Switch team members.

You'll exit combat and have the other ones still moving freely while the enemy is standing still, assuming it's your Rogue's turn in initiative.

I've used it to line up three individual attacks, buff before engaging, get better positioning, summon...

yeah you can just switch off the characters who are in combat and move the others around normally. Its possible to do multiple ranged sneak attacks if you roll for it too I think

Combat could really use an undo movement button. Sucks when you misclick then a character wanders off and your careful planning gets fucked because they are now somewhere really wrong.

Goddamnit, Reddit neckbeards said Grease (level 1 spell) isn't flammable in 5e because it only has the properties explicitly stated in the rulebook. Well guess what, in BG3 Grease is flammable

That's how I did the fight where you fall in a hole into the place with Withers.

Toss a Void Bulb
Shoot the oil barrel
Use more Void Bulbs to keep everyone in the fire.
If the fire is about to disappear, huck a Grease Bottle.

On the topic of Grease I'm enjoying Tactician when I don't accidentally fuck up everything.

Like I went into the crypt after the ship crashes and hit the button that causes the entombed scribes to rise and be hostile. First try, I tried to play at the edge of the hallway and got destroyed by their Cloud spell as they all fired at us from above. Then I stuck everyone inside the room that opens and put Grease on the stairwell and just had everyone pop in and out to take potshots as the undead broke their ankles on the stairs.

For those that don't know:

- In the Druid Grove, there's more to Khaga's asshattery than meets the eye. Find her chest in the room where she is to actually advance the quest. For the best result, convince her to switch sides right before to fight at the end to keep her alive.

- You can poison the goblins in the main courtyard of their camp. Just make sure to have a basic poison in your inventroy, spike their beer, and pass the skill checks to avoid getting found out when approached. It will make the (optional) fight much easier.

- Don't do a long rest right away when you get to the Druid Circle. Instead, run up the hill to the telescope and save the girl from the bugbear assassin. Then pass the skill check for her soul coin. Or let her die and take it from her corpse, I guess.

- Climb down the well in front of the Hag's house to find her lair and save Mayrina, but be prepared for a big fight at the end. Hags aren't easy to kill at low level. I THINK to save her brothers you have to tell them to fuck off when they ask your help: all I know is that way their corpses don't show up outside of the Hag's hut if you tell them that. Any other response path in their conversation leads to their doom. Also be sure to take Astarion to see the hunter outside the teahouse...and let him do his thing. He'll love you for it.

- Shadowheart is the best support character in the game. Prove me wrong. She's also got a cool story.

What about 5? Is there a mod that increases party size to 5? To me that's the perfect size for a D&D party.

Fair enough! Many people who metagame in tabletop avoid Wild Magic because the lows are far too low and the highs do not justify taking it. I don't know what Larian has done to change it, bit it sounds like not much.

Personally I find it great for roleplay, terrible for survivability.

If it hurts you too much, you can always talk to Withers to respec.

i don't quite understand the Origins thing

like you get the choice of either making your own character or just play as one of the companions?
why would anyone do the latter?
They have their own stories, thoughts, and feelings. There's a big difference between watching someone's story unfold and being the person making it happen. Devs have said you'd get more information about them and their thoughts, as moments like Shadowheart having "random" pain for doing certain actions would not be a secret she keeps from herself.

Basically, the game would play mostly the same, but you'll get character specific dialogue and options.

Masters of close quarters combat because you just SMITE SMITE SMITE everything that moves, but hamstrung with a lack of ranged options. To their benefit, only better tank in the game is the Barb/Druid combo, IMO

Not as far as I'm aware. Clerics are just better at healing/support than tanking. At best, they're off-tanks.

In D&D proper they are far and away the most self-sufficient tanks in the game, so it sounds like they did get nerfed.

Though it could just be a 5E thing I suppose. RIP twink cleric.

5e kind of nerfed healing in general, from what I remember experiencing in 3.5e and (ESPECIALLY) 4e. The buffs are still there, but they definitely don't feel as powerful, yeah. Also keep in mind that max level is 12, so all those juicy spells and spell slots you get levels 13-20 are not available.

I went along with the goblins to see where this Absolute nonsense went, see if it could help with the tadpole. Turns out it didn't, freed Halsin and just obliterated everyone. Stuck with the Absolute's brand now and it's come in handy from time to time.

Honestly this game brought me back to Diablo. I stopped playing that because I was in the middle of a coop play through but my coop partner sort of dropped out.

I like the concept of BG3 but the combat just doesn't excite me at all at this point. I may try to get back into it today when I have a long stretch open to play.
