I will just say that nothing was quite so satisfying in BG1 as that first time putting an entire village of Xvarts to bed. Sleep kicked thorough ass in that game hehe. The combo of mage on Sleep and the cleric on Command was essentially unstoppable in virtually every combat/encounter that didn't feature undead or fey creatures.
One self restriction was to use Color Spray rather than Sleep as the interrupt, cause it was slightly less op and had some wildness with the cone and the friendly line of fire aspect. Even there though, making a gang of Xvarts taste the rainbow was still pretty enjoyable and op.
Sleep was insane in BG1. It had a definite charm over edging with a fireball or web too, which felt more meta than just kicking in door charging into the room and putting everyone to sleep lol. I do hope we get a proper Xvart smackdown at one point though. Nothing quite says Baldur's Gate like climbing atop a mountain of Xvart corpses. The other brother Darryl being no exception there. I hope we get a Xvart with a really massive dome and an annoying yip bark that just makes you want to go no mercy. Even Ursa couldn't help but go mauling there heheh. Sorry slightly off topic, but yeah, Sleep. That's a tough one
