Notes[]

  • Handling of the equipped shortbow is different by game edition:
    • Baldur's Gate GTRBPSK Icon BG1Baldur's Gate (1998)
      This icon indicates content from the original Baldur's Gate campaign.       The equipped (and dropped) weapon is a regular shortbow.
    • Baldur's Gate LOGOBG00001 Icon SoDBaldur's Gate:
      Enhanced Edition             (2012)
      This icon indicates content from the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition campaign.       The equipped weapon is a non-droppable, specific version of a shortbow, though without any differences in stats; it appears as a longbow, however. The regular shortbow is moved to a normal inventory slot and cannot be stolen, but will drop on death.
  • In the original game, sirines have no race defined. This is changed by the Enhanced Edition where they count as fairies.

Scripts[]

Trivia[]

  • The offical website for the original game, now archived, had – in addition to some combat-related statistics – the following information about these fairies:[4]

    Sirines are beautiful, human-like, at home in any aquatic environment. They have human skin tones ranging to a light yellow green, and their hair can be almost any color, though silver and dark green are the most common. Sirines have beautiful figures and wear scanty clothing at best.

    The size was given with five to six feet tall.

Cut content[]

  • The sirines' melee attack item has the code SIRINE1.itm. There exists also an item in the game files since the original release, named SIRINE.itm, which is, however, unused. It has almost the same abilities as the used attack, but the status effects it applies are different: instead of confusing the victim, it causes feeblemindedness in addition to the intelligence drop – a spell, only introduced by the original expansion, Tales of the Sword Coast. Also, the effects last double the time: 300 seconds or 50 rounds/5 turns. Though the Enhanced Edition has replaced the intelligence modifying effect of the original game's item in use with feeblemindedness, the item still exists in its game files – and is still unused.
