Nearing the end of my recent run in V6. A few minor bugs to report. Maybe these are already fixed in 6.1

a) There are two types of chain lightning scrolls. Cromwell doesn't recognize one type when making the NS of Air. I believe I got the ones Cromwell didn't recognize from the rakasha in Suldanessalar (no save nearby to share). Also at one point I had two types of spellstrike and chain contingency scrolls but again have no recollection where these came from.

Cernd loses his 4th level spells if he unequips (or dies and then reequips) the Circlet of Golden Flowers. I think this must apply to any divine casters. Would appreciate if the +WIS bonus was replaced with bonus 4th/5th level spell slots. May want to consider for the Silver Ioun stone but I don't really think that item gets too much use by clerics/druids or anyone for that matter.

c) Unbreachable hardiness on Lord Roenall and Supreme Leader. Krell mentioned a couple others though I can't confirm those.

d) Death spell on trolls doesn't fully kill them - possible to kill twice and get double XP (once with death spell, second time normal way)

e) IA specific potions and scrolls dont stack > 5. Notably barbarian essence, oil of resurgence, potion of clarity, and potion of acid resistance, and either hand of undoing or disrupt undead. Probably both scroll types. Would love for this to be fixed to help inventory management game.

f) Not enough gold to craft everything I want without looting every single body! Sort of kidding, but the inventory management/looting sub-game is definitely cumbersome. I would rather just move onto the next fight instead of looting 30 rune assassins each for their +2 short swords, +2 leather armor, 3 types of potions, and 2 types of gems. Would be nice if the bosses just dropped a large chunk of gold instead of all of these small 0.1-1.5k items that you have to loot, organize, and then sell. Happy to discuss this concept further if interested.

There are also two types of Dispel Magic and Stoneskin scrolls.

There is a similar bug while equipping/uneqipping Dak'Kon Zerth blade and Ring of Acuity. Sometimes 2nd, 3rd or even 4th level spell slots are all erased. Didn't find a pattern though. As for the Silver Ioun Stone, if you made a successful run of BG1 + TOTSC with a party containing a Ranger, you can boost the Ranger's wisdom to 21, which after dualling (in BG2) will give definitely nice spell bonuses. But yeah, unless you have a pure cleric protagonist, you cannot raise wisdom to 25 the normal way.

d) Death spell on trolls doesn't fully kill them - possible to kill twice and get double XP (once with death spell, second time normal way)

Not twice. As many times as you like. Just give them the time to regenerate, and kill them anew with Death spell. This is one of the endless early-game xp exploits.

Not to mention there are two types of Magic Shielding, Clarity, Barbarian Essence, Storm and Cloud giant str potions, Superior and Extra healing potions, and some other. They still could stack with one another though, but in containers they're still in different stacks. Protection from Level Drain scrolls also don't stack above 5.

There are several infinite gold exploits, but all are cumbersome, all require selling a lot of stuff to the right merchant. If you want your gold issues solved, then use Shadowkeeper or gem drinking.
