I'm probably going to try an honor mode run next, planning out my party. The way it's working out there is probably going to be a lot of electrified water one party member who needs to concentrate is probably going to be standing in a lot. Is there anything besides the sparkswall ring, like a spell I'm overlooking or something that can prevent them from taking a concentration check from that? I want to do a radiating orb / reverberation stacking build with that character. That'd be something like bard 10/cleric 2 running spirit guardians, then I'd have a monk 9/rogue 3 and a battlemaster fighter run in and lay down even more conditions when the enemy's physical saving throws are massively debuffed. The odd man out here may be the Evo wizard 10 / cleric 2 I want to play as my character but I really want to make it work.

The Wicked ZOGA posted:I can't stand Hexblade. Devils and Outer Gods and faeries, those are REAL eldritch entities. Something you can really make a pact with. Not whatever the hell hexblade is supposed to be. The different pacts (Blade, Chain, etc) should've been the subclasses and Hexblade should have been Pact of the Blade. The patrons should've been like Cleric deities, where you can fit them regardless the mechanical benefits of the class.

The odd man out here may be the Evo wizard 10 / cleric 2 I want to play as my character but I really want to make it work. You’d need at least 5 points in Cleric to get spirit guardians. With the setup you’ve described I don’t see why you’d need to worry too much about electrified water surfaces since those are usually part of a Tempest Cleric / Storm Sorc kit that abuse quickened spell to cast create water and lightning bolt on the same turn. If you want to have your Cleric run around debuffing and stacking radiant orbs on everyone, you can just keep them as a pure Light Cleric with Phalar Aluve and give the reverberation gear to your Evo Wizard who can then do mega thunder damage with MM. Less gear overlap that way. Then if you really want to inflict mass status effects, save all those points in Bard for the 2 Paladin / 10 Swords Bard build that abuses helm of arcane acuity + band of the mystic scoundrel to cast enchantment spells as a bonus action.

I'm really not that familiar with DnD, 5e or otherwise, and have only now realised the point of binding weapons with warlocks. I'm assuming it's best to just go ham and give them as powerful a 2-handed weapon as possible?

Give your warlock a huge sword and Great Weapon Master. Hit your enemies until they are dead. Season with Eldritch Blast and Hunger of Hadar to taste. Bing bang boom. That and your charisma letting you blow through dialogue makes warlock the true brainlet class but that's just fine by me

NeurosisHead posted:Lore Bard 6 can take Spirit Guardians for magical secrets, did you just want the cleric levels for Channel Divinity? Yeah that character was going to be a lore bard. My idea was to take channel divinity as a storm cleric to get create water to support the wizard and do maxed double damage themselves with lightning bolt or glyph or warding. You also get medium armor proficiency and shields from dipping cleric there, plus heavy armor and martial weapons from storm cleric. Since I posted that I had the thought I could do something like sorc 1/ lore bard 6/ paladin 5 so they get proficiency in constitution saves from starting sorc and can throw out smites in melee then try my best to always have exlixirs of peerless focus for them but then they can't use create water though which is crucial for the wizard. I guess I've come to the conclusion a sprit guardians focused build and a lightning focused wizard don't go together very well. A land druid probably goes better with a lightning wizard and something like, I don't know, warlock probably goes better with a spirit guardians debuffer. Theory crafting is probably my favorite thing in games like this though. I'm going to look more at what I could swap the lightning wizard out for, something ranged that can take advantage of debuffed physical saves most likely. In the meantime I'm pretty sure the ideal party for the lightning wizard would be them, a land druid of some flavor, a throwing barbarian, and a dual crossbow sword bard 6/thief 4/fighter 2 but that is very similar to what I did most of act 3 with on my last run. That bard might be the biggest one round single target damage in the game, it's what I used on my main character.

Spirit Guardians tend to synergize better with a more melee-centric party because enemies will all clump together where you can more easily stack radiant orbs and impose severe disadvantage simply by your Cleric running around to provoke attacks of opportunity. Then you don't need to worry much about Concentration breaking on surfaces at all since most Radiant AOEs don't hit allies.

Yeah I was going to put a monk and battlemaster with that build. I might just wait on that because I wanted to go evil this time and when Karlach eats a coin she actually gets an additional 2d4 unarmed damage even when not raging so she'd be the monk.

Goa Tse-tung posted:the weekend is saved, Lets loving Go I took a punt on using the WASD movement mod in combination with the camera mod I was already using now that most mods seem to be working again. It's crazy how well it works, to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if Larian had been toying with having a traditional 3rd person camera in place for much of development. The environments have so much detail that you simply wouldn't see otherwise.

They went to pretty great lengths to have completely voiced contingency cutscenes for nearly everything you might do to try to gently caress up the game. For example, there's one for (act 1 Durge) waiting until Alfira shows up at camp and then having somebody other than Durge kill her before you rest. Sceleretas Fel will show up and chastise you for biffing his easy layup, but he's sure you'll do better next time. No you don't get the cape if you do this.

I need some guidance here. I'm in Baldur's Gate, and talked to Investigator Dumbo, who gave me a pass to the lower city. However, when I go to the gate at the southern part they still block me and tell me no access, and I don't see a conversation option to use the pass. Any idea? Edit - NM, I thought the lower city was the gate south of Rivington, not the north part of the map. Durr Medullah fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Feb 24, 2024 |
