U can soll the lick of kirinhale. Every Other option comes from a mod

Since you specifically pointed out your grievances with the added Avenger spells, I thought I'd mention how Spell Revisions fixes those as well: Chromatic Orb in Vanilla indeed has a problem with wonky scaling. Cast by your party early on it usually won't stick due to the massive +6 save bonus (and enemies generally being higher level than you), cast by the enemy it can instakill you. There's also the meme/gimmick tactic of debuffing a really powerful enemy (like a dragon) with save penalties and removing magic resistance and then killing them with Chromatic Orb's Slay effect... Spell Revisions removes the save bonus (so it's a standard save vs spell), and in return smoothes out the effect scaling curve so you don't top out at instant death, but rather paralysis (color is also randomly selected per casting). This makes it a viable alternative to Magic Missile, sacrificing damage for a useful effect. Lightning Bolt is an extremely swingy spell in Vanilla (though there's certainly people that like that), if it bounces outside of your expectations, or enemies move the wrong way, it can completely miss everything (or worse, fry your whole team), if it bounces just right it punches far above its intended damage for a 3rd level slot. The SR version is a single target spell with a big save penalty to make that damage really likely to stick. Honestly, I feel that it's one of the few spell reworks in SR that's underwhelming (as it's just very...basic, compared to the original), but as least it fills a niche (reliable single-target electrical damage), especially for the Avenger. Finally, Chain Lightning is just lackluster for a 6th level slot, no way around it. SR doubles the damage for the primary target (max of 20d6), keeps the damage for the secondary targets (10d6 max) and introduces a -4 save penalty.

I started a new character after the disaster at Firewine Bridge. A Dwarven Defender No reload Core rules Npc kicked on death (only Rasaad managed). I got 10k xp so recruited Baeloth. Will give daggers to Jaheira with Bow Khalid, CLB+1 Morningstar Kivan, Stealthy Quarterstaff Imoen (55/55 OL/DT so with potions 90/90 at Cloakwood). Had to write down all my abilities on a piece a paper so I will remember them. Got Sleep, Fireball (Ulcaster), and Cold wand.

The original Paladin kits (so all except for Blackguard) differ in their rankings/effectiveness depending on which game you are playing. For example Icewind Dale has metric craploads of Undead, so Undead Hunter is better than it would be in Baldur's Gate. Cavalier is comparatively worse in turn, because in Icewind Dale all Paladins become immune to Fear at level 3 and there are barely demons/dragon type enemies around. Inquisitors are even worse off, since Icewind Dale features *far* fewer high tier spellcasting enemies that the BG series does, neutering their greatest advantage.

Congrats on the baby. Mines 17 now and 6'2. I am playing a Gnome barbarian, unusual but fun. Watching a lot of BG3 and wondering how much fun he, Tiax and Jan would have, changing the Duergar mind on enslaving Gnomes! Another fun vid, thank you!

The only criticism I had against both Dav and WesJ was that they didn't rate all spell triggers/contingencies as S tier. The opportunity cost is none, zero, null. Its just free spells, extra spellslots with zero downside.

There's still some ways to tell that Barbarian wasn't "supposed" to be a Fighter kit bur rather a seperate class. For example, Advanced weapon specialization is a keystone feature of the Fighter, all of its kits can go beyond Specialization (even if weapon selection may be limited or grand mastery exchanged for more staying power, depending on kit) ...except for Barbarian, who, as originally "just another member of the Warrior class group" is limited to Specialization. Less obviously, since the Barbarian technically isn't a kit, but a special class (like monk is a special class in the Priest class group) it can't dual-class.

Due to SR(R) buffing the Animal Summoning series, as well as making it much more consistent as to what it summons (summons fixed instead of random creature type, with number based on level), the Beastmaster is at least a bit better off there than in the base game. Still not gonna win any prizes though. ^ ^;

12:42 hamsters get +1 to movement while occupying a forest tile, which synergizes well with their natural camouflage bonus when their scouting for strategic resources during the early expansion phase.

Hi! It could be wonderful a series of equipment guides for all classes! (LOVE CARSOMYR)

Question: Will a general mage and a sorcerer wind up with the same number of spell slots? I know that sorcerers get very limited selection of spells and they have to live forever with the choices they make. But the number of slots/spell activations during a fight is the same or different at any level? example level sorcerer vs level 9 mage.

