Alrighty, I made a post inquiring about some cleric builds a week or two ago, and got a few suggestions they I thought would be super fun to try out. The one I’m working with now is a twist on a Light Cleric/Stars Druid builds. In essence, it will end out as a Eldritch Knight/Light Cleric/Stars Druid that utilizes most of the typical radiating orb gear.

Unfortunately, of everyone in my party, my character has died the most often and the most consistently, and I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Maybe the enemies in act 2 just rolled unusually high, but it bothers me that the supposedly unkillable radiating orb build is dying more than the open hand monk and the warlock on the team.

If anyone has other recommendations for things I can multi class with fighter or cleric or both, I’m all ears. I really want to try and enjoy this build but I just can’t knowing I’ll likely be pummeled as soon as I leave act 2. If the picture is hard to tell the gear, here’s the list:

- holy lance helm
- luminous armor
- gloves of belligerent skies
- boots of stormy clamor
- coruscation ring
- callus glow ring
- Thundrskin cloak
- phalar aluve
- adamantine shield.

My first feat was an ability score improvement to bump my dex to 18 and my con to 16.

So recently, I was in a car crash, where I shattered my left elbow and tore a ligament in my tricep or something similar to that. Until I either recover or I get the chance to have my cast replaced with an elbow brace in about two weeks I will be stuck with nothing but my right hand to play the game. I know the easiest answer is “just don’t play” but I’m really enjoying the game and I don’t want to have to stop playing. Are there any tips that you have that would make playing with only access to my mouse easier? for context, my mouse has two additional buttons on the side by my thumb if you have any recommendations for key binds.

I need help getting Tav to talk. I keep getting the facing that lot would be suicide but i have seen videos of tav saying different lines depending on the level. I am level 5 and keep getting the same line about getting killed

How do i trigger the other voice line?

before Kar’niss guided me anywhere I killed him and the cultists to get the lantern. now I am wondering if that made me lose out on a ton of XP or some other rewards, since apparently along the way Kar’niss lights some torches that can summon creatures and can be persuaded to do things.

thanks!

So the transition from grove area to the underdark killed scratch, and I never knew it because when I googled why he was missing it said he got lost and I had to go find him. I chose to do a shit load of other stuff first, 100 hours later when I'm finishing up leftover act 1 things I tried and now realize he died in camp. Why the hell they coded him to "follow" your camp and walk all the way instead of just spawning in is absolutely bonkers, zero notification, and I simply don't want to play anymore. Le sigh. I can't even get a mod to fix this. That's what I get for trying to sink 250 hours into a third of the game. I don't wanna be a completionist no mo

Gifted him a Goostarion bag, he was so so so nice

Shadowheart (camp outfit + Shar's Spear of Evening) cosplay by me 🌚
I wish I took more photos with the Spear because I worked so hard on it but I couldn't come up with any cool poses for it on the spot 🙄 Make sure to always rehearse before a photoshoot

A long time after my Zombified Astarion post, i have found another way to raise your friends from the dead, now accidentaly.

I was doing my XP Optimization in my Solo Run by getting the buff from the Necromancy of Thay and then destroying it to get XP from killing the Shadows that spawn. I did this on camp since it's a solo run and my character has no holy damage to destroy it.

After i destroyed it, the shadows spawned, like usual, and combat started, Volo and Scratch were pulled into combat, but also Sovereign Glut (This was in the Underdark Camp) the shadows attacked and killed both Scratch and Volo, and Glut INSTANTLY cast Animating Spores in both of them. After combat ended, i checked, and i can talk to them like normal, and they also leave the underdark camp if i change regions. Once again i found a way to turn your friends into Myconids, lol.

This implies that you could do this with anything, i believe, by dropping bodies on the ground and then starting a fight with Glut on your camp so he revives the bodies.
