Well its only taken me a year but I have finally finished BG2SoA. Fantastic ending. Anyhow Im in the process of tracking down a copy of the Throne of Bhaal - can I import the characters from SoA and what do I need to keep to do this?

You will have the option of importing a saved game like your final save from SOA into TOB. Or you can beat the game and go straight into TOB, this way you get the bonuses from the tears of Bhaal.

Importing characters with Hell Bhaalpowers has massive advantages. There are quite a lot of little battles that are made a hell of a lot easier because of the "+1 or Less" Immunity you get permanantly from the Abyssal Door.

Question: are those bonuses kept when importing from ToB back into normal BG2?

Yeah but why would you???

Evil rampage.

Actually, I was just curious. :D
