SIMULACRUM: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2

Simulacrum BG2

Simulacrum is a BG2 Best Spell of Illusion spells BG2 type in BioWare's cRPG of 1998-2001, Baldur's Gate 2.

While Project Image suffices for Mage BG2 and Sorcerer BG2, Simulacrum is better for Fighter Mage BG2 because it allows us to make physical attacks.

Simulacrum is a god-tier spell.

Note that Restoration [item code: RESTORE] un-nerfs the sim to full power level, but the exploit is removed by BG2 Fixpack.

Vhailor's Helm offers a weaker version of the spell as a special ability.
