    Rogue is one route for that. Another, aligning with my AC obsession :), is Ranger, with Ranger Knight Favoured Enemy and Urban Tracker Natural Explorer. This gave me Gale with AC 20/21 at lvl 5. But using Ranger or Rogue "robs" me of at least one level of ESL, hence ATM me favourite manner of...

    @S'task thumbs up for lore/RP fidelity. You are a better person than I. I do not respecify the Origins, as non-optimised as they are, limiting myself to multiclassing. The exception being Karlach (which I leave with original attributes) - I understand her anger managment issues, but in my eyes...

    Larian succumbed to the "I want to eat my cake and have it too" whinos ... :( You could recruit her without killing anybody at the Grove (personally, that is. The killing is done by Gawblins off screen) by ignoring the big Act 1 quests and making a beeline for Moonsrise Towers. I've done it on...

    I always did it violently :( Maybe through some dialogue options concerning the juvenile delinquent? Goblin lass? The brawl inside Druid Grove between Zevlor and the Mercenary Captain? Breaking/stealing the Bard's lute? Letting the Gith Psychobitch bully Zorru? Bullying the Hobbit you save in...

    There was an interesting post on Larian Studios board, namely, that Japanese players have no idea what is going on in the game. Anybody heard anything about this? Korea same? I will copy and paste and link as IMO interesting...

    It's the learning curve :) I got regulary TPKed at the beginning. Now, with save scumming, I get to midway of Act 2 with a three strong party on Tactician. You can do it! There is a gazillion of little things to learn - like that drinking a Health Potion ends the Burning Condition - i.e. if you...

    After exploring the beach and catacombs you reach lvl3 at the Druidville gate. Talking and not fighting - Gityanki extermination squad, Goblintown - gets you very close to lvl4. And then everything becomes relatively easy. If you count the Mounatin Pass as Act 1 you enter the Shadowlands on the...

    I decided to try Honour Mode. This is Hard with kinks - one save only, cannot reload, etc. At my first attempt I was dead the moment I set foot on the beach - I was one-shotted :) by a character known for failing most of her attack rolls - Shadowheart (in my headcanon Tav identified the local...

    I'm confused by ESL (effective spellcasting level). My Bard6/Cleric2 Tav seems to be ESL lvl 8 - i.e. 2 lvl4 Spell Slots - which I understand, as both classes are Full Casters. But I'm baffled by my Gale - Wizard7/Ranger1 - and apparently ESL lvl7 - which I deduct from his single lvl4 SS. As...

    THe Pinguins are funny :) I also was amused by the Twilight Eclipse playthrough videos. The Halfling Barbarians also were a hoot. Now am giggling over Carbot flics.

    Go on Youtube and search for fastest BG3 playthrough with Gale. Spoilerise I do not. Jumping - fastest mode of getting around is by casting Enhance Leap (lasts "only" 10 turns but - as a Ritual Spell - is cast without using a Spell Slot) and jumping instead of running. Even STR8 Gale becomes a...

    Oh, yes, it does, My Precious, it really does! Of course, it is possible to to end it in a few minutes :P with "Jumping Timebomb" Gales as protagonist :D
