    "this spell ages the recipient by one year" Does this have any effect? Should I limit the use of this spell because of that?

    I never noticed any game play difference.. I usually played as an elf, their lifespans are so long that the number of times I used the spell would make no difference...

    OTOH, it might make a difference for humans - however, I am not sure if this "age effect" was acutally implemented in BG1 - I don't think it was.

    [​IMG] In other words, if it takes you most of your lifetime beating the game, then you are slow.

    In that case, anyone ever taken more than 365 days to beat BG1 (in-game time)? :p

    Heh, no, not that long...I got addicted the first time I played it so it only took 3 or 4 weeks. Others are addicted to alcohol, some are addicted to cocaine, but not me. I'm addicted to Baldurs Gate!

    The aging effect of this spell is not included in BG, for the factor Age is not used in the whole BG games.

    I also like to play but after a while there is nothing more too do in the area's so then I have to complete the game and start again :)

    But I do like to sleep so maybe that causes the long time I play in the game.... In BG I'm act like a real student; drink beer and sleep is the most favorit thing :)
