Aurora, Elven Beast Master: Sarevok And now for the foregone exciting conclusion of Aurora's BG1 run. Life is good for bow wielders in BG1. It's even better for bow wielders with a pip in slings. This was my smoothest Sarevok fight in recent memory. Aurora opened with an Arrows of...

Aurora, Elven Beast Master: The Dukes Jerry Seinfeld has a question. I was wondering the same thing, Jerry. In earlier editions of SCS, Slythe had a huge stack in PoIs, and was a substantive threat. Now he's an absolute pushover. I always, always, always roll into this encounter expecting a...

Aurora, Elven Beast Master: Candlekeep Aurora isn't a city girl, so our stay at the Gate was brief. We aided Nadine, did some shopping, grabbed the helm and that was it. Aurora's primary objective in this phase of the adventure was tome scoring. She grabbed three: dex, wisdom and...

Great question! I'll be handling that on a case by case basis. In the case of the Cloakwood spiders Aurora used Sandthief, as above :)

Aurora, Elven Beast Master: The Cloakwood Before heading into the Cloakwood, Aurora made a crucial purchase: the Sandthief Ring. Evil though they may be, the spiders of the Cloakwood are the forest's immune system. Age after age, they've warded off the infection of civilization, keeping the...

Thanks, Cahir! Cheers, A.

Has anyone here tried DEF JAM with the EE? The Read Me says EE compatibility is currently untested.

Aurora, Elven Beast Master: Bandit Camp The attentive reader will notice a small but significant change to Aurora's inventory. Did you catch it? If not, try again... That's right, intrepid friends: Aurora now has a ferret familiar. This is a shoutout to Dar, and his ferret familiars, which...

Aurora, Elven Beast Master: The Nashkel Mines to Bandit Camp Aurora is alike to Dar, but she has a Curupira streak in her too. Aurora abhors the exploitation of nature, and would gladly lead an animal uprising, if such a thing would lead to change. I like to think of her as a descendent of...

Aurora, Elven Beast Master: Early Adventures I enjoy the beast master kit. I don't understand why everyone hates it. If you focus on what beast masters can do, rather than what they can't, it's clear that they're fine. Beast masters are fun, too- there are plenty of ways to make the animal...

Good to know! Tiger is next level in comparison to Daly in more ways than one. Daly has won two majors, Tiger fifteen. Daly was found drunk outside of a Hooters once, Tiger is a sex addict who was arrested with five drugs in his system while behind the wheel. I wasn't entirely sure which...

Thanks my friend! I appreciate it! Cheers, A.

Tactics was ground breaking in its day. It opened the door to tactical play in the BG world, and for that I'll always remember it fondly. It didn't age particularly well, however. Tactics was clumsy at times, and it paid too little attention to unintended consequences. The added experience...

Footnote on Astrid's Game: I let Astrid retry the final battle in different ways. She can do it with the pools and without Mirroring, or with Mirroring and without the pools. Without the pools or Mirroring would be difficult. Cheers, A.

@OrlonKronsteen Tiger has some baggage in his golf bag, but I'll accept the comparison in the intended spirit, lol. And I hope the John Daly comparison proves apt for you. He did win the PGA Championship, after all ;)

Thank you for your interest. When I share my runs I angle for relatability, so I try to keep my installs more or less canonical. To me that means SCS + Ascension and little else. When it comes to kits, I'm pretty conservative. I won't even use the EE kits, let alone things like the Artisan...

Aurora, Elven Beast Master I expected that I'd take a break after Astrid's run. Instead I've decided to jump back into the action. Enter Aurora, Elven Beast Master Proficiencies: Quarterstaves x 2, Shotbows, Two-Handed Weapon Style, Two Weapon Style x 2 Mods: SCS 34.3, Ascension, G3 Fixpack-...

I agree 100%.That's the approach I've taken over the years too. For years I ran my solo characters on Core while at the same time knowing they could succeed at higher difficulties if I took some liberties, liberties that others took routinely. At present, with double damage removed, the...

Agreed. Someone with a G3 account should run it by them. Whether it was intentional or not, the original behavior should be restored.

Thanks, Serg! I'm happy with the way it ended. It's fitting for Astrid, in light of her nature as a character. She's a ruthless one, and she deserved to prevail through ruthlessness. I am, however, going to voluntarily withhold her from our Hall of Heroes, Deneir's Favorites, due to the use of...
