The Rogue Rebalancing mod is a gameplay modification for Baldur’s Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal. This mod strives to bring the Rogue classes (Bards and Thieves) and their respective kits closer to their Pen and Paper 2E AD&D incarnations. In so far, Rogue Rebalancing will restore proper dual-wielding skills to Bards and Thieves, revise some of the Bard and Thief kits and their respective high level abilities, add more items useful for Rogues to the game, enhance the Shadow Thief opponents which the player faces while siding with Bodhi in chapter 2 and introduce a new challenging encounter with a party of Cyric’s Chosen in chapter six. Some of the introduced changes will be applied immediately, but for best results you should start a new game after installing this mod. More detailed descriptions of all mod components can be found in the documentation section of the Rogue Rebalancing website.
New in v3.6:
This revision adds difficulty level scaling to the Chosen of Cyric encounter and the Shadow Thief improvements, improves compatibility with other BG2 mods (especially BGT and BGTuTu), corrects several errors which were present in v3.5 and adds a number of small improvements, optimizations and tweaks to the AI scripts of all characters and creatures which are a part of the Rogue Rebalancing mod. A full list of changes and additions is available here. As always, it is recommended to completely uninstall any old versions of this mod before installing the latest revision.

After a seeming forever of promised releases, Iylos is now publically available for download!
Iylos is a Throne of Bhaal only NPC from Amkethran; a serious and angry man at first glance, Iylos has an ironic, slightly twisted sense of humour which doesn’t exactly fit with one’s general idea of a monk. He has 2-3 banters with each NPC, interjections, a developed friendship track as well as several scenery dialogues and an extensive PID menu which includes a chatpack and flirtpack, all of which are optional in the install. He is voiced by Bob ‘TheWizard’ Dupois, and has crossmod banters with several mod NPCs including: Solaufein, Kelsey and Kivan & Deheriana, as well as several NPCs for whom ToB content is under development.
When he joins the party, he makes no pretences of friendship, and bluntly tells you he was sent to find out your intentions. He will not join an evil character, and will not be in a party with a bad reputation for very long.
I apologise to those who have been waiting for him! And please note that this is a beta version, so there may be bugs. I have tested it fairly solidly, but it’s never possible to eradicate everything - so if you do find any bugs, please post them on the forum! :)
“This version of the worldmap brings some new components.
Now you can choose between two different sizes for the painted map.
There is another very comfortable new component, which converts all your savegames to the v6.6 format. So you don’t have to start a new game.
The italian translation is added.

Classic Adventures version .41 has now been released, which covers the ending of A2 - the party will get as far as standing on the ship and telling Captain Beril they are ready to head out.
There are five new NPCs available in Classic Adventures as of this version, including the LE Human Fighter Icar, NE Human Assassin Buranta, and the NG Human Invoker Chaarna are all available for joining the party, and with each version more and more NPC banter is added!
Just a quick note, I’ve been asked to mention that I actually wrote Buranta, so if you’re looking for a clever, thoroughly evil rogue… you can get one in A2 ;)
If there’s an NPC you’d particularly like to see more content for, please post on the forums, and I’m sure the team would be happy to oblige!
Similarly, the Classiv Adventures team would be very grateful if you could post your feedback on CA on the forums! That doesn’t just go for NPCs included in this version, or just NPCs at all - but also new areas, previously existing quests you hadn’t played or a character you hate!
You can download the new version of Classic Adventures here, check out the forum here, and check out the Classic Adventures website here!
