I have rewrote this 5 times because I am non too happy with the extreme game balance problem.
Is there anyway to tone down the power and or numbers of the nuclear skeleton warriors I am facing (at 9th-10th lvl) that does not include playing outside of core rules! HOLY FAK! You see I really hate having to cheat. (PS,,, Vlad what were you thinking)?

Bereth, I still don't understand how the scenario with the vampire you gave even comes close to anything in the BG video game. Not one vampire was that involved in such a scenario to kill. Yes of course in a Pen and Paper play those scenarios are likely and more mentally challenging. BG 1 or 2 had no such tactic or strategy so I don't see the relationship at the time you gave it and every time you refer to it. Regardless of whether I answered it or not, there is no relation.
Your point about Liches and their phylacteries or whatever is another example of stuff that never appeared in BG 1 or 2 or if so, please site an example from the vanilla BG games. Where is that balance? Balance is shifted in the player(s) favor to have a better chance at winning and completing the game ina video game setting. Beholders guarding dragons hoards or both together you say in D&D. Interesting scenario and your knowledge of the D&D setting 2nd ed. is profound, so kudos to that. Please site the example in BG1 or 2 where this takes place. I know, Windspear Hills with the Director crammed in that little hole before Samia? How balanced was that? By the rules? yes I would say so. Balanced? absolutley not. Or where are the beholders together with dragons in the vanilla game? You have already proved to us that the BG games are based on the rules of D&D and favor the player. Not every mod or modder wants to create awesome scenarios like you describe where it takes an hour to do one battle. That is the preference of the modder and you must accept that. Saying that they are way off by the rules is an opinion and they might not care about that so much. We still love you Bereth!
