    To kill Isobel without killing everyone else release Dame Aylin. The harpers and the Flaming fist will attack Moonrise tower while the Tieflings and Gnomes will use the distraction to make for baulder's gate while the absolute is distracted by the attack. Teleport in and kill Isobel.

      HOWEVER for some stupid reason, Dammon will remain in the inn,(which is the main reason I hate killing Isobel in the first place) because he sells some insane items in Act 3. Anyway, what you can do to save Dammon, is wait to kill Isobel until AFTER you kill Kethric. Dammon will no longer be in the inn and you can kill her by casting darkness, fog cloud or whatever to sneakily kill her. Also however, Fel will force take away the quest to kill Isobel if she’s isn’t dead by the time you storm Moonrise Towers. So, I ended up having to do like the entire moonrise towers siege and then the Kethric fight without long resting to avoid Fel.

      there is a druid modpack that makes it operate more like 5e and it includes an item that gives a turn of sanctuary after your wildshape is killed. It also turns wildshape into a ritual spell under certain conditions but even without that you can enter a fight in wildshape, get reverted back to humanoid form, and wildshape again 2 more times that fight (you wont need to). At max level this gives you an effective health pool much higher than just about anything you will fight. Even without these mods druid can pull off something similar, making it capable of being the most ridiculous tank in the game

    Really wish there were more transformations like this available outside of class choice. Its basically just slayer and displacer beast. Id love it if we had some that were tied to items like other spells. Or even potions. What I'd personally love is if you could contract lycanthropy and go down a story around that, though i understand that those kind of story beats would basically just mirror what you do with Durge.

      ​@@Omaha01 I just wish all of the forms were as well developed and fleshed out as owlbear and he myrmidons. Bear, badger, deep rothe, and panther are all the biggest losers in my opinion.
      Bear is just decent health and a complete downgrade to owlbear. It's taunt being completely useless as AI will always prefer to target you since your AC is basically non-existent.
      Deep rothe has 10 AC and the worst health scaling of all forms. At level 12 it's health is roughly equal to the badgers.
      Badger has 3 actions and no bonus actions. What? Burrow should 100% be a bonus action. Also, burrows prone effect is a flat DC 13 and there's no way to raise it. So it's just kinda terrible.
      Panthers invis is bugged and doesn't work properly. At level 8 and higher, the bonus damage no longer applies. Pounce, like burrow, is a flat DC 13 save and almost never works because of it. Coupled with the fact that it isn't a bonus action, and that panthers damage/attack rolls are from dexterity which it only has 15 of, panther is kinda crap. You can never use jugular strike of your own accord, always has to be another party member proving the enemies.

    5:00 Level 10, it’ll give you 3 attacks, and I think it also ups your stats. Also interesting build, if you happen to be doing a build with 3 levels in thief for the extra bonus action, the slayer actually carries it over to the slayer. Means you can use 2 of its bonus action abilities per turn.

    DC of all abilites tied to charisma, which is always 8 in slayer form, so about 10-11 DC. Surprisingly, passive dc boostings items carry over to slayer form, so wizards and sorcerers are probably the best choices to use transformation efficiently for 3 attacks with decent DC on abilites. Any martial is just heavily nerfing himself, unless you just want temp hp.

    Permanent bonuses to player's ability scores (Everlasting Vigour, Auntie Ethel's Boon, memories from Mirror of Loss) are carried over to Slayer form and are added to its ability scores. And since strength modifier is added to its normal attacks (Slay), you can get a damage boost, though negligible. Sadly, tavern brawler doesn't work with Slayer form (as of Patch 5).

    Fun fact! This fight is easy if you dont have slayer form yet if you are a warlock with the spell "Hunger of Hadar". It adds dificult terrain, blindness, cold damage, and prevents Orin from attacking if you are outside the radius. The only hard part is rolling initiative higher, I recomend using a speed potion for this, as she can stunlock you easily.

      Was easy with sorcadin tav, tempest shart, sorc gale and swords bard astarion with crossbows. The key is to have lots of hits and not get your party all feared. Left everyone hiding upstairs so they don't get in combat and paladin went in with heroism to not get feared. Then have caster with the Psychic Spark upcast max lvl magic missile wearing something that adds damage, like lighning charges or 2 damage ring vs illuminated. The magic missile blasts through the unkillable. Then have bard Slashing Flourish crossbows attacks with acid damage ring clear everything that's left if any. Orin was at ~50% hp when the paladin and tempest turns came with potions of speed.

