To the best of my knowledge, Barbarians are just there to dish out as much damage as possible before they die. That's not what we are looking for. Haven't paid much attention to them tbh (I replace Amiri as soon as I can), but their survivability does not seem to be that good. Am I missing something?

The tools are there if you want to use them. But yeah damage is the best CC.

Projecting current morality on history even 100 years ago is totally retarded to begin with, world was completely different.

It's done to distract from what is happening now, which is in many ways worse, largely due to current (de-)morality.

"I role play Evil because that's the only effective way to rule your kingdom and also I enjoy it, also the church is evil because adoption so I've abandoned the faith of my ancestors because I hate evil and also because degenerate Americans on TV told me to" is a helluva take.

Shadenuat, it depends on the perspective. If you want to investigate what cultures and political systems are built to last, you do not have much choice. The same goes for when you want to research how culture changes when a successful system is about to collapse (wink-wink).

Desiderius, can you do that for lvls 1-3? That's the question!
(I do not remember if AC 54 is enough at Pitax, btw, and Amiri does not have mirror image for the random hits. There is a belt with some mirror images, but it takes up the belt spot. By Pitax, I would definitely prefer to use Reggie as an off-tank).

Talwyn’s Armor prevents crits. She was fine.

Yeah, you start her with Freebooter’s Bane to start combat and she’s fine. Tank with Val and a pet, or just start on Challenging and tick it up gradually like a sane person.

What's the bigger coping mechanic:
- Summons and pets
- Stinking Cloud + Delay Poison

Trashos, what say ye

Well, I don't use the clouds at all (exactly because the AI cannot handle them), whereas I use Okbo, so...

Let's just say that I am a merciful King, and I am willing to show mercy to any sinners that limit themselves to just one pet. Clouds are unforgivable (unless the AI has changed).

I specced Harry into a monster tactician right before that barbarians vs brevoy battle. Level 12. I started summoning axiomites and bralanis who followed me for the next next ten minutes firing lightning bolts that would hit my whole party and murked all the brevoy allies lol.

I went from laughing to worrying about a TTK when jub got death by lawful outsider electrocution

smaug, the solution I have found for myself is
Cast a Haste and run back to the entrance to tank properly. Their ranged attackers are still a major problem, so *my* ranged attackers need to be able to outperform them.

I do not remember whether I can cast a Haste from before the dialogue or whether I cast it with my highest Initiative caster as soon as combat starts.

I got slaughtered the first time then pre-buffed and prayed Nok-Nok and Water elementals would cleave their way through everyone.

Ekun gets all the love/hate on the normie forums but Nok Nok and Jubs are beasts. Jubs wrecking bosses on hard with a single volley of bombs. Nok Nok pops off opportunist attacks of like 80 damage all the time and I don't even understand what's happening but things are exploding into a rain of chunks.

I laughed when in VTomb:
Raven asks you who is the most worthless member of your party and one of your options is "Nok-nok. Easily."

Weird that people deny themselves legitimate spells and strategies. Stinking Cloud isn't like Imprisonment from BG2 where nearly nothing could defend against it. Fortitude Save or vomit for a round. Lots of things in this game have very high fortitude saves, least of which is a war camp full of mid-level raging barbarians. This encounter is not particularly hard even without it. Despite many other CCs being gimped by allowing a save every round, there is still a wealth of options. Cloak of Dreams, Archons's Aura, Mind-Fog and it's a veritable Heaven's Gate part deux. Ever bother using the coup de gras ability? Protection from Arrows alone is going to give you enough breathing room to ignore half of the opponents.

Is there a reason to choose sage sorcerer over regular sorcerer with arcane bloodlin other than wanting an int based class?

Also are class mods any good? Or they are unbalanced buggy trash?