Jaheira and Minsc will forever be my favorites

Just watched the series in one sitting. I'd seriously recommend playing with Spell Revisions. It's (IMO) one of the must have mods for the game and fixes so much that's fundamentally wrong with the spells. Like if we look at Devaeorn's Guide, you'll usually see about half the spells in any given spell level (varies a lot though, obviously) are worthless (C or RP-tier), a third are simply too good (S-tier) and only a handful are "properly" balanced (A or B-tier, always good or situationally great). That...really sucks. Spell Revisions, I feel, brings a lot more spells into this A to B-tier sweet spot, by usually (not always though) nerfing top tier spells and buffing lower tier spells, in effect making more spells viable to use/fewer spells just traps for new players.

Aye

Totemic druid is very powerful in BG1 IMO - I like the snake and wolf pets especially for their bonus features.

Another thing that sort of counts against the druid in SOA is that you come into SOA with about 500,000 XP and are 12th level. You need another 2.5 million to go up three levels and get to 15th. So the class does stagnate for awhile while other classes are going up 6 or 7 levels more.

18 wis 18 char avenger druid so i can roleplay as a jedi consular named the emperor

Beastmaster ranger would be fixed if he could dual class into a totem druid

One thing about the he Avenger Chain Lightning, it goes through MR. It's better than the MU version.

Liked the video, but could you tone down the game music? It is somewhat loud compared to your voice and is also somewhat distracting.

I may try a Totem, or Avenger. If I ever plan on only using a character in the first game. For bg2. I much prefer Fighter/Druid.

Treehuggers and shifty folks, all of them! Still, in D&D Druid-Thief was one of my most favorite multiclass or dual class mixes. 🤗

I've never made a party without Jan. He's the best companion of all time. Him and Viconia really cement this game's greatness, along with all the other things that also do that. Really, you'd need multiple tier lists for this, all depending on the main character class and alignment.

Redjoy have you thought about making a guide to mod Baldur's Gate i ask because the ones I've seen haven't been the best at explaining the process to start.

Three super gnolls outside High Hedge managed to get hits in on Khalid so I had to go to the big city of Beregost to find a replacement. There I found Kagain. Kagain managed to convince Garrick that stealing was for a good cause, so he snitched a cloak from the inn. Minsc and Dynaheir was appalled so I left Garrick in one of the rooms. As was planned Neera showed up to replace him. When going through Nashkel Mines the Stinking Cloud, Sleep wand, sleep spells and Paralysis Wand put everything to sleep. Being outside the Wand of Lightning became useful when Xan replaced Neera to take out the band to the North of the Mine exit.

At my opinion, shorty races are the best for the classes they can be, bonus to saves are too good. Humans are the goat, cause of dual class options. Every class is better with 7 or 9 first levels in fighter, but dual from thief is also fun. Half elves is just a race you go when you going to specific multiclass or just want to roleplay one. Evles are not that great, I'd say, but still have much more class options than shorties that is good. And half orcs + to strength is overrated, in my opinion, dwarf or gnome would be better.

Do the tutorial u get a weapon u specialize in save character. Start main game u load with wrapon. But game deletes weapon to get around it drop weapon as soon as u load in walk around a few steps then pick it up. Got it

Cleric/ranger get moon doggo. Moon doggo is only reason to be a ranger

I like Chant a lot in bg1ee. I had 4 memorized on my Cleric going through hard. It lasts so long you can cast it after your scout spot some enemies.

I'd donate 1000g to the temple of helm if we could get a cleric or paladin class kit that casts divine spells in the style of the sorcerers.

I know that this guide is for the base game. But I think that cleric playthroughs benefit from the expanded spell list from IWDification immensely. I’m currently on a Fighter-Cleric dual-class run and having an absolute blast with that expanded spell list. The fact that I rolled a 99 after only two minutes was just the icing on the cake.

Great video! Looking foward for the Mage guide! Btw, are you planing on a multi-class guide?

Are you using SCS with IWD spells? Because if you are then clerics are absolutely amazing! Almost on par with arcane casters.

