This is part 5 in a series of 5 posts. Start from the first one if you want this post to make sense. Bear in mind that I’m Wiccan. When I talk about the Wicked Witch Sandalwood, it's just a story. This is not a SPOILER ALERT! Sandalwood asked me not to issue any spoiler warnings. She…
This is part 4 in a series of 5 posts. You want to start with the first one. It's important to note that Sandalwood the Witch is fictional. I'm Wiccan. The faux narrative tone I assume is part of the character, and does not represent me. Traitors I mentioned in an earlier post that the coven had…
This is part 3 in a series of 5 posts. I strongly advise you to start from the first one. In particular, I'm Wiccan. Sandalwood is a fictional character. She does not represent my personal views.

This is part 2 in a series of 5 posts. Please read the posts in order, starting from the first one. In particular, note that I am Wiccan. I'm describing a character, not my personal views.

As a coda to my series of posts on die rolls in Baldur's Gate 3, I present to you a die roll that might be even harder to get than a 67: No analysis this time. If you want to know how I got that, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.
If you've been reading the posts in my Baldur's Gate 3 series, you may have noticed that I'm no longer doing my didactic "D&D lessons" as much as I used to.
