The charisma check is only if she'll help you for free. The medallion is only so you can move about the back rooms without hostility from the 2 guards and their captain. I actually forgot what you're supposed to say when you have the medallion to avoid violence though, so just kill all 3 of them.

Dillbag posted:I'm pretty sure I've prepped for that fight for long enough that the shadow dragon noticed me through the wardstone. There was a dialog from the dragon along the lines of "you're an idiot for hanging around so long, you should have known I'd eventually notice you" and I definitely didn't have SCS installed. !PartyHasItem("MISC6P") // Shadow Dragon Wardstone AttackedBy([ANYONE],DEFAULT) Either way, that dialogue is just the default "You idiots, I'm killing you now." How amusing that you petty fleshlings would dare disturb the slumber of the Shadow Dragon? Are you daft? Blind? Whatever, I shall tear your bodies apart and feast on your innards while you whimper and cry for mercy. So I'm fairly sure that whatever it's doing in your case is a mod.

Sorcerers (3e PHB, PO: Spells and Magic, Spellbound) For once, a pretty uncomplicated transition. The Sorcerer isn't a total innovation, even within DnD, but this is a very clear case of just taking the 3e class and slapping it into the game without very many changes. Not that there's a lot to change, because the Sorcerer's class feature list beyond 'casts spells' is limited to say the least. The only things that went unimplemented are bonus spells for high charisma, and the possibility of expending a higher level slot to cast a lower level spell, just in case you really needed to cast Stoneskin again and had run out of your fourth level slots, but not your fifth. Dynaheir, of all NPCs, probably gets closest to being a Sorcerer under the native 2e rule system. Witches of Rasheman, while in Rasheman get to do spontaneous casting just like the 3e class. It's a neat quirk, meant to be a counterbalance in lore to the Red Wizards' spell circles. There's also a peculiar variety of spellcasting in Player's Option: Spells and Magic, which lets you kind of mix and match Vancian casting and sorcery: memorise some spells normally, but leave other slots floating free so you can jam a spell into them as you like, albeit with more effort. They're balanced by taking real effort to cast spells, which can leave the wizard physically exhausted or even dead if they strain too hard, along the lines of lots of pulp fantasy magic. I really like the look of it, but I suspect it's either unplayable in practice or brutally OP, just because it's from a Player's Option book. And we're done with the kitless classes, so I can move back to the normal ones. I'll put off having to explain 2e divine casting for a while, so probably thieves next.

Note to self: be quicker when removing Wyvern poison, it hurts. Sitting here is a much safer grinding position than the Flesh Golem cave if you have a ranged weapon, for anyone who gives a poo poo about that kind of thing. In BG2 (when I normally get to level 5 divine spells), Greater Command is pretty worthless. Maybe it'll be good in BG1?  Oh year, it also affects me. Back to Righteous Magic we go! On to Baldur's Gate!

The more ranged DPS you have, the better. At level 5-6 you can transition your toughest front-liners to melee. Towards the end of the game I bought 1000 +2 arrows and did not regret it.

Huh. I've just been hoarding potions like a maniac, and have had minsc, jaheira and khalid at the frontline every time. Buying +1 or +2 arrows does seem to get expensive over time though.

Buying +1 or +2 arrows does seem to get expensive over time though. And a lot of other things kind of depend on your party. All the ones you mentioned get their best weapons as loot drops throughout the game (and there aren't that many good weapons for sale to begin with). I generally buy a wand and some potions, but otherwise just save up for the really expensive items. Obviously I'll buy good spell scrolls, and some ammo for hard fights, but mostly I wait until my reputation is high and I have the money for Archmage Robes, Claw of Kazgaroth etc. Also, I forgot to mention, but a lot of the better higher level gear is sold in Ulgoth's Beard. Once you have over 10k or so you may want to go there.

Wizard Styles posted:Well, you should hoard potions to some degree, but you can solve a lot of problems up until the midgame by just throwing magic molotovs at them. I may have missed a couple of them already v0v. The only magical weapons I got rocking around right now is a shortbow +1 for Imoen, that cold +2 longsword for khalid, a 1+ sling for myself, and a 1+ QS for Jaheira.

If you don't dual-class Imoen to Mage, Coran is a straight upgrade, although I think he isn't great with traps. (If you dual-class Imoen, Coran is a good option to take along while she's regaining her Thief skills.)

What's the point of story mode. I just wanted to zoom through bg 1 on cruise control to get a save ready for Siege of Dragonspear and the lack of any challenge at all just puts me to sleep. Even if you have never played before and want to experience the story I don't get it.

Just finished my ironman run of BG1 with a solo F/M/T, had a lot of trouble in a few spots, and I feared I would fail the duchal palace fight (so I cheesed it) but the Sarevok fight has been the easiest one in my life, wand abuse is a hell of a thing. Now, to BG2. Any tips on weapons/proficiences? I'm aiming for completing ToB too, I'm thinking putting points in dual wield and katanas/flails, for the celestial fury and flail of ages, and short bows for ranged weapons, any suggestions?
