Professor Beetus posted:Daylight's not concentration so how do you do this? Asking for a friend Uh It's been two months since I did the Cazador fight, so I'm probably misremembering and I just long rested before starting the dialogue instead. DeadlyMuffin, I am sorry for giving you misleading information. However, apparently you can actually get around this even without long resting, e.g. by recasting Daylight in a different area, or by sending the affected weapon to camp.

I'm going to have to rethink my Cazador approach the next time I see him because my 10,000 IQ method of "shoving him off a cliff" was sadly nerfed by Larian.

I assume you can still just cast light on yourself and sit just outside of dialogue range, or throw a lit weapon in his vicinity.

Light and Light of Lethander aren’t a problem. Daylight will damage all the NPCs and make them run away, locking out dialogue options (that include helping Astarion be a better person). You can change weapons or cast it elsewhere before starting the dialogue, but don’t forget to do it.

It could be this got patched or its just inconsistent. I put the globe dead center in the middle of the arena so.

I was still able to get light side Astarion but I couldn't get the staff so all the thralls remained locked up. The Gur at least were still happy that their kids were alive and I assume they'll eventually figure something out with those doors.

Berserker Barbarian Karlach is overpowered in Honor Mode and definitively better than EK because prone prevents Legendary Actions. Damage output is no longer monstrous but accuracy is still great. Karlach is actually quite a lot behind Monk Astarion, Sorcerer Durge and even Bard/Wizard Minthara in terms of damage output but her single special ability to consistently knock prone is gamebreaking.

Had a funny series of events with the Zhentarim questline in Act 1. So I went into the cave where Rugan and Olly were and did that Gnoll Fight from there. Both of them died during it. I used speak with dead to talk to Rugan and he spilled the beans about the shipment and the password to the hideout. So I made my way over to the hideout and talked my way in, but the Zhentarim leader (whose name I forgot) asked me to retrieve the shipment as a price for them not killing me. I informed her that I already found it and that Rugan and Olly died. She cursed and asked if I had the shipment. I did but...I must have put it on another NPC that wasn't in my party at the time (or maybe sent it to my camp). So I told her I had it but lost it and she flipped her poo poo and the whole place attacked me lol. I was fine with it and killed them all. More loot for me, plus the Zhentarim are assholes anyways. Kinda funny how it all played out though. It's cool that Rugan dying didn't lock me out of that questline.

I haven't really looked into this since I've been mostly playing with default everything so far, but does it break the story in any way if you change your companions' classes? Or can you respec them willy-nilly without the plot getting messed up?

No. Make Gale a barbarian, Lae'zel a bard, and Karlach a wizard. Everything's on the table (but their stories will stay the same).

Does anyone know (Zhentarim spoilers) if not dealing with them in act 1 means a much different fight with the guild in act 3? Because the Zhent got clowned hard in my last run, not a single guild ally died or even dropped to half damage and the Zhent felt extremely weak, outclassed by pretty much all the guild folk. I imagine if the big group from Act 1 gets to go to BG, it becomes a much more even fight?

ARGH, I had a perfect Raphael battle, banishing Korilla before I nuked everything and then beat Raphael into pulp. But the battle didn't end because Korilla was still alive and I forgot I was supposed to non-lethal her. So I turned off banish and the turn order was Yurgir who immediately killed her. This is something I'd reload for but alas honor mode. Incidentally, globe of invulnerability still trivializes the fight regardless of the legendary actions.

DeadlyMuffin posted:Stupid question: how do you cancel spells? I just wait for them to time out, which is funny. I feel like you should just be able to stop concentrating if you want. One note for controller/PS5 is that it's very wonky and the disable spell button might not appear on the scroll wheel. In that case you'll have to set it yourself to use it. I found that out about disguise self. I thought you had to long rest to disable it.

The Lord Bude posted:He’s a vampire. Cast daylight. I figured something so basic wouldn't work. Khizan posted:It's also a good time to break out the Blood of Lathandar, if you have it. Never going to get rid of that. When i realized its secondary damage was fire not radiant it became way more useful. I also realized i could just, switch out Asterion before the battle so I can just kill Cazador without dealing with rescuing him. But that doesn't help with the skelly mage, because somehow his sleep/eyebite spell has a 100% success rate, while when i use it, its like 10%.

Lvl 3 Fog Cloud blinds Cazador but not the bats and has no effect on a daylight enchanted weapon. It doesn’t have to be level 3 that’s just what I had at the time. I’m not even sure if his legendary triggers if he can’t see you approaching.

Yea I gave alert to everyone because it was super helpful to have all my party go fairly closet together, and before enemies. Though Cazador has a +9 to initiative so he's always going first.
