    Oh erm...

    I forgot the order of my questions

    1. Highest required stats are 15 INT 14 CHA 14 WIS, didn't bother checking alternate dialogue options if they lead down the same path to Quest EXP except for stuff that involve WIS as there are alternate routes that are done through INT (or even no stats) or there are no Rewards at all. There are "minimum" stats for some dialogue checks didn't bother with them as they involved just pissing off people.

    There's one check that involves having more than 14 STR and some INT and CHA for Uligar in Kuldahar Pass to avoid him going auto-hostile but that's all it does, no Quest XP or Journal Entry

    2. Since Immunities to Normal/Magical Weapons are given by Items that are placed into Monster Inventories, I just looked into the Inventory data and found that the highest Immunity giving item is one that gives Immunity to all normal weapons and Magical Weapons +2 and below

    3. No enemy in this game is has significant immunities to Slashing and Crushing or Piercing and Crushing unless they're completely Immune to everything (meaning they're not supposed to be killed, like the Planar Spirit you summon with Contact Other Plane) So a Slashing/Piercing + Crushing setup would serve well for optimal weapon choices if just considering the types.

    4. DSimpson's FAQ has all the correct Random Tables so if it's not there then it's not in an unmodded game. With the exception of what can be bought from stores and what's found in the pre-made characters.

    I think that covers all the questions I asked.

    As for what was answer in kmonsters post...

    That was for the Morning Star of Action+4 in a full unmodded IWD+HoW+TotL game and Wisdom not having any effect on Saving Throws despite what the in-game text and the manual says.

    3. It's only in the pregenerated paladin's inventory.

    8. There's no saving throw bonus/penalty for high wisdom, but the racial saving throw bonusses were implemented.

    Oh well, there goes the best weapon in the game.

    Still not a big loss, lots of other weapons to make up for it. Thanks for confirming that Wisdom doesn't add to Saving Throws, definitely makes it easier to get 18/00 Str and 18 Dex & Con for my main fighters.

    [​IMG] Paromin, please don't remove the questions that you pose as that invalidates all the responses you get and prevents others from benefiting from this thread in any way even if you don't need it any longer.
