Well, that's irritating. At the end of Watcher's Keep and I summoned a Deva to help out with that piss annoying fight at Imprisoned One's key locks. Deva was (ironically enough) hit with Imprisonment. Now I can't summon any more Devas since she's technically still alive and you can only have one out at a time. I don't even recall where you get Freedom scrolls aside from that guy in the Underdark.

Or if you're still in SoA, maybe you should check the Adventurer's mart? Or maybe even the merchant on top of Watcher's Keep? I'm just saying scrolls of Freedom aren't exactly rare, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem to just free the deva. That does sound like a pretty obnoxious bug though.

Because its solely to fix an unexpected bug, I wouldn't feel bad about using the console to spawn a scroll for you. Edit: the item code to spawn a scroll of freedom appears to be SCRL9Z Koskinator fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Jan 27, 2014 |

Entropy238 posted:Viconia got changed to a fighter/cleric with the same stats as Anomen because I couldn't face using Anomen because he's Anomen. Nothing interesting here - she became a standard FoA/Crom or DoE wielding monster like other cleric based characters towards the end of the game. Boring but effective. As the game progressed it became harder and harder to keep her in the front line because of her low CON so I could only really throw her in the thick of things properly with Armor of Faith, Hardiness and DoE stacking physical resists. Mages completely wrecked her at every point in the game. #2 How can Viconia get owned by mages when she has 65% natural MR? Do they use a lot of Lower Resistance? If so that would give you a fair bit of time to take them out, no?

Think I just hit an odd bug in Throne of Bhaal, playing a kensai/mage I just hit mage level 18, got my first 9th level spell slot and my first HLA. After leveling I seem to have lost my kensai bonuses to AC as my AC has suddenly dropped from -7 to -5. I also noticed when I leveled I got another weapon proficiency pip, but the game let me put it onto anything that I could as a kensai (and also put more than one on a weapon now) which I thought was odd. I googled around but couldn't find anything about this happening to anyone else, and my thac0 still seems to be right, I still have the same number of attacks and I still have the kai ability. Is there anywhere that the class bonuses I'm receiving should be listed, or can I check that with shadowkeeper or something? Anyone heard of this happening before? This is regular throne of bhaal with only the fixpack and widescreen mods installed, not EE.

You should have been able to put multiple pips on weapons as soon as you got your Kensai levels back the first time. Not sure about the AC bonus. I would take all your armor and items off to see if the base AC still checks out. Worst case scenario you can add it back in with Shadowkeeper.

My bet is you took too long on one of Phaere's requests. If she gives you a time limit on something, she loving means it. Violating the time limit of any of the infiltration quests blows your cover.

Well the smart way to play it is to basically do stuff during each stage of her overall plot line so you're not cramming it all into one time limit, because she gives you a different time limit at every landmark. Ransacking the Beholder/Illithid places before she even asks for Elder Race Bits, for example. So if she has further quests before the end, just reset your time limit by finishing the current quest.

Well, I took the cloak of protection +2 off and my AC didn't change so I put it back on and my AC went back down to where it should be. Guess it wasn't kensai abilities after all, no idea why the cloak suddenly got into equipment limbo though. Fire giants are now slightly less murderous.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything recent when I searched. Has anyone had any luck playing cross-platform multiplayer on Baldur's Gate 2 EE? I have the game on Steam and tried playing with my friend (who has the iPad version), but we couldn't connect to each other. We could both see a list of available games, but it seemed like our lists were different. I think I saw somewhere that the game versions might be different at the moment, can anyone confirm?

