BG3 – You can be Arctic Druid Angela too Three

Let’s take our minds off of Armor Class and Spell Save DC with a story. The events and images are a blend of my most successful Balanced-mode test and the Tactician-mode tests, as I describe in my previous post.

A story

This list of buffs show how Karma and Wings protect the group, even when they’re not part of the battle. For example, without these spells, Scratch has an AC of 14 and only 5 Hit Points.

This is where things got complicated. I brought Karma and Wings over to Guard Wulf. My goal was to use photo mode to pose pictures in which Druid Angela’s friends questioned or mocked Wulf for his cowardice. But then I got the unexpected.

If something illegal happens within sight of a witness (and there were plenty of civilian witnesses in the area), the game can spawn a group of Flaming Fist mercenaries to attack the players. Basically these four came out of nowhere.

This was all so sudden that I didn’t think to take many photos. Karma and Wings only had cosmetic gear; Wings wasn’t even Proficient with the sword she held! They were spec’ed to be Protector hirelings. This was the first combat either character had seen.

Druid Angela was out of combat range when this second fight started. She rushed in with the summons who’d survived the first fight.
