Jaheira Recast

A BG:SoD mod by AstroBryGuy

Introduction

Heidi Shannon (the original voice of Jaheira) was unreachable for Siege of Dragonspear, and Beamdog originally cast a new voice actor in the role. Eventually, they decided the new actor was not working out, and left Jaheira's lines unvoiced and her original BG1 soundset. However, many of Jaheira's voiced lines and almost all of her soundset are included in the SoD files. This mod reconnects those files to the dialog lines and gives Jaheira's soundset an SoD update like the other returning NPCs.

Components

Jaheira Recast: Character Sounds - Use new SoD Character Sounds

This component gives Jaheira her planned soundset for SoD. Almost all the files for the soundset are available, except the REACT_TO_DIE_GENERAL and REACT_TO_DIE_SPECIFIC sounds. The former is left blank and for the latter, another appropriate voiced line has been used.

Here is a sample:

Jaheira Recast: Character Sounds - Use BG1+BG2 Character Sounds

This component keeps Jaheira's original BG1 soundset, but supplements it with BG2 sounds for character sound not present in the BG1 soundset (e.g., the "SPELL_FAILED" sound).

Jaheira Recast: Dialog Voiceover

This component adds the available voiced lines to Jaheira's dialogs. There are about 100 lines of voiced dialog/banter in the SoD files.

Note: it is not required to install the Character Sounds component in order to install the Dialog Voiceover component. You can have original BG1 character sounds and new SoD voiced dialog.

Jaheira Recast: Give Jaheira her BG2 Portrait

This component will replace Jaheira's portrait with her BG2 portrait for BGEE and SoD.

Installation

Note: It is recommended to start a new game, or at least install this mod before starting the SoD campaign.

Hi,

I love the old custom stuff from places like Arundor's Abode, BG Storeroom, and Dharlome's Keep. Weird thing is - I can only import BG2 stuff from Arundor's Abode. None of the BG1 stuff will import. I get an error message from DLTCEP saying it "doesn't support this feature". Any thoughts?

Hello all,

BG1UB v14 is (finally) out of "beta" status! ;D

Until the official download page (http://www.pocketplane.net/bg1ub) is updated, you can download Windows and OSX packages from my GitHub site:

https://github.com/AstroBryGuy/bg1ub/releases/tag/v14.0

Main highlights of v14:

• BGEE compatibility
  
• New Components
  • Nim Furlwing Encounter
    
  • Restored Elfsong Tavern Movie
    
  • Svlast, the Fallen Paladin Encounter
    
  • Mal-Kalen, the Ulcaster Ghost
    
• For a full list of changes, see below...
  

Note: Some of the BG1UB components are blocked from installing, as they are included or superceded by BGEE. Here is a list of components that can be installed on BGEE:

Ice Island Level Two Restoration
The Mysterious Vial
Finishable Kagain Caravan Quest
Coran and the Wyverns*
Kivan and Tazok
Branwen and Tranzig
Place Entar Silvershield in His Home
Scar and the Sashenstar's Daughter
Quoningar, the Cleric
Shilo Chen and the Ogre-Magi
Edie, the Merchant League Applicant
Creature Corrections
Creature Restorations

Store, Tavern and Inn Fixes and Restorations**
Item Corrections and Restorations
***Prism and the Emeralds Tweak
***Duke Eltan in the Harbor Master's Building

****Svlast the Fallen Paladin
****Mal-Kalen the Ulcaster Revenant

*Superceded in BGEEv2
**Most of this component is already included in BGEE.
***New component for v13.1
****New component for v14

NOTE: if you're installing both BG1UB and BG1NPC, BG1NPC has its own versions of the following components: Finishable Kagain Caravan Quest, Coran and the Wyverns, Kivan and Tazok, Branwen and Tranzig. If you install BG1UB first, do NOT install these components since BG1NPC does not detect BG1UB. If you install BG1UB after BG1NPC, it will detect BG1NPC and skip these components.

