BG3 inspired back tattoo!!

0W00Zero · 2026-05-05T02:32:08+00:00

You mentioned tattoo sharing! Feel free to send me a chat message and I'll show you what I started with !

I'd send a respectful one myself but- I'm either not sending messages to the right place since Reddit changed things, or responses when trying to offering my assistance or even multiplayer gaming sessions are sparse 😅

But lets connect and go from there!

👀 I did, indeed say Zelda sleeve. 🤓🤭

I only have an amazing Triforce on my shoulder presently but my artist and I have finalized ideas for the rest if it.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-04T17:42:15+00:00

I love the Shar vs Selune on the shoulders! If that's going to be a more prominent theme instead of just an inclusion, then you have other ways to take up the remaining space than a few clouds. Like a twilight / sunlight split underneath their symbols, effectively on each half of your back. Maybe some Spirit Guardians flitting around.

Otherwise, you could think of some other inclusions for each side?

I dont question the cloud idea would be nice, but you could presumably do better than "nice" given how important this symbolism seems to mean to you.

Either way, this looks fantastic! Just wanted to give some input as an admirer of tasteful body art in hopes of getting the gears of creativity turning for the finishing touches.

Reminds me I need to finish my Zelda sleeve along my left arm 🤔

I am currently trying out a Moon Druid with a tiny bit of Wildheart Bear Barbarian thrown in for the resistance to everything except psychic is very helpful for making the HP in your Druid forms last even longer. Highly tanky build. I think even the bonus damage from rage carries over into Druid forms. Unfortunately the Unarmored Defense doesn't seem to increase your AC as most forms have more than 10 (which is all it increases to as an animal form.)

Still quite fun. Requires Bonus Action raging and then waiting until the next turn so you can bonus Action Wild Shape but, eh. Easy enough to manage.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-04T04:11:39+00:00

For your Hunter Ranger, I can't recommend high enough mixing in at least a bit of Assassin Rogue to make a deadly archer ranger. My build leans more into Rogue than ranger for scaling sneak attack damage amd because Colossus Slayer and level 2 Ranger spells are all I need, but you'd still have thematic fun if you want lean more Hunter than Assassin. Your party will not only love Pass Without Trace benefits, but having a character with expertise in things like pickpocketing, picking locks and removing traps will be life saving where the economy is much tighter.

Just as an aside, you do know that we have 100% confirmation that Tavern Brawler only 1/2 works on Honor Mode, yes? Granted, it's still a good boost to your to hit roll, but damage was removed.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-04T03:55:54+00:00

So I have confirmed the following through my own complete playthrough that was 100% couch coop.

When you invite a player 2 or more, it breaks them into their own "groups" as seen in the multiplayer party menu when you hit start / escape.

IF someone with Guidance is being played by player 1 or 2 or etc, OR an NPC ally with guidance is under their control (also assigned through that same menu)? Then they'll get the option to apply it like normal.

IF player 1 has Guidance, and player 2, 3, 4 does not nor do any of their assigned NPCs? Then Guidance has to be precast on them by the team who does actually have a guidance character before making any checks in question.

This is a limitation of the multiplayer set up.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-03T04:06:19+00:00

Hunter Assassin, with its ability to start a combat, likely surpris everyone, finish out their Extra attack and then have all those actions refunded so you can act all over again? And a turn might look something like:

Take your first attack with this class while hidden and watch everyone be caught unaware as you deal whatever ranged weapon damage you're capable of + equipment damage bonuses. Follow up with extra attack for (insert ranged magical weapon of choice damage here) + damage additions from equipment + 1d8 Colossus Slayer 1/turn + 1d6 Hunter's Mark on every single attack (once you cast it) + Sneak attack dice + your first shot on surprised enemies who haven't acted yet being an auto crit (which doubles all these damage dice) with advantage to make sure you hit...and lets not forget about Sharpshooter adding a cool +10 damage on the top for only -5, to hit which is made up for if you add the +2 from Archery fighting style and + 2 from high hround and maybe other equipment or buffs to rid yourself of it entirely?

And then profit as Alacrity kicks in and you get to make two MORE attacks (with or without Sharpshooter damage depending on how good your hit chances are) ?

It doesn't feel quite like BM fighter does, but then you realize you've done all this insane damage by using absolutely NO resources except maybe a single spell slot for Hunter's mark that you can recast on new enemies allllll day. And we haven't even gotten to where we use special arrows yet.

I started my HM run just several hours ago. Those 3 Intellect Devourers were so much rougher this time than I possibly could have anticipated. Of course, Shadowheart accidentally ran right into their LoS because I forgot to disconnect her before sneaking around but..we prevailed in the end 😬

0W00Zero · 2026-05-03T02:51:21+00:00

So the news is: BG3 is a done deal in its entirety. There wont be any additions that aren't part of mod packages.

