My guess? It's all very simple. Rachael wanted to go to the Olympics, so she came up with a plan involving her husband. He didn't turn her down because he didn't want to rock the boat relationship wise. Not too long ago I met a first time author whose husband was a publisher. She came up with a...

Say what you will about Raygun, but this is the most iconic dance move of the Olympics, possibly the decade. Also, this is how I'm cleaning the kitchen floor for the rest of my life

Agreed. That's part of the transition from soloing to partying. Many of the items we soloist concentrate on our PC should be distributed among characters in party play. The missile weapon AC items in BG1 are the first and best example. Anyhoo, glad to see Orrin making progress!

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Suldanessellar- Aerie Get Out Your Cane, Part 2 Apologies for reusing this post's subtitle, Aerie Get Out Your Cane. I can't help myself. I kind of love it. For those who don't know, it's a reference to a lyric from a song, Carey, off my...

Orrin is looking great, by the way! I love the way you’re handling the encounters, with straight up fair fights. You’re playing BG1 with a lot more command and confidence than I did. Excellent work. Keep it rolling!

Correct. I gave up the game in the 4pm version of the Kangaxx battle, lol. Lich immunities don’t apply to the Spell Sheild. Since L3 isn’t very useful in a lich battle, generally speaking, our mages should have been packing Spell Thrusts at L3 to free up L6s.

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: A Side Battle for Funsies- Kangaxx, 4pm Version Ok. You saw the 4am version of the Kangaxx fight. Here's the 4pm version. What a different sobriety and recent experience can make. Let's cover this quick. Aerie opens with a Holy Word...

I’m going to need a little help with this one. What’s up with the moss?

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Kangaxx Well, we won. That's the only positive thing I have to say about the Kangaxx battle. I did a straight up awful job in this fight, primarily because I haven't fought it in awhile. How long is awhile, you ask? I have no idea. That's...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: The Crooked Cane Lich I know, I know: The Crooked Cane lich doesn't deserve his own post. He's not that scary. I'm only doing it because we're off to fight Kangaxx next, and I don't want to junk up that post. So, why are we even here...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Firkraag Onto the Windspear Hills to face Firkraag, an enemy that Alena surely won't get the kill on. Right? Right? We'll see about that. First off, I'll note that we were ambushed by rhakshasas on the way to Uncle Firkel's Pleasure Palace...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Thaxll'ssillyia Thaxll'ssillyia was next on the hit list. This fight went reasonably well, although Alena did take damage from a wing buffet. Time to prep. We went with a stripped down enemy specific buff list here. It was topped off with...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: The Guarded Compound- Hella Good Bodhi is dead. Suldanessallar awaits. That means it's time to face all those big, bad baddies we've been saving till the end. We began with the lowest hurdle, the Guarded Compound. I was nervous about this...

Btw, if you’d like to continue this discussion, Black Elk, let’s move it over to the Adventurer’s Lounge 🙂

LoB mode is silly, but we’re silly creatures. LoB mode is the Supreme brand of difficulty settings. They’ve created an elite category in the laziest possible way and people can’t resist because we’re suckers for social status competition. It’s an easily exploited quirk of our primate brains...

Thanks for sharing! It's a reasonable suggestion, just not for me Long ago I made a strategic decision to not setup a G3 account. I didn't want to be nudged into lengthy theoretical or technical discussions. I prefer to keep my feet firmly planted on the player side of the player/developer...

Congrats, Wise! Best of luck in SoD!

Thanks for the input, Enuhal. After thinking it over, I’m pretty sure I’m going to proceed. I don’t want to let Boo down. (Getting back here wouldn’t be difficult, but I surely wouldn’t want to do two canon party runs consecutively.) I just wish the spell slot allocations were different...

That makes sense. I was considering something similar: continue on allowing one HLA per character

In the general case, I’d agree. This just comes down to the particulars of the allocations David chose and the idiosyncrasies of my playing style. I’m good at remaining untargetable, and David just happened to crowd out the best tools against untargetable opponents with single target spells. I...
