the Sorceress cannot use weapons that require more than one hand,

HEROES OF BALDUR'S GATE
Before you can begin playing Baldur’s Gate:
Dark Alliance, you’ll need to choose which
character you want to play. You’ll be able to
choose from three characters: Vahn, the
Arcane Archer, Kromlech, the Dwarven
Fighter, and Adrianna, the Elven Sorceress.
Vahn, the Arcane Archer
Arcane Archers are archers known for their
supernatural accuracy with a bow and the
ability to imbue their arrows with magic. A
fusion of skill and innate magical ability has
turned them into fearsome and respected
warriors. A good character for taking down
opponents from a distance, the Arcane Archer
employs a number of magical powers related to
his archery skills, including the ability to
enchant arrows with magical accuracy, create
fire arrows, exploding arrows, and even fire off
several arrows at once.
Kromlech, the Dwarven Fighter
The youngest of the Bruenghor Clan in the
Sunset Mountains, this gruff and opinionated
dwarf is a fearsome warrior – tough, strong,
and devastating in combat when wielding
melee weapons. A good character for hand-to-
hand combat and sheer toughness, the dwarf
also has access to a number of specialized
fighting feats unavailable to the Arcane Archer
and the Sorceress.
Adrianna, the Elven Sorceress
A strikingly beautiful female elf with exotic
features, the elven sorceress can create magic
the way a poet creates poems, by drawing on
the raw power within themselves... and
unleashing it with devastating effects. The
sorceress has the ability to cast spells, an ability
unavailable to the Dwarven Fighter or the
Arcane Archer, and she has a number of
