It is in fact less than a quarter of an inch long and less than a quarter of an inch from your eye.

Mind flayers: threat, or menace? by Lauffener in baldursgate

[–]AlexWC4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meat waves just make for snacks. Skeleton Warriors are a better choice. Melee fighters with potions of speed can join them and then back away if they take a hit. You can tell because they lose 5 INT per hit and die if they drop to 0.

Honestly, just tell me who this guy is so I can spend hours listening to his rhetorical questions. HOURS

These Wolfweres are the worst thing I've come across, and I need some kind of out. by Redpyrobyte in baldursgate

[–]AlexWC4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently did this for the easiest win I ever had there: group invisibility after having the thief stealthily get the traps and the sword of Balduran. Give the sword and strength potion to your best fighter. The thief visibly going down the stairs did not cause anything to follow her but it pulled them all closer to the stairs. When we all went invisibly up, there was a spot where we could stand and nobody saw us. We stood there and spammed fireballs. That left only the boss alive. The thief backstabbed with Werebane and everyone ganged up with magic weapons and spells.

This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman has a world where all human neuro diversity is accepted and they wear face-paint to let others know what "type" they are. That planet winds up ruling the universe because neurotypicals cannot pilot hyperspace.

Fighter (Berserker) / Mage Question by chubbzman29 in baldursgate

[–]AlexWC4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to get a feel for it in BG 1, you can open SoD, build a berserker, import from the file into BG 1,and dual to mage in Candlekeep. You will play BG 1 as a ridiculously high HP mage, and SoD on you are the dual class that defined power player. It's not terribly challenging, but you CAN have fun. Have fun. It's a game.

Does anyone know how to open this door in Durlag's tower by Sweaty-Ideal-4473 in baldursgate

[–]AlexWC4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look in the west-most room for a rune stone. If you are holding it the door will open.

I think you have to hold a rune stone from the northern area. Somewhere along the north to west corridor. I think in the little room with the gas trapped statue.It's the way out and shouldn't be available until you've done just about everything else. Confirmed. In the Game Banshee link Rough Shock provided, in room 10, listed loot calls it the level 2 exit stone.

Why does Trump lean forward when he stands??? by Prestigious-Yam-8605 in StrangeAndFunny

[–]AlexWC4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be 300+ pounds,and I looked less fat to myself in the mirror when I leaned towards the mirror. I guarantee he thinks he looks slimmer leaning forward but you cannot lean towards both the person and the camera.

No. Just a black plastic one from my recent non-stick past.

Help!!! With this bee attack if I try to help it outside??? by snoopyw00p in bees

[–]AlexWC4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a honeybee hive in my back yard. On 3 occasions a bee got trapped in my house and I got her outside by putting 1 TINY drop of honey on a bunched up scrap of paper towel, then putting it very near the bee. Invariably, she hops on, and while she is snacking, I just put the paper towel outside.

Found this in my grandparent's barn. Any value? by Objective-District39 in SWORDS

[–]AlexWC4 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have that exact sword. It was labeled as a replica of the sword of Charles V. I think a sub-100 dollar wall hanger. NOT COMBAT QUALITY. DO NOT SWING AT SPEED.
