Line 41:
** Another bug can have you have an absurd amount of gems. You can use this bug to sell the gems as early as Chapter 2, making you filthy rich.
** Due to an oversight, multiclassed Ranger/Clerics receive ''all'' available priest spells instead of just the ones they're supposed to.
** Striking enemies with the Rod of Terror akaa.k.a. "The Ugly Stick" has a chance to lower your charisma permanently by one and can kill you via charisma drain. However, if you don the Ring of Human Influence, which sets one's charisma to exactly 18, when your charisma is one and then lose another point it causes the charisma stat to wrap back around from 1 to 25. Upon removing the ring, you're suddenly the most likable person in Faerun.
** Because of an error in the way Dual-Classing was coded, Yoshimo is able to set an infinite number of traps without resting. Since traps were already overpowered to begin with, this makes him, needless to say, [[Game Breaker|ridiculously powerful]].
** More than any other character, Haer'Dalis benefits from equipping the Ring of Free Action. Since powerful abilities that root the user to the spot (such as his defensive spin) were coded in the same way movement-restricting [[Standard Status Effect|status effects]] were, he can move around while in defensive spin if he's wearing it.
** In at least the first game, the Protection from Evil spell stacks, severely reducing the attack rolls of evil characters so they'll only have a 5% chance of hitting you if you cast enough of them. The problem? Protection from Evil should only work on, ya know, ''EVIL''-aligned characters, and even most freakin' ''Dungeons & Dragons'' newbs know that Drizzt is [[Chaotic Good]].
* [[Ho Yay]]: Particularly in the second game, there's a certain... subtext.. to the things Xzar says about Montaron despite his stated dislike for him.
* [[Internet Backdraft]]: Try to defend, or in some case even mention, the novels on an Infinity Engine fansite and see how far that gets you. This can reach levels of [[The Scottish Trope]] for some of the most reactive communities.
