    Ashes of Embers is a collection of features originally intended as
    components of the Embers of Empires mod. Due to time constraints EoE
    has been put on hold, but the completed features have been released as
    a stand-alone package for BGII. It includes:

    - Universal weapons for all classes
    It doesn't make much sense that a cleric can't use a sword in
    combat, and a mage with 17 strength couldn't wield a two-handed
    sword.
    Strength and Dexterity requirements have been modified for all
    weapons.
    Two added weapons; Katars and Bolas, using the dagger and sling
    proficiencies.
    Spears can now be thrown.

    - 7 added kits
    This includes six of the nine cleric kits for the deities of EoE,
    and a fighter kit called the Pit Fighter.
    NOTE: Armour restrictions for the clerics have not yet been
    implemented.

    - Human multi-classes
    With this feature you can either dual-class your human character
    as normal, or choose to be multi-classed via kit selection.

    - Added Armour
    Scale Mail, Banded Mail, and Field Plate have all been added.
    You will find a merchant who sells them in Waukeen's Promenade,
    near the Ore Merchant.

    - Two tweaked spells
    Both Ironskin and Stoneskin are extremely cheesy and piss me off.
    They have been nerfed to have a far shorter duration.

    - Wizard Slayer enhancement
    Wizard Slayers will now have an 8% base MR, with a +4% Magic
    Resistance bonus per level. A level 3 Wizard Slayer would have
    16% MR, for example.

    You can get it here: http://www.forgottenwars.net/?page=mods/ashes

    It's a 603kb download, so it's friendly for those of you without broadband.

    My Twinkle (Drizzt's Defender +5) can only be used by elves, could this be a bug in the mod?

    The only problem I have so far is that Keldorn cant use Holy Avenger

    Other things are great though (especially the Wizard Slayer :) )