Version 14 CHANGES

* General Updates for BGEE Compatibility: Replace FILE_EXISTS checks to GAME_IS checks where appropriate. Add BGEE variables to getcpmvara/getcpmvarp calls.
* Update to WeiDU v237, Windows and OS X binaries
* Added UTF-8 support for BGEE via HANDLE_CHARSETS - Add iconv Windows binary for character set conversion. Redefine %LANGUAGE% variables to NOT include the tra directory, e.g., "english" instead of "tra/english". Changing %LANGUAGE% variables to lowercase to allow character set to be inferred.
* Updating OSX sox binary to v14.4.0 (Intel CPU).
* Updating lib files for BGEE compatibility - Adding g3_bgee_cpmvars.tpa. Updating rr_tutubgt_addvars.tpa for BGEE, rename rr_tutubgtbgee_addvars.tpa
* TRA File Updates: Moving game content that uses Windows encoding to a separate file, bg1ub.tra. Setup.tra now only contains install text. This is done so that setup.tra can be excluded from UTF-8 conversion by HANDLE_CHARSETS.
* Ice Island - Moving "tis" subdirectory to "tiz" to work with WeiDU function HANDLE_TILESETS. Moving tisunpack binaries to win32 and osx subdirectories of tiz. Also, renaming ar1010.tiz to ub1010.tiz for unpacking, since it will now unpack to the override directory. Changes to .tp2 file will rename ub1010.tis to the appropriate name after unpacking. BGEE has copies of AR1010 .wed and .bmp files, don't copy these files for BGEE.

Takes away 1000 gold every day. This one is not tied to any particular hour, the counting begins from the hour your game was saved at. You will still be able to buy the equipment with your starting money in a new game.

There are two installers in the package. The 1000 file works as described, and 1000RE instead applies the tax every time the party rests. You should probably choose just one.

1000 was my original goal for the deduction mod, which I then reduced for "The 500." But the game has too many magic weapons and free gold, and 500 is not nearly enough to make any difference. You will feel this one more. The purpose in both cases is to keep the party lean and heroic, relying on its own strength.

"The 1000" also uses a timer instead of a time-of-day check, so it works better.

Includes an optional readme with some considerations about the role of money and treasure.

Room for new content in BG - where?

New content added to BG sometimes makes me feel kind of cramped. I mean, they put Dorn's necromancer Kryll in a half-empty area in the southeast - all right, had a "random" encounter with him between maps - that was clever... But there is also fan-made content. The Friendly Arm is stuffed (but only downstairs, for some reason), and putting more encounters on the old maps is a bad idea, space is the most important thing about this game. There are also too many people trapped in stone lately.

So where else to stick "new" places or just NPC? I'm putting "new" in quotes, because the areas will usually, of course, be rehashes and imports from IWD or some other game...

Some modders found smart solutions. @DarkDogg used the abandoned house while still keeping it abandoned (which is just right), and hacked a cave entrance on another map. (It would be good to hear ideas about which areas in the Infinity games are the least known and used, by the way.) Now, I don't make areas myself, and probably never will, but I'm eager to play in them. I hate stepping on toes, too. So let me think of possible destinations for added content and ways to avoid filling up the game. Here is what comes to mind:

1) Make more caves on the existing maps, with small entrances. A cave entrance is a hole in a wall, so it doesn't clutter the map any or interfere with its theme. For instance, there are enough sand and loam banks on the lonely, muted Firewine map for one or even two holes behind a bush. New caves should also be easy enough to draw up. It is probably better not to staff caves chock-full of creatures, that looks unnatural, especially for a place like Firewine. An empty cave is just fine, it makes the game feel "roomy." An empty cave is a valuable contribution to the game, no less than a full one.

