Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2

Allessia is a cleric of Helm, the Watcher, the Vigilant One, deity of guardians and protectors. She is powerful in melee combat, can wear any armor, and can learn many defensive and bolstering spells.

Borador is a treasure-hunter, a particularly tough breed of rogue who adventures for the singular purpose of looting otherwise unclaimed wealth. He is a decent combatant who excels with a crossbow and has numerous "treasure-hunting" abilities.

Dorn is a massive, carousing, thrill-seeking barbarian from one of the many tribes that roams the plains of the Western Heartlands. He is an exceptional melee combatant who earns many powerful special attacks.

Vhaidra fled Menzoberranzan when her family fell under attack by a coalition of other noble houses, and now adventures to hone her already deadly martial skills. As a monk, Vhaidra is a quick, hard-hitting combatant who can learn a wide variety of special attacks and abilities.

Ysuran is a necromancer, a wizard specializing in the dark art of death magic, who wanders in search of his identity. He is a potent spell-caster who, despite his poor physical combat ability, can grow to become awesomely powerful.

Includes clubs, maces, morning stars. Bludgeons have a chance to stun enemies, briefly rendering them unable to attack or defend themselves. A character can earn up to a three-hit combination, with each additional attack in the sequence having an increased chance to stun the target.

Great weapons are so large and heavy that they must be wielded in two hands. Great weapons inflict much more damage than smaller hand weapons, but a character cannot use a shield with one.

Like their smaller variants, two-handed great swords have a higher chance of critically striking an opponent than other weapons. A character can earn up to a three-hit combination, with each additional attack in the sequence increasing the chance of a critical hit. In addition, the second and third attacks can strike additional enemies around the character's primary target, though they suffer reduced damage from the blow.

Like their smaller variants, two-handed great axes do not critically hit as often as swords, but inflict more damage when they do. A character can earn up to a three-hit combination; the second and third attacks in the sequence inflict extra damage in addition to the extra damage already inflicted by sequential attacks, while the third attack also inflicts extra critical hit damage. In addition, the final attack strikes all enemies in an arc before the character.

Like their smaller variants, two-handed great bludgeons (like warhammers) have a chance to stun opponents. A character can earn up to a three-hit combination, with each additional attack in the sequence having an increased chance of stunning the target. In addition, the final attack strikes all enemies in an arc before the character.

The gold piece value of the item.

Components are gems or precious stones used in the creation of magic items. A component's only attributes are its value and weight.

An item's quality refers to how well made it is. Higher quality armor protects better, higher quality weapons inflict more damage, and higher quality rings and amulets are worth more. Many damage bonuses also scale up with higher quality weapons.

An item's magical effects are the result of between one and three components-rune stones and gems used in the creation of that item. The number of rune stones and gems then determines just how powerful a particular effect is.
