Wild Shapes that do not have weapons will now benefit from having the Tavern Brawler feat.

Gonna be a barBearian now.

inasaba, in Baldur's Gate 3 player traps themselves in Hell by casting Silence on the Devil himself

The bit of text about Ethel offering an out surprises me: I’ve done that fight around eight times and she has never once offered me the option.

csfirecracker,

In the first Ethel fight you need to let her take her turn when she’s at like, 10-15% HP and she’ll offer to give you power (+1 to any stat) if you let her and Mayrina go. If you pass a high intimidate or deception roll you can save Mayrina and get the buff. (Warning though: doing this breaks paladin oath if you care)

inasaba,

I guess I just kill her too effectively!

I assumed the +1 would come with a curse and finished her off!

csfirecracker,

Nope, just a straight +1 to any stat. You have to eat a gross magic piece of her scalp though to get it

I mean… I can still take some scalp if that’s what I need…

And for anyone who wants to cheat it on a paladin just make sure someone else is closer to Ethel than your paladin. Doesn’t count as breaking your oath if someone else does the conniving. Also she starts the conversation with the closest person. Make sure you change the auto select character after combat to off in settings or this will all have been for naught.

Man, that takes me back to the unforgiving text adventure games of yore. A simple screw up in any of the early Sierra titles, or Zork or even the Hugo titles, will condemn you to an unwinnable game without telling you.

DonnieDarkmode, in TIL: You can view fall distance in Combat Log

I wonder why they decided to crank up fall damage compared to tabletop. A fall from that height in 5e is 3d6 bludgeoning

Dran_Arcana,

Probably to make maps require less verticality for the mechanics they wanted. It’d be pretty hard to manage a camera angle at larger discrepancies for the same function. Either that or to make ranged builds more viable with major verticality in maps

It's also possible in 5e for a raging barbarian to fall an indeterminate distance at free fall and never die from it. You could orbital shock drop a gang of bugbears onto your opponent's military encampment from literal space, and every one of them would stand up ready to fight as long as they started the fall with greater than 60 hit points.

In short, 5e rules for falling damage are pretty silly and it's best to ignore or re-rule those if you expect to use it in any sort of sensible situation.

Asifall,

Probably to make it feel more realistic. It would be strange if you could fall 50 feet and only take 17 damage

I tend to stay away from the combat log. I don’t need to be reminded how much my dice hate me.

Linuto, in Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3

Starting my 2nd playthrough with a lolth sworn drow cleric(1) bard(11) build. Going dark urge, but not evil.

I like the idea that through my character’s relationship to an evil deity, they recognize the dark urge is something wholly other than Lolth’s influence. So lawful evil in the sense that, “yeah I’ll be evil, but not because you told me to.”

netwren, in Thanks for the help

What’s the pancake combo. Asking for a friend

troglodytis,

It’s when you get sucked dry, then killed. Karlach is always down for a good time

netwren,

Ohhhh

Meuzzin, in Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3

I’m on my 2nd playthrough, after ending my first abruptly in Act 2 (Someone here knows how that happens). Currently just hit Act 2 in my new game. Going on 458 Hours total. Think that includes OA time as well…

I love chucking a bottle of water at her to get a smooch in. Ray of frost also works.

thesprongler, in Baldur's Gate 3's Japan Release Removes Romping And Torture

I’m confused by this, considering the absolutely depraved games coming out of Japan. Looking at you, Atlus. Or is anime depravity okay?

hexabs, in [Spoiler] Was that Aang who just ran past?

Is it Easter? Because damnn… You found an egg

intro, in Toast it for me?

I need to eat warm mommy’s muscles in order to settle down.

Stety,

Mmmmm cannibalism

Please keep posting things. I haven’t sat down to translate it myself, but you can find plenty of charts online for the Infernal alphabet. There is absolutely no reason to believe this is made up when so much D&D information is out there.

Note that no real proof or breakdown is actually given.

This is an article reporting on absolutely nothing.

Bbbbbbbbbbb, (edited )

For those wondering, someone translated this from the Infernal scribed on her horn.

“My champion, the Demonsbane. My blood is her strength!”

Karlach also has Zariel tattooed on her body among other things.

Where’s the proof, though?

Jorgelino, (edited )

It’s Infernal. The language is detailed in the adventure module Descent Into Avernus. You can also just find the infernal alphabet on the forgotten realms wiki. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/a/ab/Infernal_script.jpg/revision/latest/thumbnail/width/720/height/900?cb=20230711053323

That is to say that it’s very possible to translate it. Now as to whether OP’s translation is accurate or not, i have no idea, cause i have better things to do than read fake text out of an NPCs horn.

tetris11,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

Wow, thanks for the follow up

Fades, (edited )

OP posts lots of articles that have little substance to many subs, not surprised in the least

To be fair though, they do post a lot of quality too. Seems they should slow down and read what they post a little more carefully

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

I read the article. I read everything I post first.

But don’t worry. I won’t waste your time by posting here anymore.

LyingCake,

Girl was stopped

metallic_z3r0,

You can waste my time by posting here, I’ve seen many of your contributions and I greatly appreciate your efforts. I don’t usually say anything though. That other guy can fuck off.

papalonian,

A lot of people have been hyper critical about the content people have been posting, and even more upset when it’s one person posting a lot. I don’t know where they expect to get content from.

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Especially since the people who seem to complain the most never post anything themselves.

SeethingSloth, in Larian Studios Reveals Impressive Optimization Efforts for Xbox Series S Port of Baldur's Gate 3 - IGN

It already runs a lot better on Steam Deck than what it used to around launch. The series S port really helps with that, probably.