  • @hgrues104
    @hgrues104 6 месяцев назад +2

    The best idea I have for the +4d6 slashing (conditional) on the Multiattack is an oversight leftover from an early version that was never fixed
    Looking in the comments, people are saying its the extra slashing against bleeding targets, but some testing of my own has proven that wrong
    The special interactions Multiattack has (from my findings) are:
    Bleeding: Each attack that hits deals an additional amount of damage equal to your Strength modifier (normally +5/+7 for under/at or above level 10)
    Dazed: Each attack that hits is a Critical Hit (+1d4 damage)
    None of the Slayer attacks benefit from effects that buff weapon attacks (eg. the Crusader's Mantle spell), but do apply effects that trigger on a critical hit (eg. Mortal Reminder for Great Old One warlocks) and any time you deal damage (eg. the Cull the Weak illithid power)

    I have a Durge tactician run on hiatus that I began a few months back, right after finishing the game as normal Tav. I got the slayer form in act 2 without killing Isobel or my romance partner.
    The only thing of note that I did was to let Marcus take Isobel. Scleritas Fel commended me afterwards for getting EVERYONE at the last light inn murdered by letting Isobel get kidnapped. I'm not sure if this is an intentional method by the game, or it just bugged out for me.
    My Durge run is heavily bugged out the wazoo. Minthara was my intended romance, but somehow the game placed me on the Lae'zel romance, AND got Minthara's romance activated at the same time. They don't mention each other or acknowledge that I'm basically two timing, which is odd because out of all the romances, I think those two would have the biggest problems being two timed like that.

    My preferred way of saving everybody in Last Light while killing Isobel is at the end of Act 2 where you triumph over Ketheric. While everybody is celebrating in Moonrise, just straight up kill isobel, and then run all the way to the Prison stairs so that you can get out of combat asap since everybody is only marked as temporarily hostile.
    If you have Jeheira be recruited as an ally and you try to long rest, she will be hostile but you can non-lethal her and then long rest and then she gets back up and ignores whatever happens (and so does everybody else, lol)

    I tried something in the name of Bh... er... science. (Honestly, just out of curiosity and because I saw people asking questions.)
    Will you still obtain slayer form when you already resisted killing your companion? What if Karlach is your romance? And won't your companions disapprove if you kill Isobel?
    I still had a savegame from immediately before I entered the Mind Flayer Colony with Karlach as my romance, already had resisted killing her. So with Karlach, Wyll and soon-to-be-Selûnite Shadowheart I went to Last Light Inn and had invisible Shovel attack Isobel. After the fight, Karlach mourned Dammon, but no disapproval from any of my companions. Which is kinda odd. I mean, we just killed an innocent NPC and they think it is OK?
    Went to camp, rested, obtained Slayer form. No one disapproves unless I actively mention the Slayer in dialog.
    What a weird way to keep a cake you've already eaten...
    Haven't checked yet if Jaheira (who is standing in front of the hole leading to the Mind Flayer Colony) will still be available as a companion. I don't intend to continue with this anyway. Was just an experiment.
    Found a video about how to kill only Isobel and no one else, but this may not work anymore with the latest patch. Was something with a companion killing Isobel then escape from Aylin and making sure no one sees it.

    You can kill Isobel immediately after arriving at Act 2. This is possible even if you have sided with the goblins and killed everyone at the Grove. First go into Last Light Inn and then go directly to Isobel(you may be stopped in a speech with the dude who helped you but leave him). To kill Isobel you have to talk to her about kidnapping her yourself. You will fight her and can kill her there. After that you can convince Jaheirah to join you and fight the now turned residents of Last Light Inn. To make the second fight easy prepare and position a lot of smoke/firewine barrels near the enemy spawn points of the second fight. Then light them up and have an easy fight. After the fight you can even convince Jaheirah to join you in the camp.

      Some patch (5 I think) made Tavern Brawler feat account for shapeshifting. TB does now stack with Slayer form, making it way better but probably still worse than a regular TB build like Open Hand monk. Thief's extra bonus action carries over as well, allows great synergy with the prone/dazed/bleeding effects. Paladin auras carry over as well. Precasting a concentration spell works too. Oh, and the free extra 150 hp come in handy when you try a solo run.
