TOB/TOB Bioware patch game with just the HLA component of Refinements installed (i.e. no fixpacks or any other mods) and the same thing happened with both the dualled F/T and a character with a standard thief kit. Uninstalling Refinements brought the icons back. I tried the Bounty Hunter kit and this retains all its "Set Snare" icons with Refinements installed, so I'm wondering if the missing icon on the standard thief kit is intentional or if it is a bug. Thnks.

I've spent the last year or so playing NWN mods and NWN2, but the BG series has a charm to it that makes me want to come back and play it again. After reading though the posts on this forum it seems that there is a problem with the final battle in TOB with BP177. So if I am installing BP now, would it be better to skip the BP version of Ascension and install the standalone Weidu version of Ascension instead or would that hose my BP installation? I still have all the 'classic' BP files on my PC, and since I have little interest in playing through SOS and TDD again I was thinking I might use these again if the first option is not possible. Any ideas? Thanks
