We could always put it to the test. If we can convince Larian to do something really stupid, then we would definitely be "insanely powerful". Hmmm... lets see.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> How about a few 'features' mentioned in a Temple of Elemental Evil forum topic (thanks for the link Winterfox, now I don't have to check out the demo).

[*] Any NPCs that join the party automatically pick up loot and keep it until they become encumbered. The only way to get them unencumbered is to return to town so they can sell the items... and keep the gold.
[*] Change the Identify spell so it no longer gives any information about magical items besides the name, and costs money even if you cast the spell yourself.

Would that be enough? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
There are lots of idea to choose from in that topic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
