    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    Chromatic Orb comes with -6 penalty, so with save vs. spell 5 you should be safe even if the mage an invoker (I'm not sure if duals, such as this mage/thief, get assigned specializations by SCS).

    Oh yes, Dace the Ace they used to call him.

    In my install, the door will be open without any further interaction with Adalon and her illusion will automatically expire on the other side. This is what Edric did to escape in an alternative universe in which he hadn't died.

    As all UAI rogues, Edric had been facing a tough choice on what to take for his trip to Brynnlaw. Since I never seem to be able to convince Desharik to take us in, I usually leave two free slots - one for the wardstone, and the other for the Book of Infinite Spells. With potion case + gem bag +...

    I understand that @Finarfin has got this potion vendor available at the carnival, likely coming from the Unfinished Business mod. We specifically checked during our multiplayer game (hosted by me) and he wasn't there.

    I've really enjoyed reading all your posts, friends - it's delightful to see that both Ava and Luke have been thriving. Unfortunately, the same thing cannot be said for Edric, at least anymore. In fact, he was involved in a BG-equivalent of a car crash in the Kuo-Toa Tunnels. The autopsy report...

    Oh my, that's kind of you to say so. Though it should be mentioned that the first few chapters of BG1 are pleasantly straightforward with a BH, while the real challenges will come at a later stage. Anyway, I don't think I've ever properly studied Alesia's old run(s) - I might need to dive into...

    Edric, human bounty hunter: Part 6 - continued Now that the place was relatively clear, we took another rest in the stables after which we raided the guardhouse. Potion of Master Thievery + Mind Focusing allowed us to pick the lock on the chest containing a Potion of Magic Shielding. Our jog...

    Edric, human bounty hunter: Part 6 Guess who's got a new weapon! And a new cloak as well. The timing for acquiring the Dagger of Venom couldn't have been better. We were about to face hordes of spiders in the Cloakwood Forest and there are few more satisfying ways of dealing with them...

    Edric, human bounty hunter: Part 5 Alright, the bandit camp! This started as an infiltration and ended up in an open warfare - much to the dismay of the local junta. But let's not jump the gun and cover the events step by step. Upon arriving to the camp with Raiken, Edric took some time to...

    The Adventurer's Lounge: Guidance and Support for Candlekeep Annex Participants- Newbie or Veteran

    Got it, thanks! The majority of my hands-on experience with crafting a book comes from playing solo. That's one of the reasons why I'm not best positioned to opine on the topic in a party composition. The other reason is that I've never completed a no-reload, neither solo nor with a party...

    Hey there, hi there, Sucellus! Please allow me to extend a warm welcome from my end as well. First of all, I fully share your appreciation of the divine casters in the BG setting. And it's certainly not only me, so in case you're wondering, you've definitely come to a place where they're not...

    Edric, human bounty hunter: Part 4 Just a quick note on Edric's game to cover the Nashkel mines. And apologies for the sparse coverage, but I've got some serious catching up to do with both Edric and Ryland & Kalam. Since we didn’t want to fight a single kobold here unless absolutely...

    Edric, human bounty hunter: Part 3 The last missing pieces in Edric's inventory to facilitate smooth sailing going forward were the luxury accessories, some of which came with eye-wateringly high price tags. The talk isn't about a Patek Philippe, but mainly about the Claw and the Sandthief's...

    Edric, human bounty hunter: Part 2 Our primary goal for the session was to gain some extra muscle before moving on with the main plotline. And I'm sure you all know what that means. Yum, yum. Navigating Korax through the Basiliskville under stealth allowed Edric to reach level 6 with...

    But wouldn't that be...blasphemy? I mean being a child of Bhaal and all that. Anyway, I've yet to explore innovative ways of killing stuff, so I don't think I have the mental capacity to start thinking about innovative ways of not doing so, lol.

    That's great to hear! And you should certainly consider trying them out one day - they're loads of fun, even though you eventually might find their special traps slightly overpowered in the context of BG1.

    The Bounty Hunters' Association would hereby like to offer honorary membership to Ava. And Edric's pale with envy - his duel with Ruhk was much less elegant.

    Edric, human bounty hunter: Part 1 If there's one trait of Edric's that stands out, it's that he's systematic. He keeps his checklists. He plans ahead. He sets milestones when trying to achieve larger goals. He evaluates both success and failure. The best I could do as his operator was to try...
