    [​IMG] Im a lawful evil sorcerer so i got an imp with polymorph self spell. The thing is that i used the spell and turned the imp to a ogre. When the battle was over i put it in my pack pack still as a ogre. And now it has been in that shape for a couple of days of gametime. It cannot change back to its original form! I have tried almost everything but it stays a ogre.


    A minor note you guys say that you have to fight all the cowled wizard after eachother it wasnt so for me i used a spell and a couple showed up i killed them and that was that. A few days later i used another spell to kill som thughs and some more cowled wizards showed up. When they do that they are way to easy.

    I have no idea... I would suggest to try using the dispell magic spell. I never used a shape-shifting familliar, so I can't help much :(

    I could use dispel magic but then i would risk dispelling both mine and Edwins contingencys and secquencers. It shouldnt be like that if you use an dispel magic spell in combat you dispel your own stoneskins and stuff.

    I haven't encountered a problem like that but if you find no other solution try using Shadowkeeper to remove the familiar from your inventory (no constitution point loss ;)) and then cast the Find Familiar spell again to get a new imp.
    I don't know if this is too much cheating for you but it's a way.

    Someone had a similar problem to this but in their case it was the main character. They did eventualy solve the problem. Take a look at their posts to see what they did and other general hints that might help you. Good luck.

    Similer thing happen to my main character in BG1, I never manage ot recover from that spell (even with disspell magic). I have to reload and go through another 1 hour of game play.

    [​IMG] shadowkeeper it is then. But damn all games are buggy even a great game like this. I shudder to think of the games that the game magazines call too buggy to play =)