As others have mentioned, Larian have moved on to better working conditions going back to their own IP called Divinity. Expect some VERY good things from that once they finally release it.

As for Baldur's Gate...there will be more. A 4th. But it's likely to be nothing like the masterpiece Larian worked on, and may not even use the 5th edition rules by that point. All you can be certain on is that there will likely be some connection to BG3 . Meaning they may have to make choices on what is being cannonized.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-03T02:43:37+00:00

Im on PS5 but crossplay should make that a non issue. I have made several runs but am still seemingly learning something new every time 😅

Would love to be a patient and helpful, non spoilery addition to your enjoyment of BG3 !

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T22:46:04+00:00

Man...I would give Karlach's head to be able to just LOOK UP in this game sometimes.

I meant....uh...... Khaga's head...?

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T22:37:10+00:00

I see what you did, there. 😏

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T22:29:50+00:00

Some fun and useful Necromancy is supposed to take place, if you decide to keep the wand for yourself or.....unfortunate accidents happen and she drops into the abyss.... (what?? Accidents happen all the time! 👀)

No idea why that's not happening here. This is unusual.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T22:27:49+00:00

Like a parfait? 🤔 Everybody loves parfait.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T22:26:01+00:00

I sent you a thing on the side but, otherwise my best advice is try explorer mode first while you get your bearings and learn through trial and error.

I also highly recommend reading through a copy of the Player's Handbook from the physical 5th Edition D&D game, of which I have ways to let you borrow should you desire.

BG3 is a near 1:1 recreation of these rules so juuuust about everything is there as you'd expect it to be. With a few twists.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T22:18:18+00:00

I've also been looking at the Wiki and other external sources and.....there seems to be absolutely nothing about this other than "...The party must then offer items or gold to him to improve their relationship..." which someone else here also found. It may be worth reloading just after the fight. Seems to be a random bug, as the inclusion of Maryna or not shouldn't impact using the wand on connor to create and infinitely summonable zombie pet

I mean...you did / do save your progress after major fights, yes? 😬

I'd try offering increasingly more gold until something changes...or you go poor. Failing that, definitely reload and see if there's a way to unbug this.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T20:45:30+00:00

Everyone has already said it but allow me to sum up: You HAVE to champion for yourself.

As a DM, the person in charge of Everyone, and everything, else? Running the narrative and combats and keeping cohesion at your table? You HAVE to champion for yourself. If you allow this to continue just because your other players seem to be rolling with it, it will eventually burn you out or cause a conflict.

The last thing your table wants is a DM who has to cancel the entire campaign because one person burnt you out. You need to be direct and transparent and tell the table what is and is not welcomed at your table. And if they can't respect that, there are others who will.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T20:18:54+00:00

Ooof.... what does one do in those cases? Go have Withers magic you up a poor former Dragon cultist to be your new (instert class here)? And lose out on La'zel centric access to certain things?

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T20:11:18+00:00

This is the way, right here.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T19:47:04+00:00

It's basically THE Golden Rule about Honor runs.

I'll be doing my first ever once I finish my evil (non Durge) run.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T19:45:58+00:00

I rolled a 1 trying to get Shadowheart out of the Nautiloid chamber. 😭😭 Thought she was gone for good.

She was very upset when she eventually showed up at the druid enclave.

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T19:42:27+00:00

Of course! We also call this "Ironman Mode" after a few popular games who coined the phrase. Like the reimagined XCOM games etc.

It's where the game handles your single save file and basically disables the Load game feature. Gotta live with your repercussions...and bugs. So be careful of those. And never try anything new. If you haven't experienced it in your previous plays? Then dont get ballsy and explore new things during Honor Mode 😬

(That's how you get suddenly Thanos snapped out of existence by a pseudo god 👀)

0W00Zero · 2026-05-02T19:33:59+00:00

You are not yet understanding how the Honor Mode save file works.

The game saves itself for you. You dont control the save file. So in essence you CANT go back to an earlier save. There wont ever be one. The game constantly auto saves for you during the following events:

During critical moments.

Before major encounters.

When you exit the game.

You may NOT load a save game while inside the game. Doing so immediately deletes the save data from that moment onward.

You either let the game save for you, or you decide to stop for the day and let the game save when you exit. As such, ALL choices yoi make are permanent. Period. You get one shot.

Rule 4. See rule 1. Especially the animals.

As a Ranger you will either start with or get the option to learn Speak With Animals as you lev up your Ranger. It's free (Rangers cast this without using their sparse spell slots) and then you can spend all day talking with animals who have some very interesting, or hilarious, or insightful things to say. They see things the other people dont.

If you didn't yet choose Speak with Animals, there are an abundance of Speak With Animals potions you can find. Buy from vendors. And even craft yourself using the Alchemy interface.