Just a quick list of the ones I like by spell level: 1 - magic missile, armor, sleep (early on when things won't save against it) 2 - melf's acid arrow, power word sleep, resist fear (use it! so many things hit your party with fear effects and one cast covers everyone), ray of enfeeblement, strength (cheese tactic: cast strength on big scary things and their strength is REDUCED to 18 with no save), glitterdust (early invisibility counter) 3 - fireball, lightning bolt, haste, melf's minute meteors (the attack with these is considered a weapon attack with a +5 weapon), slow, skull trap (I don't use it very much but a lot of people seem to like it) 4 - greater malison (use before throwing out death spells / status effects), improved invisibility, stoneskin, minor sequencer 5 - chaos, cloudkill, breach, oracle, spell shield 6 - chain lightning, contingency, pierce magic, true seeing, globe of invulnerability, improved haste, spell deflection 7 - delayed blast fireball, ruby ray of reversal, spell sequencer (load this poo poo up with magic missiles then explode enemy wizards before they get their protections up!), spell turning, finger of death 8 - Symbol (anything), simulacrum, spell trigger, horrid wilting 9 - everything except bigby's crushing hand As a sorcerer you're going to have to pick a specialty, you'll never have enough known spells to get everything that a wizard will have so pick something to focus on and do mostly that. You can have your NPCs pick up the slack on the areas you don't have, so if you focus on the big damage dealing evocations you can have other NPC wizards pick up all the party buffs, or offensive status effects or (in the late game) anti wizard debuffs. Later in the game the anti magic protection spells will become very important, use breach to get rid of things like stoneskin and use pierce magic/ruby ray of reversal/secret word/warding whip to get rid of the spell protections keeping your breach from hitting home. Alternatively, recruit Keldorn and use his ridiculous dispel ability instead. Some things also get replicated by clerics: dispel magic, hold person and the symbols all show up in the cleric spell list and your cleric(s) will generally have a bunch more spell slots available than your wizards. Also clerics level faster, if you recruit anomen for example he'll be at level 20something by the time your sorcerer pc hits 15 or 16. Hope that wall of text helps, I know I forgot something important in there.

I might be wrong, but I think you have as much time as you want after actually doing Phaere's stuff. Like she might give you an hour to kill gnomes, but after they're dead she'll be waiting all day for you to turn it in.

If you aren't afraid of a bit of cheese, Chromatic Orb for a level 1 spell is potentially overpowered against single target big bosses. At a certain point it turns into a single target instant death spell with the downside of a +6 bonus to the targets save. Combined with Greater Malison and the sheer volume of orbs you can throw being a level 1 spell, it isn't really a downside and if it isn't immune to death its probably going to die before you run out

Steamrolling over him this time was pretty loving cool and I was a little embarrassed how excited it made me. I actually yelled something like "what now, bitch!", very glad I was home alone. Question; Are gated pit fiends supposed to go after my other summons?

Considering starting another BG1+2 run soon, after finishing my very first run through the games last year. Any suggestions for interesting mods that could spice up a second playthrough, besides what's in the OP? Looked over some of the bigger mods like Check the Bodies, but more specific info on what exactly they add (besides just giving you the number of new enemies/quests/etc) was a little sparse. Colors of Infinity looks decent, but it's always worth checking.

Man, I played these games as a kid, and I could never figure out how to succeed. I would always load up my dad's saves and try to play from wherever he was, but inevitably died horribly. I remember accidentally wandering into Durlags, picking a fight with the Shadow Dragon, and getting ripped apart by the beholders in the sewers. The games was so pretty, complicated, and exciting, but I just didn't have the know-how to participate. Now, years later with the EE addition, it is so satisfying going back and demolishing my childhood dream. Stomping around as a wild mage in BG1 was fun, but now I hit SoA, I'm just ridiculously powerful. gently caress you Bodhi, I ain't afraid of you. I hosed up an ancient red dragon JUST TO SEE IF I COULD, then killed his black cousin in two rounds to make a matching shirt. My paladin buddy kills elder beholders for fun with a sword that is one of the most powerful artifacts on the planet. You think I'm afraid of a tiny elven vampire with a mean older brother? Just entered the Underdark, I'm psyched to stomp some drow. Gotta say, so far, I'm really digging the Keldorn/Jaheira/Imoen/Mazzy/Minsc lineup. Everybody is just having so much fun smiting villains and kicking evil in the backside. It's like a college roadtrip with monsters instead of beer.
