If a character is ahead of the rest of the party, and I have melee combat enemies, that character is getting swarmed and possibly brought down because I keep enemies on an adversary once they've attacked it unless another character has proven they're more of a threat.
On one hand, I think that's what they should do. Concentrate attacks until the adversary is down.
On the other hand , I'm discouraging heroism.
I create so many backstory anecdotes, and few get revealed.
Just finished a short campaign and I never got to tell the story of why my character never lies.
When I was seven, I was only about 3 feet tall, and I was climbing a shelf to reach a toy my mother had put on the top shelf to keep away from me. The shelf jostled, and a crystal horse fell and shattered on the floor.
My mother was a single parent, and although she made a comfortable home for me, the horse was the only valuable possession she had, and the only heirloom she had from her mother.
When she returned, I told her the neighbor's cat had snuck into our apartment and knocked it off the shelf.
She accepted what I said, but the look on her face told me she knew I was lying and that it broke her heart.
Making my mother feel like that broke my heart and I promised myself to never lie again.
.....
So, would you go out of your way to tell that story, in game?
I've played BG1 a few dozen times, but I don't think this has ever happened.
I'm on the trail of the bandits, and I cleared the Peldvale map, but I can't seem to find a way to go to the next map. Even though I tried to leave at several points of the Peldvale map, no new map is an option.
Curious. Help?
FIXED. Had to deal with Tranzig.
I'm thinking of using them together, but I know Ajantis will eventually attack Baeloth. I also know that you can redirect Ajantis and move on. But I don't know if the attack can happen at an inopportune time, like in the middle of combat.
Is this combination doable? I want Baeloth to replace Dynaheir, but I don't want to lose my main Frontline guy in Minsc, and the only way to keep Minsc but lose Dynaheir is to kill her off, which I don't want to do for roleplaying.
So I thought of doing the double switch. I've never kept Ajantis in my party, so I don't know how difficult he is to keep with one evil character in my party
I just wanted to put something down on paper to see how untenable the situation was. I can't predict injuries, so I just had everyone play 70 games.
Name...games...minutes...average
Herro....70........1680.........24.0
Rollins..70........1680.........24.0
KPJ.......70........1120.........16.0
Burries..70.........980..........14.0
Green....70........1120..........16.0
Jakuc...70........1120..........16.0
Ryan.....20.........172.............8.6
Burries and Ryan might be OK with that, but no one else would. Could maybe give them another 1200 minutes as a wing, but that won't help much--less than 3 minutes a game more for the top 6 players.
Someone has to get moved before the season starts.
27 -- prorated based on win percentage without Giannis last year.
+6 -- contributions of Herro, Kas, Ware, JJ, and rookies or whatever they are traded for.
+3 -- player development or having Nance, Ous, etc. for the whole year.
+4 -- having a decent coach
Total: 40 wins, putting us 10th or 11th in the East, probably.
Prove me wrong. 🙂
I think she's the only female you can romance in I and Ii. I don't think I ever got far with the romance in either game because I don't usually keep her.
I don't think there are any alignment or race limitations.
Any suggestions?
Finished my second bottle of 1.5mg on Saturday. Had scheduled Dr. appointment yesterday, and will be getting 4.0mg soon, but haven't taken anything for a few days.
Started having very watery diarrhea, starting about 12 hrs after missing a dose.
Is this a thing? Or is something else going on. No fever or anything.
I'm going to have an event I bring food to. Of course I'd rather serve burgers fresh off the grill, but that probably won't be an option.
Would you ever serve burgers you kept warm in a crock pot for 30-60 minutes.
I had gone to Castle Maluradek prematurely and was getting my butt kicked, so I went to a save game and stopped the main IWD just before the endgame and went with Hjollder to start the HOW content.
I finished that, but after killing the dragon, I got taken back to Kuldahar and can't go to the Castle.
I guess I have to let Hobart take me to the Castle before I go to the Dragons Island.
Btw, I'm playing EE version.
I want to create a document with brief biographies and a picture for a few dozen NPCs.
I am incapable of creating the pictures. I either need a searchable collection of free images or an app that can create them.
What would you suggest?
Man, I think I really took this sidequest too early.
Finally took out the harpies, and the crypt wasn't too hard, but now the spectral guards are destroying me. Tried to start a battle where only a few would aggro, but I had 8 swarm me. I killed 3 and had turned 1 before they killed my entire party.
I had searched for tactics and found the suggestion for turn undead, but my 9th level cleric only turned one.
Willing to resort to cheese at this point.
The dude asks to be killed, but then I take a 5 point hit on my reputation. I don't think reputation does too much in this game, but I have a paladin. Going down to 7 doesn't seem to affect paladin abilities, but I don't know how much more I could lose.
I am supposed to kill him, aren't I?
There's a pretty good haul of magic items.
I'm continually getting swarmed by harpies. If there's only three, I can take care of them before they kill a character. I seldom get a chance to fireball them unless I want to fry half my party, and if multiple get close to me, I'm left with a couple of characters who can do something to save their stunned comrades before they're dead.
After clearing two of the towers, I rested in Hobart's guardhouse, and immediately get attacked by 3 harpies and within a round a couple more come from one direction and 3-4 more arrive from another direction the next round.
Will silence stop the harpies? I'll have to cast it near my party, so I won't be able to cast spells.
He hates crits so much that he said he's going to give bosses an ability to cancel (at least) one crit, making them just normal hits.
He's an experienced DM, so it's not that he's clueless.
Obviously this will affect nova damage builds the most. Smites, sneak attack, and other damage riders, etc. will get nerfed. Those types of builds are not optimized for sustained damage or control, and they won't get the satisfaction of blowing up the BBEG.
Is there anything more satisfying in combat than blowing up the bad guys with one crit?
And . . . The character I have is still waiting for his first crit-smite against a boss.
The character sheets I've found don't have enough space, particularly for "class features" and "equipment" and it's pretty tight for "species traits" and the spell list is getting pretty full too. And it would be good if I could change font size.
It would require three pages rather than the two pages available in the other forms I've found.
Ideally easily editable, pages or .docx.
