And if you're improved hasted, you double your APR. If you're equipped with two of those weapons and you're hasted, you gain +1 APR. Equipping one of said weapons doesn't work and neither does equipping one weapon and hasting yourself. If you equip your Shadowdancer (or a character using the Rod of Shadowstep) with two different weapons that increase your attacks per round (one in the mainhand and one in the offhand), you will be able to attack twice during Shadowstep.

By forcing the player to be either good/neutral, the role-playing, open-ended aspect of these early BioWare games is downplayed, so use of emergent gameplay is required to fully embrace different role-playing experiences. Players are discouraged from role-playing as evil characters - despite the most powerful NPCs, Viconia, Sarevok, Edwin and Korgan being of evil alignment - by reducing the rewards for evil actions, and increasing the penalties associated with them. This serves as a constraint to true roleplay that would emerge in later generation RPG games. Additionally, BioWare selectively ignores many of the D&D rules for dramatic effect or to force a certain course of action, while in a tabletop game the Dungeon Master would be obliged to follow the game rules, even as he/she invents scenarios for the players. 3.17 Spider Gnome Trick/Shocking Grasp Trickīecause Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II have capped stats, there are technical limits to the abilities of individual characters, and tactics can only go so far to compensate for these limits.3.13 Righteous Wrath of the Faithful Trick.2.77 Teleport through Walls/Locked Doors using Wild Magic.2.67 Revive monsters or Yoshimo after his "permanent" death.2.59 Pet Basilisk Strategy/Basilisk XP Loop.2.58 Permanent party-wide Polymorph Self/Shapechange.2.55 Pacify hostile characters permanently.2.54 Obtain pickpocketable items with any class (except Wizard Slayers).