2) Open up the top of Durlag's Tower. When you walk out on the terrace, you see that there remains enough space up there, above the highest floor, for a couple of good-sized rooms. And there must be rooms, too. It can't be just solid stone, can it? The shape of the tower is so irregular, it can probably accept almost any room. There is a also a door, next to the stairs, that is enticing.

3) Use the right river bank of AR0400 (Farmlands north of Baldur's Gate, with the zombies). For some reason the right bank is impassable. Well, there is enough space there for an encounter or two.

4) Use houses in Baldur's Gate itself. There are a lot of blanks with generic NPC. Evict them and put some interesting folks instead. Planescape: Torment had no "generics" in houses, everybody had a name and a quest, and the game was the better for it. But these NPC and their quests, of course, won't be accessible until after Cloakwood.

5) The Nashkel Fair is just what the doctor prescribed if you don't know where to put gamblers, tricksters, idlers, entertainers and wandering heroes. The Fair is, to be frank, not much fun at the moment and never has been. If you have Unfinished Business, there are two or three merchants, fat of course, who sell the same usual boring weapons... you know you want that non-magical sling... but also, let's be Fair, overpowered equipment and duplicates of weapons you thought your party has already come by... The huge gambling tents are next to empty of anything interesting, and you can't even really play. Well, if the Fair really does attract many people from distant parts, as Volo says, you can expect many unusual types there and in the tent of the lotus smokers... Or better, so as not to clutter it, put someone outside.

By the way, when a farmer comes to a fair, he usually wants to buy or sell something practical. Buy a new plow, sell a pig. He's not there to play the roulette... Ahem. If we want to keep a toehold on common sense, should the place not reflect this medieval reality?

6) Place more people on second floors of inns, including the Friendly Arm. Felderpost's is huge. There is enough space in city inns as well. It's okay to make players look for an NPC outside of the bar room. Legwork is a good thing more often than not.

7) Combine NPC. This is a trick, but it works: instead of adding a "realistic" number of servant-type NPC like guards, roaming ass-scratching peasants and so on, add enough to make the impression you want to convey. A certain mod places several merchants in the courtyard of the Friendly Arm, each with two or three guards, and the guards all have flaming swords out... Aside from making Doom Guards less impressive and just being in bad taste, this crowd throngs the map. Two-three or three-four guards would have been enough for all of the merchants. They symbolize strong security, and that's all the situation calls for. It's not like more guards can prevent the player from killing everybody, if he really wants to. It's always best to keep numbers down, this leaves more player attention for the surroundings. And a crowd of people with near-identical avatars looks ridiculous. Sorry, SoD.

8) Take over NPC. Do you see a wandering Reader with no name? A guard called Guard? A little girl called Girl? Don't make your own actors - grab and christen these, already available. You can even sign up a wandering cat if you have a mind to. Beregost or Nashkel aren't metropolises to teem with people (including the little crowd gathered to look at a monk). They are small, boring places, or there wouldn't be any adventurers.

9) Phase out NPC. So you really need a peasant woman to appear at X to answer the party's question, it has to be outdoors, and you can't take over an NPC already there. Why shouldn't, then, she disappear after the party leaves the area, or after 1 minute? Nobody will miss her, surely. She doesn't have to remain, when the only thing she will have to say until the end of the game, if the party stumbles across her again, is "Hello, how fare thee?" We fare fine, thank you, and don't you have better things to do than stand there with your one-liner and block the view?

Those are my suggestions. Obviously there are going to be exceptions, but the important part, on the whole, is to find unexplored spaces instead of jamming it all in a world not meant to hold so much magic, so many weapons, such throngs of people, in short, this amount of content.

Attention, modders and players!

There have been several discussions on whether Beamdog considers adding SoD NPCs to BG2:EE, or not.

I've asked around.

In regards to modders wanting to work with SoD NPCs, we tell you: "Go nuts!". Go and add them to BG2:EE, create stories for them.

