On the IWD portraits: I could mail them to you, but you could also do it yourself. Just play IWD, and print the screens when you've got a large portrait on it (by using the Print Screen button on your keyboard). These screens will be saved into your IWD directory. Now use a program like Photoshop to crop these screenshots, and make sure you've got the right sizes (38x60 & 110x170). If you're lazy and want me to e-mail you this stuff, please let me know!

About the Hobgoblins: try to see it this way; just before shooting the (normal) arrows, the Hobgoblins dip them into a bottle of poison. In other words, they make the arrows poisoness by themselves (the arrows are normal just before they're being fired). This seems to be a reasonable explanation IMO.

Mail on the way

About arrows, sorry but this seems a self-made explanation , though it is logic. Aaah, it would be great if I could buy these bottles in shops...perhaps in BG2?

Petrarcus, can you mail me the portraits as well? I can't seem to find decent portraits which are not scanned off some book/magazine cover. It's not that they aren't nice, but that I would rather associate my character with an unfamilar face than one which I've read about (case in point: Raistlin from Dragonlance and Elminster from the Forgotten Realms). Many thanks!
As for poison arrows, wouldn't it be possible for the assassin (in BG2) to poison, say, a whole bunch of arrows? It would be a definite bane to mages/clerics !!

Adhrael, sorry I mailed you this late but as I said, BG2 consumes a lot of my time.

Mir_ror: I'll send you those portraits too, but not today, it takes a hell of a lot time to send all of them you know. Be patient, or ask Adhrael!

No problemo guys, glad to be of help! BTW, new portraits for IWD are released monthly on the official Interplay IWD site. Go check out the latest ones, they're pretty good.
