Well that sucked. Going to the Blood of Lethander. I had 14 bonus on the roll and the DC was 14. The the dawn things that punt you off into the chasm. Oh yeah, rolled a one.

I enjoy playing punishing games but a turn-based game built on lethal failures from literal dice roles having a hardcore difficulty mode is the gaming equivalent of pickle and jelly sandwiches.

However, much like a pickle and jelly sandwich I enjoy laughing at someone eating it. Please keep us up to date.

Have you ever had a peanut butter and pickle sandwich? Not joking, it’s actually good.

One slice of bread, peanut butter, dill pickle in the middle and wrap up like a hotdog.

Dice roll and being lazy on my part. I could have posistioned myself better to not get thrown into the casm. I thought I had it easily with my bonus, not to mention I had advantage. So basically I rolled two 1s to fail it and no inspiration which I know now that's a spot to make sure I have one or more. And you only get a perma death you can't fix by reloading if you are on honor mode. Also when you lose honor mode you can keep playing it just doesn't count as finishing honor mode. Gives you the option to continue in cusom mode with honor mode rules or whatever, it is called dishonored mode.

Or I had not been playing solo.

Anyway Solasta 2 is available on steam for early acess now. Also the modules for 1 are on sale if anything has done Solasta.

I mean, you can re-roll, unless you blew all your inspirations.

Still haven't finished this game because I get busy for weeks then have to re-learn what the fuck I'm doing, but still having a hoot finding new stuff. So I'm in Act 2, find the Gloves of the Balanced Hands, the Risky Ring, the Render of Mind and Body sword and one that improves chance to crit. I give 'em all to Astarion thinking in theory he'll always be attacking now with advantage, and thus in theory always triggering the 1-8 psychic bonus damage from the sword.

I jogged over to the nurse at the House of Healing hoping to test what damage he can do combined with the off-hand balanced hands gloves damage bonus.

lol, 1 hit 1 kill, didn't even get a chance to use his off-hand attack(s) ! And this is just with a +1 sword, I'm already seeing +2 stuff.
I might just haste him, go afk, and he can call me when he's done killing everyone...
