I don't need an ability that disables spells when I'm concentrating I just need a prompt to remind me how loving stupid I'm about to be I mean it's my job to remember and I'm being greedy with my incredible power so I just cop it. I never mess up cancelling bless or whatever, I'm just desperate for that lightning. I should probably just put the haste item on someone else so my sorcerer doesn't need to think (haha I'm totally going to twin it onto other characters and gently caress them up instead).

The mod I really want is "turn all gear outlines to purple/yellow" because some of the green pieces are still endgame worthy in Act 1 but I don't want my paper dolls to look like peasants.

I had found a mod that removes all rarity item borders off the bg3 nexus site, but looks like it's been deleted? Weird!!

You guys are asking for more pop up’s when you don’t even read true ones we already have. Also the reaction window slows combat down so much.

What is it about BG3 that inspires nerds to act so arrogant? I swear I've seen more people's intelligence insulted around this one specific game than I have anywhere else. Lol

I'm not trying to be arrogant or insult people's intelligence, I just think our brains have been so melted by overstimulation that people can't just slow down and experience things. Like if you have reaction asks enabled it takes all of .2 seconds to click the button. And if that's too slow for you, then you can just set a particular reaction to not ask for confirmation! God drat it's like some of you have never had to wait 20 minutes to download a picture of some titties on a 56k modem e: I mean I know people who literally cannot play games or watch tv without constantly glancing at a phone or doing something else when whatever they are doing is "boring." Every TV IV thread will inevitably have someone complain about something not being explained or shown or whatever, and then of course it actually was, they were just too busy looking at their phone and live posting to notice.

You don't need a pop up necessarily. Just some sort of (red/danger/whatever) visual indicator on concentration spells when you're already concentrating.

When I’m DMing irl I make my players wear a funny hat if they’re concentrating so maybe funny hats on any character that’s concentrating

FYI you can see when you’re concentrating on a spell by looking in the lower left of your hotbar, and can cancel them early so that your party doesn’t walk through Cloud of Daggers for ten minutes after combat ends.

It probably is working but it doesn’t stack with unarmored defense. You’re probably seeing the exact same number with 13 + dex vs 10 + dex + con

BurritoJustice posted:Does this mean you can use oathbreaker paladin to get a pet gith inquisitor? Yes! You can get any character that turns into a shadow undead, even the dryder. It's one of my favorite things about Oathbreaker. I usually have one of the Housing of Healing nurses with me, as I just think they are a cool sidekick, and they do a stun attack that is pretty good.

It's weird how locked in the levelling stuff is. It's specifically a multiclass to level 20 mod, it can't take you to 13 because there is literally no game data for what that means. You're supposed to spread out your levels and only take a level 12 as the final level up (so like, you go Paladin 11/Fighter 4/Warlock 4 and then take Paladin 12 for the final 20 level up)You can roll back to whenever you were level 11 and spend all that experience on other classes now.

Her defence is really bad even with the con boost compared to my wizards. Ah well she's a bag of HP with resistances I suppose. Also I found the solution to the genie and my word that's a throwable item.

Yeah don’t bother looking at her AC. Boost her with aid and if you have it, heroes’ feast. If she is really getting beat up just get a cleric hireling and warding bond her then leave the cleric behind in your camp

Barbarians also do fine with medium armor, it's only heavy armor that starts disabling things. There's enough great armor in the game you're usually better off wearing some.

Also, when I first read your post I didn't think of concentration in the BG3 or D&D context, I thought you made people wear funny hats whenever it looked like they were really paying attention to something. "I'm sorry Dave, you're clearly distracted by the TV over there, give me the hat".

It's weird how locked in the levelling stuff is. why did you install a mod to give you more xp? The game is balanced around being level 12. I used a level unlocker mod and finished the game at level 16. I was 12 before hitting act 3, I think.

Went back to the first map to see about tying off some loose ends and make sure I've found everywhere and stumbled on some mercs who wanted to know what happened to their team and cargo, who I knew had been clowned on by Gnolls. I handed their cargo right over all nice and the cow tried to kill me for opening it. Ingrate! And now she's dead.

I felt like I only got four effects anyway (although switching them is cool). She's throwing a thunder trident with reverb gear on now it rules. Snake Maze posted:Barbarians also do fine with medium armor, it's only heavy armor that starts disabling things. There's enough great armor in the game you're usually better off wearing some. Yeah but I had some clothes with a free mage armour and thought why not. I've put her in bonespike now. Will see what else comes my way in the big city! If I throw the spear a couple of times it knocks people down (also the damage is gross it feels massively op).

It's one of the blind spots this game has, along with the way traps are handled.

Something fun I figured out in the Mountain Pass on my current run, at Rosymorn Monastery, when you run into the drunken Kobolds that have raided the wine cellar, some of the Firewine barrels have Kobolds that have gotten trapped inside them drinking the wine. You can hear the glug glug glug sounds if you get close to them. I think I had seen that on a previous run, but what I hadn't realize before is you can pick up the barrels and send them back to camp and they will still have the Kobolds inside them. I haven't tested to see if they persist through a long rest yet. You can tell the Kobold barrels apart in your inventory because they weigh 10lbs instead of the usual 40lbs. (you'd think they would weigh more but apparently kobolds have negative weight). I can't wait have Karlach try flying a Kobold barrel in a fight.

My sister told me this happened to her because she was a compulsive barrel hoarder / barrel mancer. She learned about it only in Act 3, so yes they live indefinitely. Act 3 Spoilers Ahead: According to her, rather than disable the Steel Watchers, she decided to rig explosives all over Gortash’s castle. She had been hoarding explosives literally all game and killed a huge number of Steel Watchers. Then Gortash cast some kind of big rear end Concentration spell. From her telling of the combat - one of the last barrels to trigger had a drunken kobold pop out. It made a lazy swing at Gortash and somehow managed to break his concentration. 10/10 GOTY