While Beamdog would like to perhaps explore the idea in the future, we have no plans to pursue that project any time soon.

I want to say first that I'm using the GoG Version, and I hope there are those on this forum that can help me figure out which mods to avoid or keep. It's been a little difficult due to the whole SoD thing, and I'm very unsure which mods currently are giving trouble for EET in general or the Mod that still clashes with other Mods or SoD. Going through the BWS (On Recommended Mode) these were the Mods I picked out:

Another reason I created this topic because today a unknown mod corrupted the Logo Movies for SoD in the EET Movie Selection under options with SoD Text from the game, and for the life of me I don't know which Mod caused this issue. I hope someone here can figure it out if he/she experience the same issue. I'm assuming if that was broken then other stuff was broken as well.

Actually I'm not even a novice!

Up to this point I haven't bothered with weidu as I see it as a packaging/batch processing/productivity tool. For my little home projects I haven't needed those kind of functions.

I've kinda come up with an idea, a personal project that I might try if its feasible. I'm not going to outline all the details, precisely because its probably not feasible, especially if I can't use weidu to make the grunt work easier.

Basically imagine I'm writing my own personal version of Spell Revisions. I need to touch every spell in the game. For this project, I'd basically need to multiply every caster level entry in every spell 10x, the way Spell Revisions increased each spell to scale to level 50. Yeaah...


So take fireball, spwi304.spl. It has 6 "abilities" (sorry I'm still new and use NI not DLTCEP...I'm sure the later has a better description). These correspond with "minimum level", which I think is the minimum caster level for each ability within the spell; minimum caster level 1 (5d6), and caster levels 6-10.

I would need WEIDU to make copies these 6 "abilities", increasing the minimum caster level to a bogus number each time. So Fireball would have 66 entries/abilities, the current 6, another 6 starting at minimum level 101 through 106, another 6 with a minimum level of 201-206, and so on.

Spells with more minimum caster entries, that scale to level 20, like Armor of faith...same thing. Twenty new entries starting at 101-120, twenty new entries 201-220...etc.

I'd actually need this for EVERY spell in the game. Unfortunately, for my purposes, it doesn't matter whether I actually make any changes to some spells or not, all spells will need base, higher level entries as placeholders even if nothing else changes. My BG2 installation shows 4411 .spls. Hehe. Anyway, I assume Spell Revisions did something similar, and didn't do it by hand. So I'm hoping A: Weidu can run that task for me easily and more and B: drastically increasing the size of .spl files isn't going to kill performance, though I have to increase the size/depth with Weidu before I can do any performance testing. That's the minimum I need to know before I can even continue any theorycraft on the actual project.

I realize that you can't access them in the main campaign, so that leaves a bit of a issue with a continuous story line because you have to import the character for both of them. I imagine for now that you have to role play a bit, and just import your character after a certain point in the game, but the down side is that you won't be able to keep any items from Black Pits 1 & 2.

I guess in a "way" that it balances out the main campaign a bit, but it would just seem odd in another way.

QDMULTI is a library for mods that install multiclass kits in the Enhanced Infinity Engine (v2.0+).

The newest version of this library is available on GitHub.

Background

Beamdog released the Enhanced Infinity Engine (v2.0) with the release of their original game, Siege of Dragonspear. Among numerous other functionality changes, this patch enabled the character creation menus to display multiclass kits. Unfortunately, any kit that would appear in the multiclass menus would not gain any of its unique class bonuses, due to the way that the engine handled multiclass kits.

This library fixes that problem, and enables multiclass kits to both appear properly in character creation and apply the appropriate bonuses during character advancement.

Usage

If you would like to tie your mod's multiclass kits into the qdmulti framework, then you first need to download the latest version of qdmulti and include it somewhere in your mod's installation files. The .tpa file (qd_multiclass.tpa) can be kept anywhere within the installation files, but the other three files must be kept in the same directory.

