How’s you play through going?
haha.
All I’ll say is ‘protection from petrification’…
I love that!
Nice - cannon party. ☺️
I don't blame you for ditching Garrick, regular bards in BG are meh (unlike IWD where I think they're great!).
There is a plethora of potential companions - I'm deliberately trying ones this time I've not tried before (with the exception of Minsc because... well Minsc). Mine is Blade - Ajantis - Misnc - Yesslick - Alora - Neera (who also summoned a demon on me once but thankfully I was high enough level to kill it).
The 'Garden' I mention is the area known as Mutamin's Garden... lots of XP but big risk of instant death if you aren't prepared (I can give a spoiler if you like).
She sounds awesome. I've not played as a Kensai. Who have you got backing her up party wise at the moment (other than Minsc)?
Have you been to the 'Garden' lots of Xp there if you're prepared...
My Blade and his party have just entered the lower levels of Durlag's Tower - think I'm high enough level to get through it without it being a complete nightmare.
Oooph no arcane at all!?! That sounds brutal for the loss of crowd control! Horror and sleep have saved my bacon more times than I'd like to count!
I'm sure it's possible but I'll not envy you trying!
Battle axe and a bastard sword sounds like a quick way to turn people into mincemeat haha.
She's a pain if she gets those hold persons off and to stick. I've found two good ways to deal with her - 1. Have yourself a cleric in the party before you deal with her, they can fire off command and put her down quicker than she can cast hold. 2. Stick an oil of speed on someone with a fast weapon to try and get the interrupt (even better if you can use a potion of invisibility on Monty or Imoen and then oil of speed to get a backstab in as well). think in this play I used offensive spin on my blade to get the haste effect and interrupt her casting, if I remember correctly.
I never played them back in the day, picked them (BGEE, BG2EE, IWD and Planescape Torment) up for iPad during Covid lockdown as I spotted them and they were on sale.
Those are some pretty potent stats you rolled there!
What pips did you go for?

Metro Bank Cup Starts Today
(i.imgur.com)
First day of the Metro Bank Cup (English county 50 over tournament).
It’ll be interesting to see how the counties go with some of the key limited overs players also on Hundred duty - a chance for fringe and youth players to stake a claim perhaps!
Might need to leave a saucer of milk out tonight…
Enjoyed that way more than I thought I would.

Haha easily done - better to get waylaid by another game that incurring restartitis which is a common problem I have with RPGs... ooh what about this class...
