bike tory posted:Ok so in SOD I took out the crusader camp at Boarskyr Bridge pretty easily, but the bridge bit was such bullshit. The mage has PfMW, Stoneskin and Minor Globe of Invulnerability up and youve got less than two rounds kill him without using stealth because apparently he can see through it. I cheesed it by tossing well aimed fireballs from offscreen but was there something I'm missing there? Is there actually a way to defeat the seemingly never ending waves of fire type bullshit? Or is there an easier way to take down the mage? I think the Mage starts invisible so whoever isn't casting Breach might need to throw in a Detect Invisibility. e: Although that would require bringing down the Minor Globe as well, at which point you also need another Mage/Bard to do that. Alternatively, if you've got Jaheira (or potentially M'Khiin depending on what spells she knows), Insect Plague can take care of it as well and will go through everything. So would dropping a Cloudkill. Wizard Styles fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Apr 25, 2018 |

Wizard Styles posted:I don't know what your party looks like but by the time you're done with Bridgefort you should have someone that can cast Breach. That will take down everything but the Minor Globe, which doesn't matter on its own. Her casting also seemed uninterruptible from what I could tell, I took down the protections easily enough.

I looked at her files just now and from wat I can see even on Core Rules and above she should have Protection from Normal, not Magical Weapons and no precast Stoneskin. And while the summoning spell doesn't require memorization it should be interruptible.

Knights of Solamnia? In MY Forgotten Realms game? What is this black magickry? Seriously, the Dragonlance books were my first introduction to D&D fiction so I always considered that (for me) to be the "original" D&D setting. Disregarding the terrible Dragonlance games, I'm tickled by the reference to the Dragonlance setting where I least expected it. Yeah, I'm in the planar sphere. I booted Yoshimo to include Valygar in my party. Jan is a good enough thief for me and I don't trust Yoshimo's constant attempts to get me to talk about my backstory.

Cythereal posted:Those cannibal halflings are from Dark Sun. That's crazy. I just picked up the dark sun games on gog recently and from what little I have played of the first one its pretty fun and the setting is way cool. P dated though, but I went into it with that expectation. Planear sphere is such a cool stronghold. Wish that some of the others got as much love, but hey... Wizards right?

Now that I've got access to level five spells the shaman is even better. Having situationally available res, insect plague and true sight is just amazing, especially in Dragonspear where it seems like every second pack of enemies has a couple of backstabby stealthers as well as 1 or 2 casters. Also strongly recommend taking at least three strong AoE-capable characters in SOD with the size of the enemy packs. Most of the trash mobs come in 10-15 strong groups.

i'm finally playing the hidden secret infinity engine game not listed in the thread title icewind dale 2 going as a duo sorcerer / cleric, midway through chapter 1 so far. -this game is going to be extremely combat heavy isn't it, just like IWD1 -The part on the palisades with the dead cat is amazing you find a dead cat in a warehouse and can pick it up. later, a soldier tells you how he had a cat kill all the rats and:  -This game would really benefit from a UI / QOL overhaul, some of it is a bit rough coming off the EE's

Make sure to keep any dead animals and/or people you find. There more dialogue like that to be had. edit: You might also want to use these: Widescreen mod - http://www.gibberlings3.net/widescreen/ Interface for widescreen (english at bottom of page) - http://havredest.eklablog.fr/interfaces-pour-widescreen-a42876917

Having it installed causes the goblin shaman's second trigger to not happen at the end of the prologue. It took me a while of uninstalling mods one at a time to figure out that widescreen was the culprit. I had to install the game without it, finish the prologue and then re-install again with it to go on.

I see this huge map but I can't find much info about it and won't bother even playing BG1 if I can't see anything new.

I've never played with that before either. I am really bad at BG though so I look forward to the sweet release of death at the hands of new and old poo poo.

I came across an xp exploit today while messing around with f/m solo in bg1 my go-to xp early on is usually 'cast immunity to petrification' -> kill basilisks, but I wanted to see if I could charm one and make it do my job for me at level 2. the problem with charming a basilisk is they aren't immune to petrification themselves, which is easily solved by casting immunity on it. at first i just wanted it to act like a meatshield and soak melee blows because i'm a weak slinger, but then it petrified a greater basilisk and I got 7000 experience. Hold on a second, it wasn't dead. I reloaded a save where I didn't use a stone to flesh on the lady in the north, and used it on a petrified basilisk. the friendly basilisk petrified it again and I got more xp. stone to flesh scrolls are like 170 gold each. the temple sells 19 of them I think. at some point i realized if you click the friendly basilisk out of melee range it will force its petrification attack, so just blind the basilisk or run in a circle kiting it and enjoy 130000 xp at level 2. yes you can just shadowkeeper the experience, yes it breaks the game, no I don't give a gently caress it was fun

Bg1 doesn't throw xp at you like bg2 does so maybe this would be useful if you're a bit underleveled. Or if you want to be a living god Pro tips use algernon cloak and maybe blind, at one point the greater basilisk bugged out and just sat there in petrification purgatory while I racked up xp

Solo characters tend to swim in XP though. It would be more useful for full parties, I suppose, especially if you want to rush through the main story while skipping most of the side content.
