the correct way to do it is to chug a jump potion or cast enhance leap on a high strength character, turn on turn based mode, jump to the husband's bag, give him a misty step scroll, jump to the noblestalk, jump to the little cave with llolth candles, then jump back to origin and talk to the husband again.

OzFactor posted:Controversial Elixirchat: I think the game would be significantly more balanced if elixirs didn't last until long rest. Even if they weren't round-based like potions but cleared with short rests. You really shouldn't be able to totally dump your primary stat as a martial class. Maybe instead of changing elixirs they should bring back stat requirements for classes, is that one of those things that does exist in 5E but not in the game? Anyway I fully realize I am being the fun police here. unquestionably. was also thinking it's time for a new House Rule at the end of my last run.

Solo Wing Pixy posted:I mean, you might as well role play in a role playing game, right? Besides the Blood Lady thing, I've just had Astarion (and maybe Minthara now) using brain worms, simply because I don't like the idea of my character using them, let alone pressuring other people to use them. It's maybe not something you could get away with on Honor or whatever, but I'm playing on normal loser mode so no worries the bex and danis reunion scene, and a scene i won’t spoil for you, is so good and basically all that gets me through an otherwise dreary act 2, and why I will never be able to complete a truly evil run. fwiw you can easily get away with not using worms on hm. I didn’t use them on my non solo party run and I wouldn’t say they were essential to the solo run. screw em.

wizard2 posted:a big bag of assorted rings and necklaces is a pro strat. weighs almost nothing, you can swap them out on the fly as the need arises. yup. never sell rings or amulets, just shove them in the magic stuff bag. OzFactor posted:I have let her choose and she chose violence on a play through where I just didn’t talk to her much. If you don’t have a definitely positive relationship with her then you should give her a nudge just in case. She just needs to feel like she has something (or someone) else to believe in, even just a little bit. "not being miserable" is shar though. her whole thing is appealing to miserable people and replacing the misery, and everything, else with nothing.

Dick Trauma posted:On Reddit I found these instructions. I'm trying to follow along and if you respec to get the medicine skill and boost Wisdom it takes you back to L1 bard. So I do that , get medicine and pump Wisdom to 16, and confirm, now it's ready for my L2 choices, where I think I choose Wizard and the transmutation school from the multiclass button. I had another level ready so I switch back to Bard and pick College of Lore and click the little check box to boost Medicine, and at that point I'm out of stored levels. The hireling is an L3 bard L2 wizard (transmutation). So... as I level my regular party I should level this camp hireling in Wizard exclusively? Do I have to wait until they reach L3 Bard L6 Wizard to start making potions? for your alchemist, you want Brinna because halflings reroll on a 1. you want her to have two levels in transmutation wizard, because they make double potions on a successful medicine roll. you want her to have max wisdom, because medicine is a wisdom roll. you want her to have levels in lore bard because you want proficiency and expertise in medicine, and bards get that early. the final thing you want is the enhance ability spell so you get advantage on wisdom rolls. this will succeed nearly every medicine check. have someone toss guidance on her too. how you put that together isn't really important. I generally just soak up ingredients until level 8 or so for double wisdom ASI feats and make a big batch, then another big batch in act 3. edit: you can get a ton of bang for your buck if you remember to check vendors for ingredients like hyena ears and cloud giant fingers. potion ingredients show up before the potions themselves for an easy power boost, and there's a neat weapon coating that doesn't drop organically made from frost salamander tongues.

Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:I just started playing this game with my wife. We're both new to the game. I'm vaguely familiar with DnD and my wife knows fantasy's stuff. We're playing on the lowest difficulty, so we can't multiclass. I read the first post. Anything else we should look out for? if you post your class we can give you a build that'll carry for murderhobo wife, but on the lowest difficulty you can really just kick back and enjoy the story.

there isn't really a good reason to stay with dual xbows on sword bard once you get titanstring bow or the deadshot, so it's basically for throwbarbs and OH monks.

sword bard wants high per-shot main hand damage because of flourishes, so you generally only want to run xbows in the early game. not to say that you can't run it to end of game if you like the pistols at dawn aesthetic, though. edit: though i feel you must then run Marksmanship Hat.

Nihonniboku posted:What do you do late game in that case? I just got to Act III, and the flourishes were still pretty handy taking out Myrkul. I managed to kill him in just 3 turns, and the first turn was just getting people in place to takeout the mindflayer, and freeing Aydin, with Tav as an open handed monk, Astarion as dual crossbow bard, La'zael as a straight up fighter, and Shadowheart as a straight up cleric. to be clear, xbows are more than good enough to finish the game with. titanstring/deadshot are just better, so if you're going to be doing optimized multiclassing, you might as well do that.

Nihonniboku posted:Gotcha, thanks. So you just use 1 crossbow or regular bow with that? I'll have to look into that. i use titanstring bow (zhent vendor in act 1) with giant strength elixirs. it adds your strength bonus to damage so you're getting +10 flat per flourish, which is very nice in early, and stays solid through the whole game since you get cloud giant elixirs later. deadshot with bloodlust elixirs is also an option in act 3.

Kawabata posted:Myrkul's another absolute dogshit encounter that will shred through most party compositions on tactician. No melee fighters can stand in front of him because they can never heal. The necromites are annoying as gently caress and you need to have a way to kill the eggs at all times. You need static long duration spells like wall of fire and the like, basically a tailored party and some luck to beat him. Which means a reload and a considerable waste of your time is what ultimately beats Myrkul. i killed him on honor mode with one guy

Jack Trades posted:D&D is such a stupid system. The game gives me an insanely high level spell, Power Word Kill, and limits it to one use ever because it's supposed to be such a big deal, and the spell is still a worse use of a single action than spending it on just me whacking a dude with a sword. you always have to keep in mind the subtext of all three games that the dead three are dumb as poo poo and not very powerful, e.g., the slayer also sucks. i think it's a funny running joke.

skill issue. I loot everything, toss it in one of the many backpacks I looted, and send it to camp if I run out of carry capacity. when it's time to do a sell run I go to the vendor, go to camp, dump all the items in one backpack and then on my face guy (the game will let you go massively overweight like this), then mass add them to wares and sell them. takes no time at all. path of exile dump tab technique ftw.
