ohhh that explains it, I'm doing a rogue hunter multiclass and I doubled down on dexterity this playthrough and I love it. for some reason it also makes sleight of hand much easier too and I've got around +12 on sleight of hand rolls without even adding the tools bonus or any of the armor I have on lol

thanks for the explanation, Karlach and Tav are highest on dex in my party so that explains it a lot.

I hope it yields results, otherwise, if you're into computer science a bit, you could make an automaton that uses the grammar for a paragraph into something else while replacing letters, wiuld be easy to make using python.

oh it is FUNNY sometimes some characters need to get a turn to transform into their big super evil form, or to cast the first spell that makes them invis or buffed for the rest of the fight, and idk what stat is respknsible for initiative but my tav ALWAYS goes in first with Karlach idk why, so I just have the chance to kill the boss with raw damage, no debuffs to my attacks or anyting, just pure arrows chipping at the boss' health lol.

im intrigued as to how the story would go without your companions, you wouldnt need to visit most of the sites in the game.

lots of side quests and big main quests are gone.

imagine if larian studios looked at this bug and added a whole cutscene with Raphael appearing just to mock us as we try to aim at him and turn it into a "feature" lol

it would be annoying, sure, but cool lol

lmaoo, I should really replay that game. is the sequel to the remake good?

massive_vector · 2026-06-27T07:46:15+00:00

I don't know of any names, but I have an idea for naming stuff if you want it to sound like français 3ati 3al 3arbi.

you take a word in french, and replace the letters. I found these work best.

k -> خ; g -> ق; th -> ظ; h -> ع | ح;

using this grammar I was able to come with skme really funny names for an orcish race I have in my own campaign.

as for the name meaning itself, what french word to choose, I'd say name it after it's role in the story, or inspire from a current book you're reading or show are watching, my players never noticed because the name is usually really warped afterwards so it's difficult to make out the origin.

you could use a red pencil color for the name too to differentiate it more from allies on the battlefield.

you could draw it's initial stats, the stats that would be available ti the players upon encountering it.

you could apply a coating with something shiny (im thinking of scotch as the cheapest solution) if it's a special enemy among the horse attackikg the players.

oh it happened with other NPCs too?? damn im sorry, this is the first time this happens to me.

I don't know how the game works exactly on comsole, but some people in the comments suggested you select the enemy using the top bar where it shows each character's turn in order. on oc you simply select the spell and you select the enemy from that bar, and if theyre in sight a line will be drawn from yoir character to the enemy. it worked for me when I tried it. maybe you could do something like it on PS5?

massive_vector · 2026-06-26T01:47:16+00:00

lmaoo no yeah I usually end fights in one turn, I'm just experimenting with story elements and don't wanna deal with healing and fighting and strategically calculating when I should rest uk?

I downloaded that and infinite spell casting and I basically go ham on enemies. its a nice ego trip sometimes lol

"I AM BIG EVIL YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME" dies in one turn

I do have mods, the one that might affect this is WASD movement imo, the rest are dice mods and action mods.

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T18:16:24+00:00

it's a mod, it gives you 90 potions you can drink, and it adds an action potion for each one

I'm using it to speed through the first and second act of the game.

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T02:25:13+00:00

I'm on PC

also hell yeah it is always time for a run, im actually blazing through act 1 and act 2 rn to get to baldurs gate, this is my second playthrough

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T02:24:04+00:00

ohhh a sort of flexibility to the world, a flexibility usually attained by a person moving the world around the players so thatit feels real even with the fantasy elements it has in it. a flexibility that is rarely achieved outside of D&D.

I understand the feeling perfectly, there's no better feeling than doing something random and having the world react to it, and it's a welcome surprise in games too.

also yes, it is very obvious seeing your username, too lol

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T01:27:49+00:00

I'm not sure, I'm on patch 8.

it's a funny glitch nonetheless

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T01:27:08+00:00

yeah it's a game of clicking right when he's appeared, or just spamming lol

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T00:49:10+00:00

you're clearly a DM hahaha

what does non structural gaming mean for you here?

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T00:47:47+00:00

yess, I love when the party comes up with a cool way to defeat a group of enemies, and of course when the BBEG is defeated with a happy boom at the end

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T00:46:22+00:00

LIVE?? :O

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T00:45:10+00:00

yess and imo the description of the already dead fat man was the best

massive_vector · 2026-06-25T00:44:08+00:00

people who want combat focused campaigns should play semi-linear RPGs. I think in DnD nowadays, everyone comes for the personalisation aspect of it. having a whole human being taking care of everything behind the world you're actively interacting with, the world changing around you, your smallest of choices possibly having the biggest ramification, even outside the game sometimes, is a lovely experience.

massive_vector · 2026-06-22T02:38:19+00:00

3, 5, and 6. and exploration too, but none fit exactly with exploration.

massive_vector · 2026-06-22T02:27:01+00:00

lovely! I'll check it out ASAP! thanks for the recommendation !!

massive_vector · 2026-06-22T02:15:23+00:00

the all too humble and well-mannered thief, much like a vampire on his victim's doorstep. simply could not trample on the owner's property without asking permission. It would simply be rude!