After adding these files to your mod structure, you can enable the functionality in your mod's compenents by adding the following code to your mod's installation files (either .tp2 or .tpa).

This line should be included before you use the ADD_KIT function (if you are adding a new kit).

INCLUDE ~your/folders/here/qd_multiclass.tpa~ 

This line should be included after you use the ADD_KIT function (if you are adding a new kit).

LAF qd_multiclass
  STR_VAR 
      kit_name = ~kitname~ //the internal name for your kit (e.g. QDMAGUS) 
      kit_clab = ~kitclab~ //the internal name of your kit's clab file, without the .2da extension
      base_class = ~X~ // this can take 6 values: [F]ighter, [P]riest, [D]ruid, [R]anger, [M]age, [T]hief
      mc_dir = ~your/file/structure~ // the directory containing the three files, as noted above
END 

Of the parameters utilized, the only one that I feel needs further explanation is the "base_class" parameter. This parameter handles which class the kit abilities will be tied to; if you say that a multiclass kit's base class is fighter ("base_class = F"), then it will gain the assigned kit bonuses from increases in its fighter level.

Limitations

Note that this library is only designed to handle class benefits that are granted through the class' clab file; it will not handle specialist mages' school restrictions, specific kit's item restrictions, or other effects tied to the kit's usability flags.

Furthermore, due to the length restrictions on internal names, the library can only include abilities that have internal names of 7 characters or less. Abilities with internal names of 8 characters (or more) will not be converted during the qd_multiclass function.

Applications

This library is very versatile, and can be used in a variety of scenarios. Some of the things it can do include:
- giving a kit to a multiclass character at character creation (e.g. Swashbuckler/Mage).
- allowing a multiclass character to have one kit for each of their classes (e.g. a Berserker/Priest of Talos).
- allowing modders to implement their own multiclass kits that have abilities tied to each of the base classes (e.g. the Bladesinger Fighter/Mage kit).
- allowing a single- or multiclass character to gain the benefits of multiple kits of the same class.

QDMULTI in Action

Mods that make use of QDMULTI include:
- Eldritch Magic by @Abdel_Adrian
- Might and Guile by @subtledoctor

Permissions and Support

I am publishing QDMULTI so that other modders may make multi-class kits more reliably and efficiently. I do not require nor expect modders to contact me requesting permission to use this library. If you encounter errors while using this library, please contact me so that I may provide fixes and updates.

Here's a link to a mod shell so that you can make your own soundset collections with subtitles

Awesome Soundsets Vol. 0 Soundset Mod Shell

If you enjoyed any of the soundsets and you do not already own the game that the soundsets come from, you are largely encouraged to buy the related games, both because they're excellent games on their own, and because this way you're giving something back to the game developer.
If you are interested in contributing to these mods or have suggestions, please post below

"Awesome Soundsets" Volumes feature up to 33 sounds w/ subtitles in IWDEE, 25 in BGEE, and 29 in BG2EE. The default soundsets in IWDEE feature 25/33 sounds and BGEE default soundsets only use 15/25 sounds. Soundsets added with this mod use up to the maximum number of sounds - depending on if appropriate sounds are available.

The weidu installer will install the correct number of sounds possible with subtitles for each different installation. Using weidu you can also add and remove individual soundsets as you like.

This thread can be used to request soundsets, commentary, to report problems or even just to let me know that you like these.

Congenio's Pebble Collection

New Component: "Congenio's Pebble Collection" - Allows multiple Ioun stones to stack without using any equipment slots, as per PnP. Ioun stones can still be worn as helmets, and if used in the equipment tab, will "float" around you giving you the benefits of the stone and a free helmet slot. Simply use an innate ability to reach out and grab the Ioun stone you wish to remove from orbit. This can be quite powerful by ToB.
Wong Fei's Ioun Stone now also has same usability as all other Ioun stones, excluding Malla's Soul Stone, which still excludes Good-Aligned users.




