    Well in vanilla, very few things offer immunity to stun. Chaotic commands if you have a divine caster party member or Mazzy's short sword. I think I understand how Noywad III made it past this part - he was a solo fighter, but a dwarf with obvious great saves vs. death. So I should have gulped a potion of magic shielding before dealing with this group - will remember for next time.

    @Corey_Russell: Smite will still not offer a save. If a Potion of Freedom or a Ring of Free Action won't block stun in your install, and you don't have Chaotic Commands next time, I'm guessing the best buff for Smite would be Hardiness, just to survive the two rounds of stun.

    Immunity to stun is even rarer in IWD2. Even Chaotic Commands won't stop it. Only Chara's half-dragon form blocks it.

     Los1 -ds6,    

    Odd jobs;
     
    Hear text as mp3,

    We returned to the Docks to kill Monk after jumping on some spiders... Nice trinket.







    Some slavers tried to capture us between areas but I was not in the mood to be owned... I assume this was a one off but if they keep coming then we may have to visit their leader in the slums to discuss it?

    Well I'm off to murder some government officer next. I think Bodhi has a reason to want him dead but the truth is, I forgot to ask!

    Ah yes Slayer! Good idea Norway, maybe consider that too - will keep it in mind

    Well done Dyara. :) A lot of deaths and near-deaths, but you survived. I have never come across the Simmeon battle. Do you need a particular NPC in your party for that to happen? All the best in Dragonspear.

    Thanks :). Simmeon is part of the Dorn quest line.

    I agree. The dwarven defender and assassin are very powerful indeed. The drawback of the defender is lack of speed if the enemy moves away and uses ranged weapons.

    Imoen identified the items over several days. Aethel used the tome to increase her charisma (Now 19). Scythia used the tome to increase constitution (Now 20) so that he now regenerates. A lot of ankheg shells and surplus armour was sold to buy boots that improve speed. Poor again, but well equipped. They paid for ankheg armour but haven't got it yet.

    They cleared the mines including the extra assassins with no problems. Upon leaving, they killed the assassins there (Lamalha and co), the revenant, the ghasts and Narcilicus. They then went to the carnival where they enjoyed a well-earned rest.

    I can't find any place to post portraits so I'll just link to Puks new RDD images... feel free to use them if they suit your needs.

    Sorry Dyara

    fyi no the dispel arrows would not have helped.

    For the benefit of USS Norway and anyone else who does not know how to post images here, it is much easier than on the Bioware forum. You click on the point that the arrow indicates and drag and drop your image into the rectangle that appears. It's a bit like dragging and dropping images into photobucket.

    Alternately, you can drag them into the text box, and they'll be inserted at the cursor.

    Underdale: Frisk, Chara, and Asriel in IWD2

    Re your Icewind Dale game, you are certainly enticing me to try it. I have already bought it as part of a bundle.


  • ussnorwayussnorway Member Posts: 341
    thanks guys but I know how to post images, my point was that there does not appear to be a place (thread) in which to put custom made portraits... I may fire up icewind next as well
  • Wise_GrimwaldWise_Grimwald Member Posts: 3,868
    Perhaps you should start a thread then. That would certainly make sense. A lot of us playing the game add our own portraits by taking what is on the web and adding backgrounds, or using photos of ourselves and inserting the photo on a BG or Icewind Dale Backgound. Making a thread about it could encourage those who have never tried it to have a go.

    Most of them are under the Fan Creations subforum.

    Another tip for using these forums is: Don't bother with the forum's search engine, it's not very good. Instead, just go to Google and specify this forum using the "site:" keyword.

    I have just made a new one here: Duh! Perhaps it ought to be deleted if there are already ones out there:
