Sorsha, human bard: Part 40 - continued Even though I did not remember much details about fighting Nizidra, I was aware of the key facts - he dishes out acid damage, uses Insect Plague-like ability, punches really hard and is a lousy spellcaster. With that in mind, our plan was to do this in a...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 40 Our progress in Suldanessellar would be swift were it not for the excessive numbers of tenacious rakshasas. Fortunately, the city's layout allowed us to take advantage of our speed and separate our enemies. Divide and conquer. At the time we already knew that...

@JustKneller Not sure if it's a good answer, but the solution is metagaming - knowing beforehand where these potentially game-ending traps are makes it possible to counter them (either through saving throws, magic resistance or corresponding protections/immunities). Damage traps or traps that...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 39 Entering a vampire lair with Azuredge, iMod and Amulet of Power feels more like pest control rather than adventuring. But thank you for coming along anyway Eric, much appreciated! Del and the first few vampires gave us the opportunity to test our freshly forged...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 38 [Apparently the links to the previous posts are counted towards the text limitations of a post, so I will no longer be including these.] Sorsha's next destination was the Twisted Rune. Our preparations involved SI: Abjuration contingency (See Enemy), Potion of Cloud...

Just in case you've been struggling with the Monday blues, here's a picture of a kitten Sorsha chunking Gorch with the Holy Avenger to cheer up your day: B.

Sorsha, human bard: Part 37 - continued And Kangaax? Lol, this is clearly absurd! But to Sorsha's defense - this was actually a battle of truly epic proportions that had cost us 2x Potions of Magic Shielding, 1x Potion of Invulnerability, 2x Oil of Speed and 2x Potion of Regeneration (despite...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 36 - continued While I had initially toyed with the idea of death by Kachiko, Sorsha insisted that Firkraag doesn't deserve the satisfaction of knowing that we're doing something special for him. Instead, she rushed in heads-on in the most barbaric fashion, waving her...

Not sure about the legacy behaviour, but I did run some tests on my install (BG2EE v 2.6.6.0, SCS v 34.3) with the following results: Spell Shield provides full protection against the anti-magic ray (AMR), including both the dispel effect as well as the disable magic use effect. Spell Shield...

This BG wiki article corresponds to what I've observed: "With the exception of Resist Magic, the Magic Resistance spell, its Wish equivalent and Wild Surge #26 “Globe of Invulnerability”, all spell protections are entirely unaffected by Dispel Magic and do not cease to function in dead magic...

I'm so sorry - I had a brutal typo there. What I wanted to say is that it does NOT dispel GoI...

While putting together the latest post, I got this idea for a pop-up poll: Which particular area of the entire trilogy is your favorite one (not necessarily content-wise, but more in terms of overall vibes / atmosphere or any other kind of appeal that it may have to you personally)? It seems...

Interesting! Must be the rifts in the spacetime continuum then. (Thanks for checking!)

Re Time Traps: It's now positively confirmed that, in certain instances (but not always), our Time Trap triggers twice in a row. It's clearly a bug, but unfortunately I've not been able to find any info on this yet. The way it usually occurred is that after the first 10 second time stop window...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 34 - continued The drow party guarding the exit was next. We were determined to splash everything we had. This included Spike Trap… Everard… Dual-wielding scimitars... Time Trap (we only had access to one Time Trap per rest at the time - the one used against the...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 34 - continued Onto the Demogorgon. We knew that the demon knights here would be brutal, but what makes this battle navigable is the fact that they're all the same. It's easier to manage one type of threat, even when if it's quadrupled in volume. And Sorsha can deal...
