Baldur's Dale, The Infinity Engine Games Thread Options

I also think having both two Druids in the part is overdoing it. Since Jaheria is the leader of the Harpers, well... it kind of sounds right that she ought to be a Bard after all. I usually make her a dual-wielder of rapiers or scimitars. Her Bard abilities make her a good support Buffer. But the Bards have some good attack spells too. I found that it synergizes very well with the Wizard Bladesinger. I also found a mod that improves Bardic Inspiration so that it affects the entire party, including the character initiating it.

The guidance spell is awesome! So far as I know you can only get the benefit of one character's Guidance spell at a time. So just pick any one. It does not matter. Some other forms of buffs do stack though. For example, Bardic Inspiration and Guidance both stack their bonuses. The Friends spell is another good one, but I do not believe it will stack with the Guidance buff. The same with Charm Person. Both the latter two have a lot of uses in conversations.

I've been super into BG3 again after I decided to restart my Bard. The first run I dabbled off and on with made it almost as far as Moonrise, but I had missed a bunch of Act One stuff (like, 90% of the Underdark) and it was my way to get a handle on game mechanics. Now that I know what I'm doing, my party steamrolled Act One (even left Minthara unconscious for future considerations [last time I pushed her into the chasm]).

Having a blast with everything (literally, since Gale now has Fireball), and doing my best not to miss anything this time. Logged off last night right before meeting the Inquisitor in the creche.

I also respecced Shadowheart to a Light Cleric and she is much more efficient that way. Helps buff the team while my Bard debuffs the enemies.

Great shots, SubRosa. Especially that first one of Blood Raven - it captures who she is so perfectly!

Very nice looking characters! The shadow-cursed land. . . not so much.

Awesome pics! I need to start a new game…

I love the Shadow-cursed lands. It’s my favorite part of the game so far (I haven’t finished it ). It’s just so weird!
