Having her cast a spell and finish it uninterrupted is more or less impossible with her. And she is so gimped on spell slots that I find her quite annoying.

The immortality talk got me thinking about Groundhog Day. It's theorized that Bill Murray's character spent 10,000 days in the loop before he found his way out. He was theoretically immortal in the time loop. The amount of things you can do in that loop is astounding. He could have read the entire library going back day day after day. We saw him learn to play the piano by repeatedly visiting the piano teacher and start with slightly more skill each day. He had time to explore so many things in that loop. It's like leveling up a character from 1 to infinity with no time elapsing.

I thought speed factor only means how early in the round will you attack - not how many times. For example if a guy with a short sword and the guy with halberd both have 1APR then how (based on your example) can the guy with short sword attack twice before the guy with the halberd makes the attack? Doesnt make sense

I don't agree that crossbows are better than bows, they only have more potential damage, but thats just one aspect. Bows have more ApR, more flexibility and will absolutely carry BG1. All that AND they won't be that much behind in damage.
@lightworker29563 күн бұрын
For BG1 yes absolutely, but there actually isn't a great bow in BG2 for some reason -- while crossbow Firetooth is excellent. The best longbow in BG2 is like a random +3 longbow or something? Shortbow of Gesen is competitive with Firetooth, but there are several BG2 companions that can use Gesen. Meanwhile which companion wants to use Firetooth as a primary weapon? Plus you can argue that Firetooth is just better than Gesen. You also get Gesen much later in BG2, which matters for an ironman / hardcore run such as this one. Now as others have stated, there is a case to be made for starting with Bows and then transitioning into Crossbows later.
@Antilluminati3 күн бұрын
What makes crossbows the best is the ammunition, while firetooth is great, any half decent crossbow will shine if you equip all the various awesome ammo on the right moments for it.. like Kuo Ta bolts of which you'll find many in the Underdark.

This would be correct if the Army Scythe and Firetooth didn’t exist. Army Scythe gets you the same APR as a shortbow so the difference is moot in BG1. Meanwhile, Firetooth is cheap to buy (using Ring of Human Influence + High Rep) so you can have your Archer achieve max effectiveness in Act 2 compared to using shortbows until you get 3mil exp or Gesen in Act 6.
@notalefty9992 күн бұрын
@@plastictrumpet6862 With an elf, the composite longbow +1 is +2 to hit and damage over the army scythe (averages only 1 more damage due to higher base damage for crossbow), and enchanted ammo is significantly more common. It definitely is better in BG1. I wasnt suggesting using shortbows.

Just tossing my two cents here for the sake of discussion: 1. Compared to other F/M builds, fighter/illusionist also gets Shorty Saves (vs Spells) on top of the extra spellslot per level. That's an un-dispellable -5 bonus for the most common type of saving throw right out of the gate, nothing to scoff at. 2. Cleric/Mage dualing is an interesting approach. Besides the low lvl dualing Cleric 11/12 -> Mage is worth consideration, their downtime isn't too painful (mileage may vary) and because of their XP tables you can still reach Mage 28 for maximum amount of spellslots. Make yourself a Cleric of Helm and you'll wind up with a Mage who can cast 3x True Sights per day and long lasting Death Wards, Prot. From Evil & Chaotic Commands. You can even squeeze in almost full powered Sequencers & Contingencies (missing 7th level Priest spells obviously).

Also, as someone that recently just squeaked by on completing vanilla BG:EE 1, 2, and TOB for the 1st time on default difficulty, this was a highly entertaining and impressive run to watch, even if I only grasped what I was witnessing 1/4 of the time. Even though I'm old and a fan of various types of RPGs, I missed out on the BG games when they were new for whatever reason. Finally decided to go back and check 'em out after finishing BG3, which gave me a craving for more of the lore. I understand why they are so well-loved and remembered now. Anyway, love the content; a lot of fun and great to have on while I'm working. Hope to see more.

It also has: Dire charm Improved invisibility Web Thorns Spider dawn Solo play, kinda waiting on some cool spells :p 1mill xp so far in bg1 with basilisk/stone to flesh/charm method :p

Hide Armor were actually added for Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack back in 1999. It were eventually ported over to Baldur's Gate 2. Just want to point out. Makes sense since many back then skipped Baldur's Gate entirely and went straight to Baldur's Gate 2. No matter, it is an weak, useless armor.

Usually either lvl 9 or 13 (if you REALLY want the extra 1/2 Attack Per Round). 9 is usually preferred because it has considerably less downtime than Berserker 13 -> Mage.
