    Hey everyone, its time for today's news from the BG2 board, hope you like it.

    From David Gaider, BG2 Designer

    Change in the Swashbuckler kit:

    I was looking at the details posted on the Swashbuckler kit at BGChronicles and I noticed that the kit has changed since the preview copy went out.

    So, for you kit fanatics out there, I thought I'd post the new details:

    ADVANTAGES:
    - bonus +1 to AC
    - another +1 to AC for every 5 levels
    - +1 to hit and damage every 5 levels
    - may specialize in any weapon that a thief can use
    - may place 3 stars in two-weapon fighting style proficiency

    DISADVANTAGES:
    - no backstab multiplier

    ----------------

    That's it.

    And some info on the Druid Shapeshifter kit:

    I don't remember if a +4 enchantment is needed to hit a greater werewolf, but the enchantment required IS fairly high. But yes... the shapeshifter gets all the benefits of his form, including regeneration and what-not (and the regeneration rate for a greater werewolf is pretty crazy).

    Another question I noticed recently was whether or not the druid kits took on the ThAC0 of the forms they assume. The answer is no... but their stats are increased according to the form and they get the bonuses from that. Cernd, for instance, gets a +3 to his ThAC0 when he transforms, simply because the werewolf strength is higher. His AC also drops down to -2 (or something to that effect... my exact numbers may be off). He also gets 3 attacks/round and does the damage of a werewolf/greater werewolf... that I'm sure of.
