I remember that one. My poor character exploded into bloody chunks time after time after time. I didn't know anything about AD&D at the time. I'd never played anything like Baldur's Gate before. I'm dyslexic and I - still - have lots of trouble with all the stats and jargon. That assassin was the point where my younger self said "Forget it!" and began cheating.