Forgive us, Pater Redjoy, for we have sinned... 😉

I approve of your selections. I'm going to recommend Spell Turning as well, if you're the naughty exploit type. Spell bounced back by Spell Turning are "owned" by the enemy casting the spell at you. For example, You're facing a Lich. He casts Blind (level 1 spell) at you. Spell Turning bounces back the spell. Lich gets blinded. Which should be impossible, due to Lich immunity and magic resistance. But because the Lich "owns" the Blind spell, it affects it. 😈. Do check out WesJ's excellent discussion on Spell Turning. Limited Wish is awesome. Give your entire party Minor Globe with ONE spell. The horde of rabbits can boost your fighter mages to 25 in Strength, Dex and Con, using the SCS added Soul Eater spell. 😳😱. (Imoen casts the spell, and immediately your fighter mage casts Soul Eater on the rabbits) Finally, have Edwin cast Limited Wish. Ask for Protection from Undead Right Now! Use Viconia to Turn the vampires (Edwin has low, horrible Wisdom 😈) into an undead assault force. Also, it resets the world clock, so if you time it right, all the protections cast by that Lich (yes, I'm talking about Vangothe) EXPIRE! Use anti undead weapons for a truly cheap kill. 😈🤣😂

In regards to villains desiring low reputation: I think it would be neat if certain factions locked certain quests behind a rep wall. Maybe an order of paladins look at your rep and say you're too evil to go kill this monster for them. You can still go kill the monster, you just dont get anything from the questgiver. On the other side of the coin, a cult of demon worshippers might look at you funny if you're radiating a holy aura. In terms of game mechanics, I almost always go for high rep simply because discounts are convenient.

A roman having -9AC vs missile fire is a fine nod to the tortoise formation.

Is there a mod that auto sorts inventory items into their proper containers? Pick up a ring and it goes directly into the gem bag, and if your lore is high enough it auto identifies it for you?

Pierce Shield is a spell in search of a use. If you want to drop Spell Trap (if you're playing SCS) , you have Ruby Ray, which is a level 7 spell. If you want to lower magic resistance, use Pierce Magic, which you can load on Spell Trigger. Certain bosses are immune to Lower Resistance in SCS, so you NEED Pierce Magic or Pierce Shield. You can only load up Pierce Shield in Chain Contingency, and it REALLY sucks if Chain Contingency fires a triple Pierce Shields at the WRONG target. 🤬. Pierce Magic in Spell Trigger is better! Protection from Energy is highly recommended. A Berserker Mage with the Belt of Inertial Barrier and that helm in Watcher's Keep (with the horns you need to find to upgrade) and Protection from Energy is IMMUNE to ALL elemental damage and magic damage. It also stacks, so a double cast (Chain Contingency) on self as a Sorcerer makes you immune to almost all damage spells. Chaotic Commands, and you're invulnerable to most magic based encounters.😈 Power Word Blind is AWESOME. WesJ doesn't like it, because he thinks Blind the first level spell is perfectly adequate. It's not. You need PWB to punch through Lich immunity, and there are a lot of bosses that aren't immune to Blind. As long as you can get past magic resistance, you can blind them, disabling them. 🎉 Which is great. Similarly, Bigby's Clenched Fist is excellent. Due to coding, a surprisingly large number of bosses are vulnerable. One round of stun doesn't sound like much, but against Demogorgon, (yes, him too) it can be crucial. 😉

I like your appreciation of Energy Blades. EB are actually a workable substitute for Spell Strike. If you're playing SCS, you have to take down Spell Traps and Spell Turning from high level enemy mages. 4 EB will take out Spell Trap, by overloading it, and I think 2-3 will take out Spell Turning (have Protection from Magic Weapons active to tank the bounced blades. 😈) On SCS, you'll face the Battle of Ust Natha. Have your cleric load up on EB. Your sorcerer casts Spell Trap, and Improved Alacrity. As the first wave approaches, obliterate them with Dragon Breaths. (while keeping your HLAs on Quick Menu is a viable strategy for a mage PC, for sorcerers, don't use it!) cast Spell Trap and PfMW, have your cleric throw EBs at you to recharge your spells. 4 blades, and you've just regained 4 Dragon Breaths. Using this evil exploit, you can literally spam Dragon Breaths dozens ( 😳😱🤯 ) of times in particularly bad fights. The Five in Ascension at the final encounter can be obliterated just like that, except Yaga Shura. 😈😈😈

Hi Redjoy! I love your playthroughs but would it be possible to order the playlists correctly? Would very much appreciate it. No worries if it's too much hassle! 💚

Monks requiring Lawful alignment was I believe originally meant to reflect the discipline and structure in life required to push their minds and bodies past their normal limits

Redjoy, it is a space hampster!!

I am playing a HM Barbarian CG. Want to take Kaigan and Viconia as I do not want to fall into the same rut. Minsc is funny but his stats are not going to work with magic casters plus his rage is uncontrollable? Thank you, sir, for your work.
