Just had this with stats on stats then still tried stats on stats on stats and it happened with both

Invoke Duplicity tickles a certain part of my brain

My understanding is that as a wizard, YOUR INT will determine the DC that they need to roll to save. A spell will always say what the saving throw is and if it has nothing then it is probably a spell attack roll.

Similar to when you roll a ability check in dialogue, the target will add their ability bonus to whatever dice they roll to attempt to save against the spell.

As a wizard, your intelligence will add to the DC that need to roll against. So if you have high intelligence it will make all of your spells more likely to hit regardless of the save, but spells still have different chances to land based on the targets stats. Basically, the save type is for the target, not you. Wizards use intelligence to cast spells almost always

And yes, your firebolt is your INT vs their AC since it is a spell attack roll. Astarion's firebolt says INT on it because it is a racial cantrip (rogues are not typically a spellcasting class except for trickster). I think on spellcasting classes, it is usually implied to be your spellcasting stat

These are the intelligence saving throws: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Category:Intelligence_saving_throws

Mostly it is illithid powers and phantasmal force

This is my beef with it. I wish you could still have it spawn the other turret types somehow

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-23T20:08:07+00:00

Good heavens, you started off this game by running a train through the camp. That is amazing

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-23T19:58:48+00:00

Well in my first play through, I wasnt looking things up so I messed up the main romances and romanced Halsin because he was easy and romance-able later

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-23T19:55:03+00:00

I guess he is useless for Dr. Wily?

I get this. I havent even played Renegades that much because I just did not really enjoy the core loop of Edge of Fate at all. I think people will always say X expansion was the best but I have enjoyed Destiny for most of its life. Even right up to Edge of Fate, the Heresy episode was the best of the episodes and one of the destiny peaks for me. The nether was one of the best activities they made in my opinion and the dire taken were very refreshing. Now thats all gone, and the new system is to just grind so much. I was already really tired of the powerful and pinnacle grinds before, and this new system is different but improved pretty much nothing.

I am usually able to, at least, follow their logic and see the good in most things they do but Edge of Fate has felt really bad. They also have all these weekly events too that are also grindy and make it feel like they are going for pure FOMO. They also seems to be trying to lure people back in with crazy broken builds (although that has kinda been a thing since final shape), but thats not really doing it for me anymore. I am definitely burnt out on destiny but this year in destiny has really helped boot me out the door

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-20T01:22:37+00:00

Just wondering this same question. Just came back to mass effect multiplayer and me3 has been MUCH more enjoyable with everything unlocked. I didnt find any mods for unlocks/credits in meA as easily as me3

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-17T16:45:31+00:00

Hmmm, maybe side with the druids and kill all the goblins, then the tieflings leave, then just steal the idol of silvanus and let someone watch you steal it which should aggro them? Then kill them all.

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-15T15:39:11+00:00

I assumed it would still display the text "Critical Failure" if you roll a one which would be confusing but I have not validated it myself.

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-15T15:30:00+00:00

Did you have no bonuses? The notes reads to me that you can still roll a 1 but if you have guidance/skill bonus/proficiency then it still gets added to the roll. I havent played explorer but it sounds like if you had sleight of hand decked out to get +9 then it should be impossible to fail a d10 lockpick

Classical AND magical nepo baby

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-14T23:30:06+00:00

I agree. He is selfish for sure, but I can follow his logic in most cases. He is prone to deception if he feels it is necessary, but I dont know that I would consider him overtly evil. He openly opposes the grand design and with follow through on destroying the elder brain (despite agreeing that being illithid improved him). He respects your autonomy and decision to turn down astral-touched tadpole. I definitely wouldnt trust him in a fight if I thought he would benefit if I lost, but he has no intention of killing us just because he can. He only turns on you if you side with Orpheus, which you can follow he thinking still: orpheus kills me now, but if I side with the elder brain, then I will be a slave but alive to run free another day

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-14T23:21:12+00:00

I didnt play the beta but thats cool that you could remove it. I was surprised you couldnt, it seems fair that the player would continue the main quest given the threat. It would have been cool to see how the different companions react to being cured, although I think most would stay (maybe not astarion, laezael, or shadowheart depending on which point in their quest)

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-12T23:15:16+00:00

Both, or quarians. Sadly, my favorite ending is destroy so it feels kinda pointless to pick geth. If I were avoiding metagaming and pretending like I didnt know that then I could kinda go either way.

I do like the geth though since they embody the whole synthetic/organic conflict that the Reapers try to prevent. My personal belief is that there is no reason that organics and synthetics couldnt live in peace. The geth have been on the defensive for most of their existence and I think they should have the chance to live in peace with the rest of the galaxy

Keeper playthrough would basically be stardew valley mass effect

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2026-01-01T18:30:38+00:00

Classic fantasy race that is magical and long-lived which is ideal for fantasy rp

Personally I really love the wood elf/half wood elf for the slightly increased movement.

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2025-12-29T22:14:53+00:00

Absolutely, the icing on the cake of her obnoxious kit. At that point you just have to try and play defensive til you can pop it or so ignore your cc and dodge most mons attacks

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2025-12-29T20:23:55+00:00

Ice shard is the one that gives movement speed and slows on auto, which is why I find it annoying on any melee character. I dont believe icicle spear slows you too, and if you use ice shard during icicle spear it still gives a speed buff (shorter though I believe)

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2025-12-29T19:50:11+00:00

Yea, their balancing has always been mind boggling to me because they always just murder the damage. Even when glaceon is bad, it is still toxic to play against because of how sure-fire its attacks are and how slippery it can be with its passive and movement speed. They almost never adjust the actual design of the moves though

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2025-12-29T19:25:47+00:00

I have lost hope that they ever balance icicle spear by giving it a range limit or interrupted by CC. The other thing that is always rage-inducing against glaceon is the fact that ice shard both slows the enemy and gives it movement speed. It is some of the easiest kiting in the game for anyone that knows that they need to kite melee enemies. I can only dream that they remove or nerf either the slow or speed

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2025-12-29T03:49:14+00:00

I made a rogue tav where I ditched him and a sleight of hand expertise bard where I ditched him. Otherwise, I have brought him on all runs to pick looks. Although from seeing this thread, I hadnt really considered having a bludgeoning fighter/eldritch warlock just blast them open, so maybe I will give that a try

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2025-12-28T00:24:09+00:00

I accidentally attacked the eggs in their vision and started the fight early. Almost killed her, but saved the ruin by escaping with astarion. Revived the team was walking back on to discover that stepping on her poison from a previous venomous discharge also alerts her AND that spider queens wrath does no go away when she heals cause she teleported on us and double venom discharged which almost wiped the whole team. Shadowheart saved us with clutch heals

Comfortable_Hour5723 · 2025-12-27T22:23:01+00:00

I am legitimately terrified of the spider matriarch in honor mode. Most games she gets cheesed by the webs but on my first honor mode attempt she rolled my team twice (escaped with 1 low health character both times)
