FYI the episode discussions on [email protected] are automated by a bot (the same used on Reddit in fact) and us Kbin users can’t see bot posts, so it looks like there are none. I have high hopes that the next big Kbin update remedies this issue.

Cleric has a domain for basically everything in it, you can run a whole party of them and not suffer from the lack of any role.

Oh, we’re thinking of completely different book then! I was cryptic as to not spoil anything (Kbin still doesn’t have spoiler tags) but I meant the wannabe Necronomicon in the apothecary’s basement.

I just threw it on the ground, it never took damage for me (I did it yesterday in fact on my new character and it worked fine). I do throw it only so far as to not be in the trap’s range, so it might be that you are chucking it too far?

I used it a whole 2 times in my entire playthrough. Once to get a certain book from it’s trapped pressure plate by throwing it, another to help a certain dwarf from his predicament. The biggest thing that stops me from experimenting more with it is it’s limitation to once per short rest and only being present for 10 turns. I get that it’s for combat balancing purposes but it does make me just never bother summoning it. Wish they removed that limitation, gave it more utility uses and just completely disabled it’s combat abilities instead.

Karlach is a simple gal, Duergar are bad slavers, Nere is bad Absolutist and also a slaver. Why side with either when you can chop both into pieces and kill two slaver birds with one greataxe!

Nah, I don’t want anything fucking with my dice rolls, especially in combat. If I stack AC, I should be an unhittable tank. If they only worked for skill checks, I would probably leave them on to help with unlucky streaks but even those I can just save scum.

This spell is amazing. My PC ranger single-handedly shut down some encounters just by using this spell, defending the portal in Act 2 was a breeze when most of the enemies killed themselves on the spikes before they even reached it. Well worth dropping concentration from Hunter’s Mark if the terrain works well with it.

Yeah, I don’t know why they didn’t bring the Day/Night cycle and Fatigue mechanics from the previous games, it made resting feel much more natural. You even had inns that gave you more healing depending on the quality of room you choose. I know that the companions say they are exhausted, but they like to do so while I barely done anything and still have most of my resources available. In BG1/2 when I heard my companions complain, you bet I’m looking for a safe spot to rest, Fatigue debuffs were no joke!

If you don’t care about the lives of the slaves trapped in with him then sure, you can consider it a win.

Yeah, this is just plainly untrue. All it takes is getting their approval anywhere beyond medium (for some even that’s not required) and doing their specific personal quest objectives and they are down to fuck IMMEDIATELY. Ironically in my playthrough, despite not once giving them any signals I’m down, the only companion who didn’t try to bone down with me was Karlach, the most openly horny one.

I don’t know why our poor shorty races are so under-represented, Larian did a fantastic job on their models! Compared to male elves and tieflings, the dwarf and gnome selection is vastly superior. And gnome racials are absolutely crazy, who wouldn’t want advantage on all the most debilitating saves!?

If by rolling I loose characters I’m invested in and my only options are 3 Charisma rolls on my 10 Charisma character, each with a 15 skillcheck? You bet I’m save scumming the fuck out of that! Otherwise I’ll use Inspiration and only save scum if I have both proficiency and a high ability score and the dice decide they don’t feel like rolling above 3 today.

All of them combined, my total never went above 3GB with them limited to 10 each. The save files did get smaller in later game as inaccessible areas from previous acts get purged.

You can change it at any point, but if you don’t care about your saves getting into the 10+GB in size then leave it.

The game has an insanely high number of saves it keeps by default, 20 for both auto saves and quick saves. I reduced it to 10 for both as I never need to go that far back (or if I want the option I just make a manual save), that alone will cut your Steam Cloud size in half.
EDIT - The number is actually 25, even higher than I remembered.
