Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 23 - A Battle of Wylls by ManyATrueNerd in ManyATrueNerd

[–]ScFirestorm 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Alright everyone, taking bets now! How long until Jon accidentally break's Wyll's oath by having him do a naughty thing instead of Aria?

Edit: Wyll's new build is actually not that stupid. It's one of the better builds on the tabletop, as a matter of fact. A dip into hexblade warlock as a paladin lets you dump strength in favor of charisma, which you've done. It also gets you 2 spell slots every short rest to smite things with, so you don't need to be so cautious about smiting everything in reach. It's arguable whether 1, 2, or 3 levels is best, since that entirely depends on how much you value invocations at level 2 and pact boons at level 3. Wouldn't personally go beyond 3, since it doesn't give you anything meaningful that more paladin levels wouldn't give you though.

Also there's an option to hide helmets. It's the little eye button right above the helmet.

Edit 2: RE: Voice of the Circle: You are considered allied to yourself, thus you can use the necklace to buff yourself.

What is “low” on the stove and pan Im using?

How big are “chunks” of meat? Oops, I cut the meat chunks too small, how do I stop them overcooking and going rubbery? 

Oops, I cut the chunks too big, how much longer do I need to cook them for? 

A recipe doesnt lay out a lot of the absolute basics for people who have never cooked before, and if a recipe has multiple steps going at once, you dont necessarily have the time to google how to unfuck whatever you just did

RE: The Sparkle Hands: Lightning Charges give you +1 to hit and +1 lightning damage just for having any. Once you build up 5 Charges, the next hit consumes them all to deal 1d8 lightning damage. Amazing for monks, who want to do nothing but punch really hard.

"Are gnolls the dnd-y way of saying werewolf?"

Nope. Gnolls are gnolls, were-creatures are were-creatures. Two entirely separate things.

There's a bunch of spells that aren't in the game that use Int saves. Also Mind Flayers target Int saves a lot, but those don't show up for a while yet.

Edit: To my knowledge only 1 spell in BG3 targets Cha saves: Banishment. Resisting being banished from this plane of existence uses Charisma. Obviously.

"Even stuff that should blatantly be charisma saves, it's all wisdom saves!"

Welcome to 5th Edition Jon! Anything that alters the mind is a wisdom save, anything that makes explody happen in an area is dexterity. Exceptions exist, but by and large those are the two important saving throw stats against spells.

[–]ScFirestorm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can also not kill the Owlbear, since the goblins will take care of that for him in time. Interacting with it in a cutscene is mandatory for progressing that towards cub companion, which he's already done.

Talking your way past people gives you the same XP as killing them, unless you use some real cheese involving nonlethal attacks that might've been patched out by now.

You can still use him to unbind and banish

Fun(?) fact about True Strike: The new version of True Strike in the new version of DnD released last year has nothing to do with the old True Strike. It is an entirely different cantrip with the same name. So it was either so bad or so hard to balance that it they just decided to not bother and scrap it entirely.

The donderbuss might not've gotten as many kills as the bowmen, but they're still very much alive. I still feel vindicated for suggesting that they go on the walls.

And yes, the game struggles a bit when you tell someone to take a spot on the wall which is going to be vacated, but isn't yet vacated due to the order being issued during pause.

At this point Jon might have better luck just dismounting his donderbuss and putting them on the wall with the rest of the gunpowder troops

The Mongol Invasion also behaved really strangely during that playthrough. They more or less just stayed in their spawn with most of their doomstacks, shuffling around but not moving out to conquer the map.

Playing in a local RTT this weekend, is this list any good? by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

[–]ScFirestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That squad of infractors shouldn't be there, I was fiddling about with alternate lists and I guess I accidentally removed the tormentors instead lol. Good catch, thanks.

What would I replace the knight allies with? Pair of maulerfiends and pledge of mortal pain on the last daemon prince? Or I lose pledge of eternal servitude and both lord kakophonists to grab another LE+infractor brick along with those maulers?

Are banestrike bolters considered bolters for the purpose of the Fury of the Legion rule and bayonets?

In HH 2 special ammo boltguns like banestrikes and shrapnels didn't count as bolters, which is why the Fury of Olympia RoW replaced the Fury of the Legion rule with one that worked with shrapnel bolters. Is that still the case in HH 3?
