Have you visited any drow bars in your local underdark?

Have you visited any drow bars in your local underdark?

Used to have a great neighborhood with the ettercaps and flayers, then those fucking oilskins came and brought down the real estate value. Worst of all is they make it sound like they're down with your lifestyle but you don't see me wandering in their precious little gay S&M dwellings, do ya? They're phony. Driders? Yeah, only because they pissed off Lolth. "Here's your punishment, bitch, become a half-spider." Thanks for the encouragement, mom.

"Here's your punishment, bitch, become a half-spider

I mean if they become full spiders what will they do when it itches?

Somatic components are lame. All I want is for my cleric to cast his blessings upon his noble companions while smacking people over the head with a blunt instrument, like God intended. Is that so much to ask?

 

[PrettyDeadman]

How long is the game? My guess around 20 hours

9 hours

Just go spin some webs around a tree, some knife-ear will try hugging it sooner or later.

Has anybody found a fixed loot/merchant for a Primed longsword and a primed rapier?

I know the Arcanum faction sells primed rapier, but I don't have the necessary approval rating with them.

Both the Wardenblade recipe and Doomblade rapier have been sitting for hours in my inventory and it's driving me nuts.

It actually works in your favor because it makes you equip a shield and raise your AC at the end of your turn. You just need 1 free hand, it isn't specified which one, so equipping just a shield is ok. You don't lose damage because it's either a bonus action or you'll use your action to cast the spell either way. It's mostly to prevent bonus action buffs buffing your main action in the same round. However, if you are a battle cleric, you get to remove the somatic requirement.

I truly hope that they keep updating that toolkit and get some modding tools going, it could be the saving grace of this game.

Hey this is good, they get trapped and I can burn them down.

^That would've been cool to have.

So how about this Aksha thing, huh. It's fucking up my low on darkvision party. It would've been pretty cool if manipulating light by opening the windows and casting light spells actually did something, but she just casts her lolnope cloud of darkness every single turn. Speaking of lolnope, she's also immune to everything interesting. I don't think I have enough bash to take her on, and anything more creative than that seems to be illegal.

Yeah, at that point in the game is probably one of the hardest fights. Having a Wizard with counterspells can help as you can negate the darkness veil. There may also be some factor of luck or something, as it seems she didn't cast that sepll so many times when i was fighting her. She tried to do it like twice, and both times I used counterspell against her. I think I was level 5 too if I remember right, which helped.

 

[Lacrymas]

You can counter the veil by disengaging and luring her somewhere else. Her AI is dumb enough to follow you.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

game freezes on starting a campaign. i'm so entertained and amused right now.

Does it freezes with a black screen?

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

for everybody else having the same issue:
Solution #3: Rename/delete CotmIntroduction.mp4 that can be found in \Steam\steamapps\common\Slasta_COTM\Solasta_Data\StreamingAssets\
this might work. i wouldn't know, my ragequits are quite brutal and i have no intention of redownload all this crap.

 

[lukaszek]

yeah battle cleric is outstanding

Spoiler

in theory, in practice mine is not doing much... its almost like if paladin would do instead

 

[Strange Fellow]

Spammed her down with sneak attacks and magic missiles. Bleh. By the way, I still have no clue what triggers a sneak attack. I only know that it happens a lot and that I like it.

 

[lukaszek]

can you add sneak attack on spells like in pathfinder?

 

[Anonona]

I still have no clue why an attack is sometimes a sneak attack and sometimes not.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I think when rogue attack an enemy that is adjacent to one of your other units, then it performs an sneak attack. Also when your rogue is hidden and attack and I think when the rogue attacks an incapacitated enemy.

 

[V_K]

By the way, I still have no clue what triggers a sneak attack.

Basically, it's either when your rogue has advantage on the attack roll, or when you have another party member engaging the target in melee.

 

[Strange Fellow]

I could swear my rogue has failed to sneak attack in those situations. I'm probably wrong, or else it's buggy.
