    [​IMG] Hey! I'm currently going through ToB for the 2nd time, and I've completed the Yaga Shura quest and in Watchers Keep right now.

    As my party was in the 2nd Level of the Dungeon (the Chromatic Demon level) I had Immy scoutin' for traps, and my PC right beside her with everyone else a few feet behind.

    All of a sudden, a random dialogue occured between Immy and my PC, and she was talkin' about how she's been having wierd dreams lately. I was replying comfortable words back to her, and at the end of the dialogue, we both gained 1000 xp and she gained two special abilites, one being a basic healing spell and the other was Larloch's Minor Drain.

    A couple minutes later, I was surfin through her stats as I have a 19 STR belt on her, and I noticed that her Dexterity rose 1 point so now she's at a natural 19 DEX also! It's in white and that means natural!

    I believe she also leveled-up sometime after that, because her two new-found special abilities are now a Cure Serious Wounds and a Cause Serious Wounds! That's a 3 level jump in spell ability! (Larloch's is only level 1 and those new spells are level 4)

    I've done a little search on this site, and didn't notice anyone ever talking about Immy's special ability, so I wanna ask all of you, have any of you experienced what I've typed? Because I didn't experience this in my first time through ToB!

    I seem to remember that happening to me yeah. At least I know it's possible. She also has a random dialogue about it with ... Aerie (? I think?) in which she tells of her murderous nightly urges for ginger cookies. Quite funny, I'd say, it makes me stronger in my Immy-support. :)

    It's part of the Ascension mod. Imoen will eventually be able to transform into the Slayer which will make her lethal in melee.

    I don't think that dialogue is necessarily random. She does tell you about changes (feeling stronger and seems to move quicker) and that she has developed Bhaal-like powers. IIRC, she also says that those powers are just minor things and some are the kind that only priests can do.

    Those spell abilities are not caused by leveling up -- they're caused because they are part of her being a Bhaal-child. The PC also has abilities similar to those, but loses them once they get the ability to change into the Slayer. Those abilities, too, are not caused by an increase in levels.

    The PC gets special abilities with Ascension as well. I can't remember them all but one gives immunity to Time Stop (worth its weight in gold for fighting Melissan) and another blasts the enemy with fire and lightning.

    It's just like in BG1 when you have the dreams and start developing the same powers.

    Imoens beginning to feel the power.

    The dialogue with Aerie about it funny.

    Imoens strenght and dexterity increase by one point if I am not mistaken. Her Bhaalpowers were cause serious wounds and heal serious wounds for me. But its not part of Ascension. This happened without that particular mod. :)

    It's a part of the original game. For some reason, it sometimes appears and sometimes it does not. Depends on I don't know what.

    In the original game it's completely random, just like Sarevok's alignment change. But in Ascension David Gaider put a timer on them, so they should happen pretty quick. Sarevok's alignment change should happen shortly after the battle with Yaga-Shura. I forget when Immy's happens.
