Deeper Into The Underdark | STUMBLING BLINDLY Through Baldur's Gate 3

just popped by your latest episode to tell about exciting news courtesy of patch #7: they fixed a bug which offers incredible gameplay within your setting. how attached are you to the notion of mono profession runs? could you imagine an urchin taking up holy orders? no, too Christian probably. in Asia, becoming a [temporary] monk to learn something or overcome a stressful patch in life is not uncommon. maybe Mike is open to the idea of Linus having spent some time in a monastery prior to meeting Findon (maybe the monastery took in orphans). it would open up a host of possibilities for rogues since patch #7, in particular the way Linus prefers fighting his opponents as a thief. the YT channel _Cephalopocalypse_ released a video explaining the new aspects called _The Shadow Assassin_ a few hours ago. maybe have a look, out of curiosity if nothing else.

Thanks for sharing that. We'll talk about it. We did decide at the beginning to set some house rules for the play-through and monoclassing was one of them, but I'm not married to it. We'll see what @Immersioneer thinks.

If you intend on kiting an enemy, hiding is generally a bad idea. Not only the enemy might not know where to go, it can also go to your last known location and fail investigation, which will pull you out of combat, therefore restoring enemie's HP that you've been chipping away at :-)

Vulnerability hurts you more than resistance benefits you :-)

Surprise happens when you attack from stealth, invis or darkness. Proximity or the type of the attack has no bearing. Keep in mind that some spells (I remember it being Moonbeam) will not trigger it, because you're not considered a source of damage. Also it may not be triggered if attack triggers a little cutscene, you can still do it, but it requires some fiddling and quick mousework :-) Some enemies can not be surprised, most of the time it's indicated upon examination.

Phalar Aluve is an amazing weapon for support character, it also is a part of some ridiculous ultra high damage builds. Sadly, it's not very useful for your builds or playstyle
