for spiritual weapon it's hit or miss, maybe the patch/hotfix changed things? i know in one fight about a week ago i summoned it in the middle of a group of enemies because of its short 20ft move speed. they all attacked it and ignored the rest of my group, allowing us to kill them easily

had another fight where they pretty much ignored the spiritual weapon if they could in a recent fight today. summoned it in front of the enemies and they proceeded to dash towards me past the spiritual weapon

I beat stage 1 of the Act 2 boss with judicious Spiritual Weapon.

Popped it right on top, it ate two Divine Smites and vanished.

Did the same thing the next turn, then Minthara fucking erased him with her own Smite.

I'll miss how much those glowy swords would piss people off.

did halsin's fight in act 2 at the last light inn defending the portal. was pretty easy since i have the blood of lathander, a bunch of throwing explosives with karlach, and spiritual guardians with shadowheart. lined up a bunch of enemies to use blood of lathander's sunbeam to vaporize a bunch. the low HP enemies just melted when hitting spiritual guardians.

after that i explored some more and went across a bridge to the house of healing, then talked the doctor into killing himself. found the brewery and had the bartender kill himself via drinking contest

When I last left off, I was currently mucking around and the swamp as a level 4 party. There are some dust mephits and ents that require my attention. Got to get some fire spells prepped for those guys, because they are winning the battle of attrition.

Dragonborn is gonna be my next character now that they buffed the breath weapon.

I always liked the idea of it but nobody ever upscaled the damage so it was just getting a slightly better Burning Hands.

thinking about respecing my paladin from sword and shield into two hander with great weapon master for that +10 damage

in the gith creche i got the invisible weapon unseen menace i had it on karlach to improve her hit chance. she also has GWM and doing tons of damage, but in act 2 there's also a halberd that dammon has which would give her +2 to strength but -1 to INT and WIS, not that she really needs that anyways. could use that invisible weapon on my pally to get near permanent advantage to overcome GWM penalty

it still seems to be affecting karlach when she's wielding unseen menace. pretty sure the damage is being calculated correctly, and i'm getting the lower chance to hit

the bg3.wiki says that GWM should work with any two handed weapon, even versatile ones. it could be wrong though because of patches or just game mechanics not being calculated properly

wait, i'm pretty sure that karlach was still getting that bonus action attack from GWM using the pike. time for some more testing

also, not sure if it's a bug but in act 2 i found the coruscation ring, equipped it on my pally since she has the blood of lathander which emits light, and it doesn't seem to be affect the enemies? even when i have the moonglow lantern on astarion i don't notice any condition being put on enemies either

edit: took a look at the ring again and it says spell damage. hitting things with a mace isn't spell damage. truly using my 8 INT there

Two handed weapons count as heavy weapons so the pike works. Versatile weapons used without a shield also count.

Bows use dex while Karlach is built for str so maybe you're missing.

Vengeance paladin oath only cares about killing really evil doers. I think the only way to break the oath is to bargain or let evil doers get away with things. My vengenance paladin warlock constantly disguises himself to talk to people he killed for information no problem.

Eh, if she can't move and attack an enemy in the same turn, I'll have her take a couple potshots with her crossbow. The occasional bit of chip damage certainly isn't unwelcome.

So I kept having random issues with the game not launching from the Larian launcher, then I ran across a thread to bypass the Larian launcher completely in Steam. Now Steam just opens it straight from the .exe which is great, I'm doing this for all my games that have separate launchers from now on.

It's probably due to the fact I use mods, but still a nice discovery.

This is the area that made me realize Darkness doesn't aggro non-hostiles. >_>

Finally got the macguffins. Karlach's scenes after you trash Gortash were really nice. The fact that if you kill Orin nobody in the Bhall temple gives a shit is hilarious. Get fucked you edgy creepypasta reject <_<

It is funny how the game makes a big deal about the big bad triumvirate but (Act 2 and early Act 3 spoilers) The first time you see them together, 2 of them basically make fun of the depressed one and leaves him to his own devices. They are somehow shocked he dies since he is left alone ruining their master plan and then the other 2 want to start killing each other.

None of the three had any intention of honoring their agreement with each other. Their only loyalty is to their respective gods.

I ran across a monster hunter in the swamp, who's hunting a vampire spawn. I managed to coax the name of his quarry out of him, and now I'm faced with a quandary. I quickly went back to camp to get Astarion into my party, because I wanted to see what would happen if he was in the party. Damn, that was brutal.

now I'm over here wondering what sort of character build I should have for Astarion. I kind of want to play around with Arcane Trickster for him and see how that does.
