I've got no modding experience whatsoever, other than using them. If this is entirely my fault, feel free to smack me.
Bug type: Fatal
Pertains to: Animate Dead (divine spell, cleric, level 3) (arcane spell, level 5)
Bug Description: Casting Animate Dead on a character who does not qualify for a Skeleton Warrior triggers a program freeze, which requires the game process be killed. The bug occurs when the spell finishes casting: if the caster summons a Skeleton Warrior, there is no error and the game continues. If the caster is not level 15, the game freezes immediately upon completion of the spell.
Technical Details:
Operating System: Windows XP SP3, running inside a VirtualBox VM.

Miscellany: This occurred on a solo game I was playing, as a berserker/cleric (I haven't played the game in about 6 months now, so I needed a refresher course). The bug occurred after I dual-classed from level 9 B and had reached level 6, as I was casting Animate Dead for the first time.
To rule out the possibility of a fluke, I dragged out the Lua REPL and gave myself a ludicrous amount of experience, which shot me to level 43. I summoned the warrior just fine. I reloaded, this time only giving enough XP to reach level 7 (the next level), and the same bug occurred. I reloaded, leveled to 10 (just enough to get my dual class back), recast; same crash. Finally, I leveled to 15, and got a skeleton warrior with no trouble.
I loaded into a different game to test the arcane version, and got identical results: if you get a warrior, no problems; if you don't, game crashes. I also tested it when cast from a scroll: a scroll will always cause a crash, whether the caster is level 1, 15, or 50. This seems logical, since scrolls cast at level 10.
As you can see from the log, I have a ton of third-party mods installed. I keep a clean, by-the-book, unpatched copy of BG2 around for purposes like this. I can install the fixpack alone on that copy if you need any further testing. Let me know if there's any information I've forgotten to include.
