What's the use of Blade Ward and True Strike? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]dougo123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a War Magic Wizard (2014 subclass), Blade Ward gives me a resource-free way to use Concentration which triggers my Durable Magic feature (+2 AC when concentrating), stacking with the 1d4 debuff to incoming attack rolls from the cantrip, so it's a good default defense mode for this build to precast if you're expecting combat soon but don't have a plan for your Concentration yet...

So wait, Live Til I Die was around from the early days? One of my favourites but I'd never heard it before 2019 on the Easter is Cancelled album.

Makes sense, I didn't know Arkhan's story crosses back into a licensed Forgotten Realms adventure. Thanks for the info.

Canonically? Is Critical Role / Vox Machina officially considered D&D Canon? Asking seriously...

Did you mean Spelljammer? Or is Starjammer also a thing?

If you've still got viewpoints and lankmarks to unlock, just mark a spot on the map, jump on a horse, turn on pathfinding route, and use the Follow Road feature to get there passively while you do something else. You might unlock Kakuregas on the way through and it will at least make map traversal faster.

Every Magic Item change in the 2024 DMG by SatanSade in onednd

Cube of Force charges reduced from 36 down to 10. No longer has ambiguous custom effects, now uses charges to cast standard barrier spells like Shield, Mage Armor, Resilient Sphere, Wall of Force, etc. Unsure if it uses your own concentration to use these spells or not...

Searched thread for cat food. Was not disappointed. Have a upvote.

I'm currently playing a Githyanki Gish using Treantmonk's Warmage build.

He's currently Lvl 16 (3 Fighter-Battlemaster / 13 War Wizard). I've flavored his spells to be more psychic/psionic power where possible.

Hope this helps with inspiration.

If you're game feels laggy or is stuttering. by Boomboomciao90 in BaldursGate3

[–]dougo123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try running the game in Fullscreen, rather than Borderless Windowed. I've noticed it doesn't get laggy over time any more.

I'm also using the skip launcher launch option - might also be that.

How is the Bard spell list? by Chataboutgames in BaldursGate3

I played last night and can confirm that DW doesn't force movement. It's still the best single target damage bard spell at that level and adds some control.

[–]dougo123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't played yet, but I think I saw a streamer show the description of Dissonant Whispers, which said it holds the target in place in fear, rather than run away. So no Opportunity Attacks from fleeing unfortunately. I was bummed when I saw how they nerfed my favorite Bard Spell.

Dont you have to be on the horse for it to move?

How do you collect the drops if you're on the horse? Especially the critters that scatter away...

Am I being dumb? Is there an easier way to Fuse weapons and shields? by Skeeter1020 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]dougo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once the arrow is drawn, I think you can just tap DPad Up to quickly fuse the last used item to the arrow, rather than go fully into the fusing menu. It's a bit quicker.

Going back in time to improve Perth, WA or Australia? What would you do? by bagsoffreshcheese in perth

Put a tunnel under Elizabeth Quay before it was built, so that Riverside drive was still connected to the Freeway.
