Yea, but you sell 1000 items for every 1 you buy

Thank you, that clarifies things. Good improvements, saves me from having to run around in circles trying to find a merchant that pays well.

1. The scimatar says she has been marked for death but they are WAITING on it for the right time. So if you go and murder her on your own earlier you are jumping the gun as it could disrupt their plans. 2. You should aid kyass regardless. After you finish his quest lines you can take a hit on him from someone in the castle. And this way you are paid by both kyass AND thantria for doing the same thing (before taking him out of course... personally I let him live). Kyass does try to bully the scimatar's town though, probably why thantria wanted to help them. But so far they ignore him 3. IIRC she just dropped 1 meh shawl valued at 4000 gold (so, sold for much less of course). 4. Her outright harmful to scimatar quests are the last 3 quests. To give her (and remove from avernum) 2 magical tomes (2 separate quests), and then to betray the scimatar's route to the surface. You can give the tomes to either the people of avenrum (rita in patricks tower) or kyass freehold

Not killing friendlies is obvious... But there are some times where they go hostile due to you going somewhere or have a quest to kill them. I am nearly done with the game and so far the only cases which I found are: Kyass: Gives out quest chain, but there is also a quest to "drive him out" and you can tress-pass in his quarters which makes his guards hostile (although I haven't verified it makes him hostile too). Dragons: All except pyrog should not be killed until you finish other quests, as they are needed for various quests, including main ones (and honestly I am not killing the other 4). Thantria: Do as much of her quests as you are willing before (and if) killing her. Pyrogs spellbook / Drath's knowledge: Multiple people give you a quest for those, so choose wisely and be aware it will fail for those you don't give it to. Oh, and obviously, if you are caught stealing and a town goes hostile you lose all quests there, but then... don't get caught!

Some walkthrough I came across online was discussing how some merchants "pay a good price" for things you sell, but as far as I can tell every merchant pays the same. So, is sell price fixed or does it vary between merchants?

I have a level a fighter with 40 (+7) strength who just reached level 30, putting the point into strength makes it disappear (if 40 is the cap then it should not allow the point to be spent on it).

He could have just made a copy of the drake template only with the name "baby dragons" or some such... Also, if she did had babies then all the people, including the other dragons, are incorrect in saying there are only 5 dragons in the caves. IIRC some of the other dragons know she had children but still say there are only 5 dragons...

Thank you. My spellcraft is well below 10 for all characters, even thouth I have some with mage/priest spells at over 20. I will max out spellcraft before putting in any more points.

There are 5 dragons. There are hundreds of drakes. Sulferas' greeter calls her a drake. (either an insult, or indicating they are the same thing) Athron had baby drakes. (indicating drakes are baby dragons) The chasm drake is said to be "as big as a dragon" (indicating drakes are not dragon) there are probably more inconsistencies there, I am really confused as to whether drakes are baby dragons or something else.

by how much does it increase it? spellcraft gives me +2%, does it give me more? less? the same?

I noticed that the highest level spell is level 17, do you get anything from raising these two skills further? if so, what do you get? Is there a cap to those skills?

Thank you.

Awesome, thank you. Are there any conflicting quests between the Scimatar and Thantria?

How far can I get into each of the 3 ending's quests before I block the others? I am rather a completionist but I would hate to get locked out of the endings I actually want because I went too far down the wrong path.

Thanks for clarifying. Do the goblin diggers ever uncover something interesting if left to their own devices long enough? Is there a list of quests that CAN be spoiled by killing the target too early?
