Thanks

- It looks like a bit easier to understand than the older versions, though I might change my opinion when I finally play it.

- I did not find stacking rules. I also did not see that an effect has a type.
In DnD3 each effect had a type and only effects from a different type stacked. So I had to look for each ability if it gives me a morale bonus, a luck bonus, an enhancement bonus and so on. So a belt of strengh and a spell to boost strengh did not stack, but they would stack with barbarian rage.
BG1+2 did not even allow me to equip items if they have an effect that does not stack, e.g. magic armor+ring of protection.

- quote: "While in the beginning a party with only melee-focused characters may seem more than enough, as the game gets harder, spellcasters become more and more necessary."
Yes, that why I want to use a warrior (fighter or paladin), a divine caster (cleric or druid), an arcane caster (wizard or sorc) and a rogue (maybe bard instead)

Edit: I also did not find types of defense. Do they not exist anymore?
In P:K you had to look at dodge AC, natural AC, armor AC and so on. I also did not find touch attack or flat footed to see which armor can be used for defense.
