It kinda sucks that they spent two origin characters on humans. It makes sense for wyll to a human because of his background lore of father being a royal high up in BG. Where’s my half orc, dragon born, or even bad rear end dwarf? Feels like gale should’ve been different then human, we already have a half human in Shart to go along with Wyll.

Ginette Reno posted:Roah Moonglow is one of my most hated npcs in the game and it takes a lot of restraint not to murder her smug rear end the first time I see her in the goblin camp. But I always feel rather cathartic in Act 3 when I gun her down when she tries to flee with the gold. Since she's got that big ol bag of gold plus her own merchant money in act 3, what happens if you just... kinda... throw Twist of Fortune at her as she runs? Moon Slayer posted:Oh good it's not just me then. Fun thing with that fight: it's supposed to be an enforced 1v1, but nobody seems to mind if you happen to bring along Fork and the Dance Macabre and some elementals.

I wonder if Marcus was supposed to be recruitable at some point. Afaik he's the only one other than companions that also strips if looted.

I do like how when he's killed instead of disappearing like most corpses you can find his body out back where they dumped him.

So dragons can take on a humanoid form as well as the usual one, and they look exactly like dragonborn which supposedly only have a distant ancestor? Also how did that come about, did someone gently caress a dragon once? I was very confused when I met kithrak boss's dragon in the sewers. ChronoReverse posted:I was a Sorcerer ... 186HP ???

It's fairly vague on how that comes about other than "maybe the dragon gods did it"

Dragonborn don't really have a defined origin in DnD 5e, because they were shoehorned in so people could play dragons. They were a prestige race in an earlier edition, where you could petition the Dragon God to transform you into a dragonborn. In the Forgotten Realms they're aliens from another planet.

That's always bothered me about D&D and other fantasy universes. That half-[race] is always human + [race]. I understand that it's likely due to rules writing and not wanting to do permutations for every race pairing, but still.

Man, I’m bummed out. If you do the goblin camp before confronting Kagha, then you just *can’t* confront her. On top of that, my Tiefling party was bugged and I couldn’t talk to any Tieflings. This led, apparently, to Zevlor not giving me a present. Thinking of trashing this whole run now and starting over.

That happened to me in my last HM run and I missed the gloves, so for my new run, I just immediately pickpocketed an unconscious Zevlor when I let Anders deck him. It's funny how past events in an alternate version of the world affect your character's choices now. Also, I couldn't talk to any Tieflings in my last 3 runs now, so I think that's a common bug.

Monathin posted:The point of Warlock/Paladin is twofold: being able to use Short Rest Spell Slots for your smites so that you aren't long resting after every encounter, and Blade Pact (or Hexblade in tabletop) letting you use CHA for your attack stat so you don't have to worry about micromanaging either STR or DEX. Bard/Paladin can put out some silly damage numbers if you're only expecting to do one fight before Long Resting but Warlock/Paladin is incredibly self-sufficient, alleviates a weakness of Paladin (running out of spell slots for Smites) and basically only cares about CHA and CON, which is what makes it such a popular multi. It doesn’t compliment paladin because aside from getting the extra attack and ‘having spell slots’ everything warlock does is built around Eldritch blast which is not something you’re going to be using if you’re focused on smiting. Having to build up dex is not an issue as a bard paladin, you set dex to 17 and cha to 16 and con to 14 and you’re good. You don’t need to max out cha because nothing you’re doing with the build is utilising spell attack rolls/saving throws. You end up with like 24 AC by the time you end act 1, which is pretty drat nice. You do far more damage - your spell slots can last a couple fights unless it’s one of the major fights of the game - you’re already so far ahead of paladin warlock on damage it’s perfectly fine to use lower level smites as well - and even when they run out you still have flourishes to fall back on. And since there is gently caress all stopping you from long resting pretty much whenever you want, talking about long resting as if it’s this super precious resource to be conserved is the silliest thing I’ve ever heard.
