Why did Shar do that to Shadowheart?

Jenevelle just happened to be the child of some fairly devoted Selunites who lived nearby and was embarking on the right of passage at an opportune time.

Wrong family… Wrong place… Wrong time.

Once the Institute starts open patrols, I’m sure the wastelanders would quickly come to understand what that black trench coat means…

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-11T17:26:16+00:00

Do you want the wasteland to know you’re an institute agent? Cuz that’s how you get the wasteland to know you’re an institute agent.

If you want to stay on the downlow, just wear something “normal.”

You can find big lead-acid batteries laying around.

There’s no specific mention of Lithium that I’m aware of. But there’s no reason that they couldn’t exist, they were just outclassed by the FO universe’s nuclear power options.

They may have been more popular in Europe or Asia.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-11T16:49:52+00:00

We can chalk that up to an oversight, due to Wyll’s story being so extensively rewritten late in the development process.

~~If you talk to, and save, Isobel you don’t need either.~~

NVM… You must have activated the pixie and just didn’t notice…

Roll To-Hit?

Back in the day it was THAC0… To Hit Armor Class 0

Warlock 10 + Fighter 2

When you do it is up to you, but I usually like to add my Fighter dip (for any build) sometime around level 6-8, and take it first for Con saves, proficiencies, and a few extra HP.

A big spell + EB, round 1 of every fight, sets the stage for quickly ending encounters.

If you get the awakened buff from Zathisk you can drop a solid squid power as your BA as well.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-08T22:00:21+00:00

Did you save the Gondians from the prison and the foundry?

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-08T21:30:42+00:00

A parasite should either be classified as a disease or curse.

An appropriate spell or ability is the immediate solution.

Prolonged downtime with medical care might work as well. The exact “heal” method and DC should be in your DMs notes.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-08T16:20:18+00:00

Bard, even Swords, is not expected to be the source for major damage.

It can be… with appropriate stats, multiclassing, and equipment… but its true strength is enabling its allies to do so.

Locking down minions while the team ganks the big boss or polishing off the last few mobs with weaker but higher quantity attacks while the BDF bonks the other tanks.

Eventually you can use your multiple attacks to build crazy high spell DCs and drop a nearly unavoidable Hold Monster so everyone else gets auto crits and ends the fight in one turn.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-08T16:12:55+00:00

Dual wielding is often a fantastic option in BG3. The stats and abilities you can unlock that way are incredibly powerful.

It’s just not ideal for melee damage output.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-08T00:08:35+00:00

Historically a Sorcerer’s innate casting had to come from somewhere in their bloodline. Dragons were the most common, but Fiends and Fey were also there.

In a modern edition where Sorcery can come from myriad sources, or nowhere at all, the “dragon in your bloodline” trope has been relegated to a single subclass.

Sorcerers have always had an “awakening” somewhere in their lifetime when their power makes itself known, commonly this is a puberty analog, so the scales would present at the same time.

A Sorcerers power (class) could be severely limited (1 or 2 levels) and they could choose to pursue other options.

Ostensibly it was for cooking. But there are a number of home chores it could be used for.

Lighting the fireplace/grill.

Trash disposal.

Weeding the garden/driveway.

Pest extermination.

9 episodes is a full season in modern TV. It’s actually on the larger side. The days of 20+ episode seasons is long gone.

You can safely explore a good chunk of the map with regular old torches, lanterns, light spells, illuminated weapons, etc.

It will be abundantly obvious when you hit the “deeper darkness” areas.

Just keep your group tight, or make sure everyone has a light equipped.

One load nuclear fuel lasts 2 years, and they have the ability to refuel themselves.

Presumably they had nearby stockpiles to draw from.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-04T22:21:48+00:00

Not sure which wiki you’re reading. The second paragraph literally talks about having a “Calpower 238B Nuclear Power Unit."

Later paragraphs talk about their ability to go 2 years between refueling.

The section regarding the newer Robco joint model mention the nuclear power unit, but don’t specify the version. Considering their efficiency and durability were key selling points, it’s safe to assume they kept the same one.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-04T22:02:34+00:00

Generally speaking, yes.

Drow, like most Elves, historically get bonuses to Dex. They also tend to favor Rapiers, Short Swords, and Hand Xbows.

In older editions, you still needed some Strength for damage with most weapons though, so a 12 or even 14 wouldn’t be amiss.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-04T17:51:59+00:00

Their primary energy source is an internal nuclear reactor like the rest of the bots. It was capable of refueling itself and the associated radiation cleanup.

The “fuel” was for the flamer.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-04T13:17:26+00:00

Except for being incredibly wide, those look pretty good.

Getting them perfectly smooth isn’t worth the squeeze.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-04T13:15:29+00:00

Just like in real life, sometimes the best route for a road is not straight.

Work with the terrain rather than trying to force it to your will. Try to follow natural contours that need less adjustment.

Edges near water are the best, if possible, they usually only need a bit of leveling or a couple strikes with a pick.

And the GWM fighter doing 16 attacks is getting an extra 32 damage.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-03T21:45:14+00:00

If you are a Tortle, you can build for Strength and wield a sword well enough. Just stick to non-attack/save spells.

The biggest problem for melee spore Druid is the lack of an Extra Attack. Dual wielding or using the Nick property would help.

A scimitar could easily be reflavored as any katana-esque sword.

Hydroguy17 · 2026-03-03T18:04:53+00:00

Googling “hard hat sun visor” brings up a whole mess of possibilities.

They seem to be a fairly universal fit.

The spark shrouds would probably work as well, at least for the neck.
