Maybe Aerie's genes aren't dominant over those of <<character name>> ? Maybe it takes two winged elves to produce a wee winged elf?


Indeed, the wing development genes of Avariels are recessive, hence you need two copies to develop wings (one from each parent). If Aerie's half-avariel offspring ...

[QUOTE=Xanthar]I have the new BG3 and I am curious to see who is in it myself. I am tempted to put it in and do just a play thru to see what it is all about. It even has a new area called Watchers Keep to explore. If I do just play it I'll let you know who is and who isn't in it.

[QUOTE=Dedigan]So let me get this straight, for 7-9 levels of rogue, I can lose an additional 50% of the damage against the spells where my reflex save makes the difference. But I make all of my reflex saves anyway, thus taking no damage from those same spells. I think I'll stick to my 1-3 levels ...

[QUOTE=Opalescence]Have to agree with you about rogues, though; there is virtually NO reason to single-class a rogue; they just aren't useful after level 3.[/QUOTE]

Actually, the level 10 'greater evasion' feat comes in handy. But on the whole, since any player can disarm traps or open locks, there ...

[QUOTE=Raumoheru]AC really means nothing in HOF

just get armor that give nice enchantments :D [/QUOTE]

Yeah - I found that out the hard way. Even a few lowly goblins can damage a fighter with an AC of 30. I've found that an AC of 34 with improved invisibility (and the occasional minor mirror image ...

I'm trying HOF for the first time, and thought others might have a few tips. Here's what I've figured out for myself so far:

- Mass invisibility works wonders for fights that start as soon as you enter an area. Improved invisibility on a melee fighter is a gods-send.

- Summon lots of high-level ...

I found that even with a party of four, the twins were mincemeat in no time. Just make sure you sleep after the fight on top of the war tower, and apply all your protective spells before heading down again (invisibility and haste especially). Don't bother memorising demon-raising spells, or area ...

[QUOTE=CrownHead]How many times do I have to correct people? Let me make this final and clear right now for anyone who is even vaguely thinking of posting something about Bhaal again.

BHAAL WAS KILLED BY CYRIC
BHAAL WAS KILLED BY CYRIC

So stop posting that you think it ...

[QUOTE=Grey King]I have killed all the monsters and the 3 sisters. The walkthrough says to return to Nathaniel and telll him the 3 sisters are dead and give him his items. When I speak to him, I cannot get that option and cannot give him his stuff. What do I do??[/QUOTE]

Did you use the big dial ...

[QUOTE=luz]I have the latest patch, but I can't get to the last needed pillar next to the snake statue, it says it's locked and my rogue can't get to it to open it. I tried reloading, but that didn't help either. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]

I found the last pillar in the same chamber as the heartless dead ...

[QUOTE=Wrath-Of-Egg]I would like see picture of this bridge of yours...[/QUOTE]

Go to the top of the war tower (above where the prisoners are kept), where the bone guards & demon knights hang out. There are three doors. One leads downward (to the torture chamber, IIRC). One locked door leads up to ...

[QUOTE=silverdragon72].

IIRC the broken bridge goes war tower level 3 to cleric tower level 3.[/QUOTE]

So it doesn't go anywhere interesting. Thanks.

I wonder why the door leading to it was locked then? To keep spectral hypogriffs out?

[QUOTE=JonIrenicus]Hmm if anything I think BGIII might be before BGI/II so maybe we might see Elminster when he was young or maybe even his trainer.[/QUOTE]

Given how unbelievably old Elminster is supposed to be, it'd have to be set way back in the past to see him young!

Elves are supposed to be ...

[QUOTE=Brynn]The next area you should access from those scattered stairs is a round floor, with a glowing portal back to the lower floors and stairs up. I don't think anything else could be found in between.[/QUOTE]

Okay - to clarify, I'm not talking about the mage tower at all. I'm talking about ...

[QUOTE=Wrath-Of-Egg]Yes there is other tower.. yes you can go there and that tower is called as Mages Tower or something like that.. you need to push those portal in correct way.. Picture wich will come from those portals will be pentagram..[/QUOTE]

Getting into the mage tower was easy enough (I've ...

There's a broken stone bridge just off the top floor of the war tower in the Severed Hand. I've noticed that if you move as far to the left as you can go, the other side of the screen shows a door icon if you move the cursor there.

Is there anything through the door on the other side of the broken ...

[QUOTE=ensaro dai]Well, kinda sux if u hate pali's :) [/QUOTE]

Who doesn't hate paladins (lousy do-gooders never want to slaughter villagers for fun!). However a high-level thief or fighter/thief can also wield Carsomyr. I took on the black dragon at the end of SoA with a fighter/thief wielding it ...

There's one guy I'd like to meet - Bhaal in his human form. After all, someone DID wind up killing him. There wouldn't be any Bhaalspawn around (maybe a few toddlers at the most), but lots of Bhaalite priests and priestesses (maybe even a cameo appearance by Amellisan).

Of course Gorion and ...

I've found that travelling for several days doesn't tire the party out at all. In BG you had to rest as soon as you arrived. Is it assumed that you rested along the way in Icewind Dale?

My BG3 wishlist:

Minsc & Boo, with Minsc giving the "hampsters and rangers of the world unite!" speech at least every 10 seconds.

The female halfling theif from BG. "Someone needs a hug..."

Larry, Darryl and their other brother Darryl, also from BG (I still have their ee-lec-tron-ic signiture ...
