This article is hilarious because like the author I didn’t know what I was doing and chose bard as my first character (still don’t know what I’m doing but I’m trying) and would do a lot of the same tricks he did. Pushing people off a ledge was my go to.

      When I tried to huck them into the river (specifically the invisible fucker near the boat in the shoreline encounter) and it wouldn’t let me? You’re gawdamned right, I was ready to be pissed if I couldn’t do likewise into the lava. Instead? Karlach tossed every dwarf she should reach… and they actually recorded audio for lava-induced death. 🥹 (At least the actor did for the main dwarf dude, IIRC)

        I feel like the careful design of encounters went out the window with Act 3. Twice this week I tried to use Telekinesis to throw someone and couldn’t because low railings were in the way. I’m also getting a ton more red lines when shoving people.

    Repelling eldritch blast, push, throw people, pushing unarmed attacks, pushing superiority attacks, pushing flourishes, repelling arrows… I love my toys.

    Weird to claim larian never meant you to play in a manner they specifically gave you the ability to do.

      It’s not a serious claim. It’s a funny article about how the author pushes people off cliffs instead of fighting enemies with swords and magic.

    The way I approach every fight:

    1. Is a fight inevitable?
    2. If so, sneak attack with each character to win surprise advantage, exploit terrain and plant bombs around them

    Only way to beat buddy in Shar’s temple actually

      I was happily able to kill him before he summoned anything by dropping him to 1hp and making him burn to death before he was able to
