Edric, human bounty hunter: Introduction Technical Notes: Game version: BGEE 2.6.6.0 Mods: SCS v35.25, BG Tweaks (cosmetic changes) SCS install: all tactical components and AI enhancements, limited spell revisions (only core spell-system changes, rebalancing of powerful spells, spells increased...

That's a pretty solid balance sheet! Is Jarlaxe is planning to buy some premium real estate in the Gate? I've heard that Entar's place might go for sale in Chapter 7. Anyway, great progress and keep up the good work!

Thank you for the intel, @Serg_BlackStrider! I suppose it now makes sense - Maneira is a sword spider. I'll take comfort from the fact that her fifth pip has not been allocated in single weapon style and therefore the stream of uninterrupted critical hits at 5 APR in melee remains an unlikely...

And she's not even a good thief.

Coincidentally, I've had a close call with them as well recently. This happened during my current single player run with a bounty hunter (yep, I'm riding the BH train again) whom I'm planning to introduce into the thread soon. The source of my woes was also Maneira, although in my case it...

Ryland (human blade) & Kalam (halfling assassin by @Finarfin), multiplayer run: Part 11 - Sarevok Kalam's ProMagic, that we had used for Slythe and the palace, expired just as we arrived at the Temple of Bhaal in the Undercity. In a single player run, it's usually possible to carry it over...

Ryland (human blade) & Kalam (halfling assassin by @Finarfin), multiplayer run: Part 10 - Slythe and the Dukes With all the tomes and Bhaalspawn powers under our belt, we were finally ready for the finale at the Gate. Our plan was to go big with a ProMagic scroll and sweep through the last...

I'm afraid I've got to make a confession here - this was me unpausing the game while @Finarfin was peacefully browsing through his inventory, lol. Sorry about that, mate! Also, trying finish Rezdan and Drasus with that scorcher was a silly silly idea. High risk, uncertain outcome. It's a small...

That's precisely the reason why I wanted to re-run Iona and try a more direct and confident approach with the PIs. I experimented a little with her old saves and I've encountered one issue that has forced me to return to the drawing board with her book. Death Fog can be a bit clumsy when trying...

While I'd love to do that sometimes in RL during the summer, in BG I like to let the elements run their course, so no.

Huh? I'm not sure when was the last time my character had to swing an unenchanted scimitar, but unless my memory has eroded beyond relief, I'm fairly confident there was a time when I was rushing to trigger Dorn's encounter en route to Nashkel Mines to get a replacement from Senjak for all the...

I'll chip in with an observation that I've made while playing Mephala on Insane in SoA, whereby some high level mages have been very aggressive in using Dimension Door to teleport on top of her at relatively long distances. I've seen it with the Shadow Temple liches, the Warden, Sion, Lavok, and...

Agreed! I was thinking more like the Honorable Mentions section, for first time entrant, but don't have strong views for the exact category.

Oh, wow. That sounds like an awful way to go! Talos should probably see a therapist. Anyway, thanks for the warning and I hope Ava's second attempt will feature less frequent force majeure events!

Ryland (human blade) & Kalam (halfling assassin by @Finarfin), multiplayer run: Part 6 - Into the Cloakwood Forest (continued) Oh! Darling! Kalam and his Ringo of Free Action were the Starrs of our spider forest campaign. Wearing the Girdle of Piercing and running a green ProPoison scroll, he...

Ryland (human blade) & Kalam (halfling assassin by @Finarfin), multiplayer run: Part 6 - Into the Cloakwood Forest Steams of smoke - rising from whatever was left of the bandit camp following our assault - were still visible on the eastern horizon when we got waylaid by Molkar's crew. Following...

Image for a second a world in which it's Ajantis, and not Jaheira, who appears locked up in that cage next to you in Irenicus' dungeon. Yeah?!

@Finarfin Great stuff! Fusrodah certainly deserves the Calder Trophy for the most outstanding rookie of the year (or maybe decade)! As for my "contribution", I've only shared what I've learned from all the veterans here and elsewhere to provide a basic crash course in field medicine, however...

Not that I'd know better than you, but since I've been reading through Arkona's run recently I can confirm that it did include both. Here's the link to Serg's backup in case anyone'd be interested in some halfling punk action...

Yes, I could see why you appreciate M/Ts so much - they're really fun and versatile and, one could say, powerful. I'll certainly want to revisit the class sooner than later. As for the next one, I think that Iona the Sorceress could see a comeback, as her adventure still feels somehow...
