Playing with Shadowheart in BG3
I am traveling with Shadowheart and am curious about the best build to use for her. I’ve had a look at a couple of optimisers’ takes on Shadowheart. In this little note, I look at the newcomers and then review an older perspective which comes primarily from Treantmonk. I look at those who comment on…

Hero Wars
Originally attracted by the dungeon puzzles, I became hooked. A fantasy setting … complex character management mechanics. But I became bored with it; there’s insufficient agency in levelling up, and/or even party membership selection. I gave up with this. I have kept my links & notes online …

This was the original and first unofficial fixpack for the Baldur’s Gate family of games. I refer to it in this wiki on a couple of my BG2 articles. It has now moved and can be found at Gibberlings 3 and has been renamed “fixpack”. The old site is available at the wayback machine.

I have added a link to my fan video of a shifter/werebear below/overleaf which was originally posted in my article, Rendering New Age Video, on this wiki.

There’s only so many times one can play the official campaigns and after about 4 years I began to look for additional content. Obviously I have the Kingmaker Expansions, but for various reasons I decided to look further. This page is impacted by the bioware hack and also by the collapse/destruction of the original vault….

The NWN Online book says, Saving throws are a measure of a character or creature’s resistance to special types of attacks-poisons, magic, and effects like a dragon’s breath weapon. If a saving throw is made, this may reduce the damage or prevent the effects of the spell or attack entirely.
