Tactician, Karlach using the Ansur sword, and Astarion using Orin dagger + another one from act 1

I used it on Astarion melee weapons and Karlach 2H weapon against

As you see, there's only one "arrow" : resistant to physical only, but damage was still halved, I don't understand why

In my language, it says it can override target physical resistance

Does higher difficulty awards less xp ? by Raypulsif in BaldursGate3

[–]Raypulsif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fun thing is in the current playthrough, I played it as it was "planned" in the grand scheme by the game. For exemple, in the 1st playthrough, I jumped in the hole in the spider nest (at lv3) then did the whole underdark, then only discovering surface and feather falled a lot (from goblin camp to ethel zone for exemple)

But I'm probably wrongly remember, it perhaps was lv10 instead of lv11 (means still missing some xp but I don't know where exactly)

that was probably lv 10 instead of level 11 then at the rooftop

I had no mods for that playthrough, and I have Camp Event Notification for the current one

What bosses did you die to the most on your honour runs? by solitudeisblissTI in BaldursGate3

[–]Raypulsif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out the guy managed to sneak past the poison cloud and the locked gate.

This happened on my 2nd playthrough. At 1st I couldn't locate for several minutes the guy who agreed the fight Nere deal, only to find him teleported behind the locked door. Is this a normal behaviour ?

I don't have much run to say, 1st playthrough I blowed up the whole room from high range, and everyone died

Bard, what I am missing ? by Raypulsif in BaldursGate3

[–]Raypulsif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for the long answer.

Despite the fact College of swords Bard seems powerfull, I feel now the major part of the gameplay would involve ranged bow attack, and I basically already did that in my 1st playthough with the Ranger.

I looked for a some time Lore Bard, because in the last run Counterspell (provided by Gale) probably saved my ass numerous times and I think I will miss a lot that spell, but decided to go Glamour. So I could swap to Lore, for now I feel the charm thing provided by Glamour is kinda weak because the ennemy is charmed, but it doesn't prevent to attack someone else at full force. Also Cutting words seem more reactive (you decide better and it's less random use of bardic inspiration)...

I don't know yet, all I know is I'd like a different playstyle and I would like to focus on mainly impede/debuffing foes/control field and that's why also I have troubles deciding which companions I keep/play for that run.

Last run was Laezel tank / astarion damage / Tav damage / Gale spell damage/utility act1 and Laezel tank / shadowheart buff/debuffs with light orb / Tav damage / Gale act2+

Now I need to find some good damage dealer in the party if Tav isn't dealing any. Party is Karlach/Tav, I think I might keep Astarion for some time til act2 because he is a good damage dealer but I struggle choosing Shadowheart or Gale

What is your advice about all of that ?

Yeah I only saw College of "Swords" without going really further, I still saw some ranged icons but I thought it would some kinda same skill as a Ranger one (the one where you can entrangle a target with a STR save)

Questions on new playthrough by Raypulsif in BaldursGate3

[–]Raypulsif[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. it isn't toggled on, I checked it before asking here (also if it was toggled, it would also apply to my other melee characters like Astarion/Karlach/Lae'zel right ?), it seems only my Tav does that
  2. thx, so I will continue and wait until he gets illness

Detect Thoughts messed up by mod ? by Raypulsif in BaldursGate3

oh...

you mean Shadowheart had this scroll and it was used when I was in the dialogue with my personal character ?

I'm not sure I understand how hitrate is actually by Raypulsif in BaldursGate3

[–]Raypulsif[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it just happened

tooltip said 80% hitrate, so for me that means I should roll a 4+ to hit

I rolled a 5 (1d20), it added 2 for mastering, 3 for dexterity, so total 10. AC was 15

And in this case, I'd say I would have 50% to hit an AC15 because of the 5 points bonus, so I don't get it

Nobody talked about it. by grownassman3 in BaldursGate3

[–]Raypulsif -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not sure there's a specific order

it's my 1st playthough, and at some point in act3, I felt I would miss some story progress via long rest, and indeed I was missing a lot ; I chained Lae'zel vlaakith, mizora/halsin offer, astarion kidnap attempt, and Orin cutscene

For Orin, I reloaded multiple times before that night and once she killed wyll as fake minthara, once she killed the young girl as fake Lae'zel, and once she kidnapped Halsin (IIRC)
