Iona, Human Sorceress: Part 1 You might've noticed that Iona's starting L1 spell pick was Burning Hands. Awkward as it may be, Iona v1 pushed me to reconsider the spell's value and I ended up making a 180 degree turn from completely disregarding it for its uselessness to actually appreciating...

Iona, Human Sorceress: Introduction Game version: BGEE 2.6.6.0 (no SoD) Difficulty: Insane Mods: SCS (v34.3) with all tactical and AI components; BG Tweaks (cosmetic changes) Modified SCS components: Giant Spiders (Tactical) Following up on my previous post, please allow me to present to...

¡Hola! I've got good news and bad news and then hopefully some more good news. And then I've got a complaint to make. The good news is that Iona's made significant progress in the past couple of sessions. In fact, she's into her 3rd HLA and has just completed Planar Prison as the last...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Part 4 Iona was almost ready for the bandit camp - she had the intel, she had the supplies, and all that she was missing was a professional thief. With that in mind, she returned to the Coast Way to see if Imoen would be willing to accompany her. While her journey was...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Part 3 - continued We concluded the session in Beregost. First, allow me please to showcase the extraordinary abilities of Tranzig, who's posed to become the number one on my list of most annoying enemies of BG1. Since Iona was buffed with Resist Fear and II, there was...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Part 3 Using MIs to foil the two traps at the bridge, Iona made her way through Nashkel Mines under Invisibility. Wearing the Girdle of Bluntness and buffed with ProUndead, Shield, ProEvil, and II, she approached Mulahey and triggered her MI+Luck sequencer. Apparently...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Part 2 - continued Onwards to the Fire Leaf Forest. Zal had to fight his charmed buddy and that very same charmed buddy then fell to Iona's leftover MMMs. For Sendai's crew, we buffed with MIs + II and opened with Luck. Sendai then went to take a nap following our...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Part 2 Hey, hey! I'm behind with posting on Iona's progress, but rest assured that she's well and alive. For now, let's continue from where we left off the last time and briefly cover the build-up for the Nashkel Mines. Having reached level 6 by the end of the first...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Part 1 - continued Moving on to Mutamin's Garden, Korax and Iona's petrification-immune familiar made a splendid duo against the basilisks. We even managed to drop an MMM scroll from one of the greater basilisks, which will come in handy later on. We then...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Part 1 First of all, I apologize for omitting some important information in the original introductory post. I have now edited it to at least include the install details. I'll also note that Iona's starting spells were Find Familiar, Shield, and Blindness as the...

I thought you said you were a softie...

Rasaad had a bad day in the office as well...

@Alesia_BH It's great to hear that Alastria's making such progress! Good luck with Bodhi and the rest of SoA! And don't worry about Iona in case you decide to keep Alastria behind the scenes for now. Although she'd of course be happy to see a friend in the thread, she's not all alone out there...

Iona, Human Illusionist: Introduction Ok everyone, I'm pleased to introduce you to my new character and a successor to the late Alagar - Iona. Game version: BGEE 2.6.6.0 (no SoD) Difficulty: Insane Mods: SCS (v34.3) with all tactical and AI components; BG Tweaks (cosmetic changes)...

Correct! I'm thinking about putting the Reflex effect back on to make it easier to assess what's going in the heat of the battle, keeping only the removal of blur effect from the Claw and Cloak of Displacement. That's an interesting point. However, there certainly is a window with the EE Maze...

You're very close! After we touched upon the interaction between Physical Mirror and trap projectiles in the Lounge, I was trying to think of any other spells or abilities that would be capable of producing a similar effect. The only thing I could come up with was the Reflex, but I quickly...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Final Update My playing got out of sync with my posting and it's my sad duty to report that Alagar didn't make it out of Spellhold. While his death falls into a very niche category, it's 100% legitimate and there's no other way but to accept the failure. Kudos...

They had been there ever since the original game I believe. There's a second section of the cave if you walk straight ahead from the entrance, with two hulks and a couple of "containers".

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 15 The current shoulder season in the Umar Hills offered the promise of little crowds and favorable accommodation rates. We wanted to get there as soon as possible, but first we had to go through Alagar's checklists and fill the identified gaps in his...

Wondering where to best do that...somewhere in South America maybe? 😁