WARNING: Ioun stones that use Opcode "Stat: Maximum HP Modifier [18]" work differently than others. In order for the HP modifier to be removed when the Ioun stone is, the HP modifier cannot be saved and loaded. In other words, if you save with the Pale Green Ioun Stone and/or Wong Fei's Ioun Stone equipped in orbit, you must equip them again upon loading to receive the HP modifier.

Change Log:

[Upcoming] - Kits: Collector, Elven Minstrel, Huntsman, Infiltrator, Spellfincher, and Faiths & Powers-compatible "Clergy of the Seldarine."

[v1.68] - Further improved Bladesongs! Bladesingers are meant to stick to robes/elven chain and single weapon style, but as a fighter/mage kit, they were able to perform their powerful bladesongs in cumbersome full plate and heavy tower shields. No more! Bladesongs are now properly limited to Bladesingers in armor no heavier than chain mail so long as they are wielding a single one-handed melee weapon and have one free hand. Splint/Plate, ranged weapons, 2H-weapons, shields, and even hand-to-hand combat will disable bladesinging, removing its effects and preventing its reapplication until proper weapon/armor requirements are met. Courtesy of @subtledoctor.
- Revised abilities for Herbalists & Priests of Mystra, improving balance as well as kit usefulness.
- A few components shifted groups (but not component numbers) to maintain a minimum number of component groups.
- Bug Fixes: Multiple strref fixes, including War Wizard's innate ability descriptions.
Removed all instances of 'sod' under REQUIRE_PREDICATE GAME_IS, due to the fact that IWDEE does not yet recognize that game.
Fixed multiple Ioun stones for IWDEE. Also replaced 2 SoD Ioun .BAMs with closest matching images from compatible games.

[v1.11] - Removed 25STWEAP.2da made unnecessary with patch v2.1.
- Disabled Alpha components for IWD2 & PS:T.
- Slight changes to custom races. Tiefling should work in BGEE, SoD, and BG2EE. Vampire should appear in BG2EE, but has no selectable classes. Removed changes to IWDEE racetext.2da.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2Y0FUSXFUWVhoRnc

[v1.1] - Bug Fixes: Abyssal Warrior's level 1 free weapon now created in inventory.

A question for modders/ Modding and new creatures

I dont know a thing about modding myself. But I wanted to ask a question. How hard is it to make new creatures for the game. I have long thought that some of the old standards in dungeon critters would be nice to have. Examples would be rust monster(eating nice metal weapons), slithering trackers to interrupt a nice rest, piercers to drop down on a party from above, and trappers to come up from the floor.
Myconids were a great addition I thought to the original games. We already have some nice slimes and oozes. (can you detect my gray druid tendancies yet, hehheh).
Just thinking aloud here and wondering what you folks thought.

Introducing the Ishlilka mod for BG!




Ishlilka is a newly trained Wizard Slayer that has come to this part of the Sword Coast to prove herself worthy to her father and his band of reputable mercenaries. Noble at heart, and up alone against a strange foe, she willingly takes up your cause in exchange for aid in her own.


What you can expect:

At least two banters with every companion in BG1.

A friendship and romance path.

A unique quest for BG1 and SOD.

Various interjections at different points in the game.

A balanced front liner with a unique ranged weapon.

FORESHADOWING!

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

Some tips:

This is an Alpha Release, it has never before seen the light of day. I have tested it extensively by myself but only by myself. Bugs may occur. If you see something, say something. Updates in content and potential bug fixes will happen.

This mod was made for BG:EE with SOD installed. I don't know what will happen if you add it to a vanilla BG:EE install. You may just get an "installed with warnings" and it will be fine. You may open up a portal to the Hells. I can not be held responsible for such reckless acts. (I will post a standalone BG:EE version in the comments sooneventuallyish)

She can be found at the grounds of the Friendly Arm Inn.

