CitizenVectron Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Also, you can just change anyone's class at any time, it only costs 100 gold to completely respec a character with Withers in your camp. I've kept Gale as a magic-user, but changed him to storm sorceror. Karlach is a ranger knight, and Lae'zel is a radiant monk. My own char is lore bard.

legend Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 RE: learning spells: Wizards can learn from spell scrolls to permanently know the spell on the scroll. You can also change what set of spells he can use from a massive list anytime outside of battle. There are also some unique spells you can't get outside of scrolls, so having him be able to permanently use them is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnguard2001 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 39 minutes ago, Biggie said: Okay I should have told you. I only speak English. Sorry DnD nerd is my first language. At level 2 a wizard picks their subclass and Evocation is the school of destruction magic and one of the benefits it gives you is your damage dealing spells like Fireball does not harm your party members. So you can run full into combat with Karlach or La'zel and not worry about dropping a fireball on them. Their damage is ignored. Each spellcaster learns spells at level up. Spellcasters like Bard, Warlock, and Sorcerer only get new spells at level up and are limited to how many they can learn. Whereas a wizard, can learn new spells so long as you have the gold and they are at the level of the spell. So for example, you have Gale who is at levels up to level 5 and you pick Fly and Lightning bolt for your 3rd level spells. Then you find Fireball on a dead body he can then add that to his spell book for like 100 GP and the scroll is destroyed. Just from a mechanical standpoint Gale can be such a force on the battlefield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might level another time down there ..maybe. Spoiler It's not exactly to the left. When walking into the prison move to the center area.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Xbox is getting a firmware update just to fix broken Baldur's Gate 3 saves | GamesRadar+ WWW.GAMESRADAR.COM No wonder the fix took so long Quote Long-suffering Baldur's Gate 3 players on Xbox are finally getting a fix for the game's broken saves, and it seems Microsoft is having to issue an entire console firmware update to get the problem under control. "Microsoft have identified the cause of the save bug on Xbox, and will be issuing a firmware update to fix it," developer Larian says on Twitter. "You'll be able to update your console manually on the 16th of January, or wait a week longer for the update to roll out globally. Although we haven’t been able to independently verify this fix, we’re optimistic that Microsoft have gotten to the bottom of it!" Players have been reporting save issues pretty much since Baldur's Gate 3 hit Xbox in early December. The cause of the issue seemed to be tough for Larian or Microsoft to pin down, but on December 31 the developers issued a tweet explaining the situation. Basically, the game will sometimes think that it's completed a save before that save is actually written to the drive. You can work around the issue with Larian's cross-save service, but it's been a full month now without a fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I absolutely sympathize that if you've never played DnD before, there is a ton of complexity and the game doesn't attempt to explain it all. (Probably because trying to explain it would be long and boring. Even in real DnD sessions it takes new players a very long time to really get it all and arguments about rules still pop up among seasoned players. I think it's probably is better to just let the player go and have them figure it out along the way.) I changed my parties armor a fair amount. There's probably not a ton of good stuff until the last third of act 1 though. Also, if you use Gale, make sure you equip him with some light armor unless you find some robe with fantastic magic stats you want (which you probably won't find much of in act 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 8 hours ago, johnny said: i got this game. are there any tips for the beginning of the game? Get the full party to join you, even if you're off put by them at first. Use shove liberally around any cliffs or pits you see. Be aware that there are two kinds of actions: your main action, and a bonus action. But they are not interchangeable (without some feats), so they let you do different things. Give Gale light armor. You can "knock out" rather than kill enemies if you go to passives and choose non-lethal and defeat them with a melee attack (as opposed to magic) With the latest patch, when you find Minthara and if you're playing "good" side, knock her out, don't kill her.
