Oy vey. You are so going to be killed by the big fish. And there're other enemies in the fishing area. One of them has a CR of, what, 8?

By the time I finished Hommlet, I was level six or so. XP harvesting is so fun.

Pathfinding: Yes, it was stupid in BG. It is stupider in ToEE. (If you try to click on a point on the map where there's a wall/river/other obstacle between the point and your party, the game would freeze for a second to calculate the pathfinding. And that should not happen at all. No, my machine's not a crappy PIII or something. It's way, way above the minimum - and recommended - requirement.)
