You give the enemy barbarian an intelligence save, not a strength one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] aaaa@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) Now that you have spelled it out for me, I realize this should have been obvious. I have not been paying attention to what kind of saves each spell has, or how to make sure I use the right one on the right enemy. I imagine that should help quite a bit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago It’s okay - DMing multiple campaigns for sweaty tryhards just massively overprepared me for anything BG3 could throw at me 😅 the solution to many dumb character builds is talking to them about it outside of the game like an adult “okay, roll me a [weakest stat] save”. Many bosses will be immune to several effects, and scouting what exactly you’ll be facing is time consuming if even possible, so it definitely can fall into a “run into fight - oh I need change my spell list - reload quicksave” which is a little lame but you can’t always be prepared for everything unfortunately. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago Also! Make sure to check their save proficiencies - It should be represented with a little hexagon around 2 or so ability scores. Obviously you usually want to avoid rolling against that score. permalink fedilink source parent
