BG1: Possible bug?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.baldurs-gate (More info?)

I am playing BG/ToSC Original Saga with Baldurdash and ToTSC text correction
installed. I thought I had heard of a bug where hit points were generated
wrong or something...

I know that might not be helpful, but when Kagain and Montaron both gained
a level, each only got one HP. Kagain got 6 with his CON bonus, but Monty I
believe only got one. This is strange since his CON bonus allows him a +1,
so he should have gotten at least 2.

Is this a bug that was never fixed?

Thanks,

Brandt

That has to do with a mod, not the unmodded game.

He's multiclassed, which muddies the waters some.

Long time since I played bg1 - but I seem to possibily remember them
getting hit point increases wrong somewhere. However there is usully
another explanation.

Is Monteron perhaps a dual class character? Did he perhpas gain a
level in mage/theif? The way the con bonus thang tends to work for
dual class characters is that they will gain the correct overall
benifit upon both classes increasing in level - i.e. it may balance
out when the other class catches up.

Oops, I had forgotten about the multiclass thing. Monty had in fact gained
a level of thief, then I forgot it the number of HP is divided by the number
of classes or something like that.

Thank you all.

iirc I was unhappy with the probability of the hp increase rolls for
multiclass characters - basically you would get 1 out of possible 2
3/4's of the time instead of 1/2 the time as it ought to theoretically
pan out.

The "rules" specify round down, keep the fraction for the next
roll.
The probabilities are based on that rule.
