Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn & Throne of Bhaal & Enhanced Edition[]

Usage notes[]

  • In the Enhanced Edition, the in-game description is incorrect, as it's possible to summon up to three creatures with a single cast of this spell.
  • The summoning of kobolds is quite inconsistent between the various games and editions: while the original Baldur's Gate used a variant of regular Kobolds, this was changed to a more and simultaneously less powerful variant of the Kobold Commando in Baldur's Gate II – more powerful in terms of creature stats, less powerful by being equipped with two Arrows of Fire only. The Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition even robbed them off these last two, leaving only twenty standard Arrows for them to fight with.
