Karoug the Geater Werewolf can be hit by +1 weapons?

[PetrusOctavianus]

So I just faced Karoug on the Werewolf Island, and he was much weaker than I remember.

First he was damaged and Blinded by a Holy Smite (may have been pure luck, though), then Jaheira was able to hit him with a +1 Quartestaff. I thought he was supposed to only be vulnerable to +3 or better weapons?

Anyway Imoen for once was lucky with her backstabbing and with her +3 Short Sword chunked him for 80 damage.

 

I'm not sure which CRE he really is (he appears as "Greater Werewolf" when battle is joined), so...

Selaad Gan worked properly, though. Could only be hurt by Werebane and a few other special weapons ("cold iron"?), while Short Sword +3 and my Cleric of Helm's +4 sword special ability was ineffective.

Yeah, the Selaad Gan's are probably what you remembered... the greater werewolves are really not a challenge within the stage you should be at during the end portion of the BG1 -stage.

The weapons need to be flagged as silver to actually be able to hit them... but the BGT-weidu at least scrambles the weapon flags quite badly and it's really not by design, but by principle... so most if not all special weapons have way more flags than they ought to. Don't know about the EET, but the BG2EE has likely the same fault.
