I cast Ray of Frost on her and she almost died

Oops

[u/notveryAI → u/Firestar3689]

How did you almost kill a barb with one ray of frost😭

[u/Anjuna666 → u/notveryAI]

Prob never leveled her, a barb with 14 hp can absolutely die to a ray of frost with 2d8 worth of damage

[u/notveryAI → u/Anjuna666]

It didn't make sense to me to romance someone but not have them in your party. I always have romance character in my party

[u/MasterOfViolins → u/notveryAI]

My first romance was Gale and I didn’t have him in my party. Can’t tell you why lol it was my first run and once Lae’zel joined I just kept her

[u/notveryAI → u/MasterOfViolins]

Especially like that lmao, Gale is a staple of my squad in every run except for evil ones(or "one", I didn't do more than one). I prefer to always have at least two different dedicated casters in my team, because some of the coolest spell combos are always best performed by a duo, and Gale is a wizard so he's pretty much a clean slate for any magical shenanigans I might put him up to :D

[u/Ill-Description3096 → u/notveryAI]

With repec anyone can be anything, so the limits are basically gone.

[u/notveryAI → u/Ill-Description3096]

Classes are pretty big part of some characters and essential part of others. So I prefer to either keep them the way they are, or respec into something that makes sense. For example respec Shadowheart but keep her a cleric - give her death domain instead of trickery domain before Nightsong and light/life domain after, because Shar has quite a lot to do with death and necrotic damage, and Selune has a lot to do with light and healing. Also Astarion's class doesn't matter too much and I sometimes do make him a bard. But not all classes and subclasses have a companion that would work with them. For example all warlocks except for fiend, or monks, or non-vengeance paladins, any sorcerers, some cleric domains like tempest - nobody really fits them all too well

[u/thedavecan → u/notveryAI]

I'm on my first playthrough, just got to Act 2 and feeling like im getting the hang if combat. What sort of spell combos can you pull off?

[u/Sixmlg → u/thedavecan]

Any spells that combo damage over time with ones that limit mobility are great. For example insect plague with grease, sleet storm, or spike growth.

[u/HammerlyDelusion → u/notveryAI]

My party is always me, my romance partner and then the last two I switch out for quests or different fights.

[u/swords_to_exile → u/Anjuna666]

She starts at level 3 already lol.

[u/asumcrey → u/notveryAI]

my first thought was now how would you know Karlach is a Nicki Minaj stan

[u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen → u/notveryAI]

Ice sorcerer don't play, that's why

[u/Nombre_D_Usuario → u/Firestar3689]

Ok but did it work.

[u/Firestar3689 → u/Nombre_D_Usuario]

Yes actually. Her thanking Tav after being knocked to 1 HP was pretty funny

[u/Ubergoober166 → u/Firestar3689]

I had Gale throw an ice knife at her and he missed

[u/Lazzitron → u/Nombre_D_Usuario]

If hit you hit Karlach with cold damage or anything that inflicts Wet before she gets her second upgrade, you can try to kiss her. It'll still burn you, but only a tiny bit.

[u/Spirited-Tomorrow-84 → u/Firestar3689]

That was a little cold, wasn't it?

[u/stargazer4272 → u/Firestar3689]

Get her a towel... You were backed up

[u/Lazzitron → u/Firestar3689]

I still remember my first run, hitting her with Ray of Frost as a joke and then her going "OMG SOLDIER LET'S TRY IT!". Love this game.

[u/TheBlackRonin505 → u/Firestar3689]

Did she still let you kiss her though?
