I broke down crying from laughter at 12:30, when Esfand teleports Gale into the vines, damages his own team as much as enemy AND pushes the enemy out of the vines so they lose the debuff. In one turn he put his own companion in the debuff, helped the enemy, and dealt damage to his allies. Truly a bumbling paladin.

@@scythelord It depends HEAVILY upon a lot of factors. 1. Level, a lot of folk ended up in this fight underleveled, or overleveled which made it harder or easier 2. Comps / Classes, AoE makes this fight much easier, but not every group has a lot of AoE. I've had playthroughs that when we get to this point we have 3 mages all with either an AoE damage spell or an AoE CC spell. Then on the flipside I've arrived to this fight with 3 dumdum warriors and one support oriented mage that casted stuff like twin spelled haste, and didn't really have AoE. 3. Optimization, for some this is their first dip into DnD stuff or turn based stuff, and while this is pretty far along in the game you CAN get here by just sortah winging it. You can get past this by winging it too, but it depends on how poor their game knowledge is. Hell, they might HAVE the afformentioned AoE's but just instead really like casting only magic missles. Or something like that. Nothing wrong with that style it just will end up making things harder in this fight

warlock/paladin comes online at level 10. You go Paladin 5/Warlock 5 and can attack 3 times per action, and hit/damage using your CHA. You can dump STR. You gain 2 level 3 spells that regenerate on short rests for smiting, you gain eldritch blast and fireball. Since you hit level 9 I wouldn't go lock/paladin quite yet.

Honestly the way I love to do this fight is by simply taking the enemies out before I get there. Z'rell tends to be alone in her office with only an eye as company, so she's pretty easy to deal with there. Then the halfling lady can get killed by the 3 gnolls whom you can also convince to join your side (which actually happens during this fight). As for others - simply taking them out one by one (or by groups) also makes this one easier. Just glad that Esfand did manage to keep Jaheira alive 😂 Seeing just how important she can be in act 3, it is only good to have her around.

Some of the item descriptions are definitely confusing. Bloodlust reads as “you get an extra action per kill”, but that’s because they placed that statement after a comma. You actually just get one new action per turn If you want to go crazy, you can stack it with a speed potion, which not only gives you more movement , but adds another action. So now you have +1 action from bloodlust until long rest, and +1 action for 3 turns from speed pot. With action surge, this can be potentially 12 or more attacks in one turn

"94% and I missed, why?!" Karmic dice rolls my guy. You can turn them off in the options to give true dice rolls. Karmic will give you really good rolls if you've had a couple of really bad ones in a row, and vice versa. It's kind of annoying when you get a really high roll on something that you didn't need it on, and then moments later, you're roll screws you in a fight because the karmic dice rolls have decided you need to have a bad one to balance it out.