Romance is available to Half Orcs, Humans, and Half Elves, although Half Elves will have special difficulties.

Ishlilka will follow you into SOD only if she was with you for the final battle with Sarevok and you export your game.

If you failed to complete her quest in BG1 but brought her into SOD, you need to talk to her if you want to start her next quest.

The plot will get thicker and the quests will get juicier in BG2/TOB

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

If you have any suggestions, comments, tips on how I can improve it, reasons why I suck, please let me know.

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

Special thanks to every modder who has ever made a tutorial as well as a certain trio of gibberlings whose advice was invaluable.

Remember back in the day there were creatures shown, but never actually appeared in the game? I remember seeing things like a Yellow Dragon, and I *think* a Purple Dragon? Correct me on this if I'm wrong, I've not looked at the guide in a long long time now.

No matter how many times I've played BG2 that I never encountered those creatures.

I tried to create and set a new global variable but it doesnt seem to work when I tried them under dialogue files

Any idea?

For eg this is one of the global variable inside:

SetGlobal("bd_205_forge_carapace","global",1)


I try to add a new variable:

SetGlobal("bd_205_forge_combatsh","global",1)



But it doesnt seem to work? The dialogue cannot progress when the condition which requires:

Global("bd_205_forge_combatsh","global",1)

doesnt trigger.

Mod Content

- 1 new NPC with banters, interjections and talks to PC
- 1 new item
- 1 NPC specific kit with 3 new spells
- 14 friendship talks
- Soundset taken from Icewind Dale
- NEW - full content for Siege of Dragonspear expansion

She can be found and recruited outside of the Song of the Morning Temple by a PC of non-evil alignment at level 2 with a minimum of 2500 experience, though she will gain experience to match the PC at the moment of recruitment.

She banters with every Bioware and EE NPC at least once, talking more to good and neutral NPCs, and fourteen friendship talks planned with the option of teasing a romance. Currently there are no quests and no plans to add any.

In Siege of Dragonspear, she can be found in the Iron Throne building. She has a semi-romantic path with a PC with a minimum of 12 Charisma and any gender, alignment or race (though she will still not join evil protagonists).

Be warned that as a paladin, certain evil actions in the expansion will cause her to leave the party permanently.

Biography

When asked about her past, SIRENE averts her gaze and flatly states that there is little to say. She was orphaned and left to die as a babe, likely abandoned due to her apparent fiendish heritage. Only by luck did she survive certain death by being discovered by a travelling priest of Ilmater, who brought her to others of his faith and raised her as a Holy Warrior of Suffering, the order of paladins dedicated to the Crying God. She resents her own contradictory nature, though she is unsure of which side.

Personality

Sirene exhibits many of the typical qualities expected of a paladin; she is kind, dutiful and faithful. However, beneath her calm exterior lies a hidden temper owing to the fell blood which flows in her veins. Though she is a devoted champion of Ilmater, a past of being ostracized and persecuted by those she wishes to call her fellow men has left her unsure of her abilities and worthiness. She can be easily provoked by challenging, insulting or mocking her faith, which can be seen in her interactions with characters such as Tiax, Eldoth or even Xan, though she is also quick to acknowledge and apologize for her mistakes. She is closer to the 'good' side of her alignment rather than the 'lawful', and prefers protecting the weak to destroying evil. Because of this, she may be slightly more tolerant of evil companions, even if she can also be quite judgmental towards them. However, she will not tolerate Dorn (though they can come to an uneasy truce during Siege of Dragonspear)

Friendship & Future Romance

Sirene can be befriended by a PC of any alignment, race or statistics though she will not join evil protagonists. As she has few living friends in her life, she will be eager to befriend a PC that is willing to accept her. A PC of either gender with a Charisma of 12 or greater may flirt with her, though there is no separate romantic branch in BG:EE. In Siege of Dragonspear, there is a 'romance' of sorts, though it is significantly less romantic than the original romances.
