  • Can a game that is completely designed around the use of actions and bonus actions be beaten without them?
    This is by far the dumbest thing I have done yet.

      you guys are acting like he's built a new niche way to beat the game when he's basically using the same hammerhraft build that's been a game breaking and heavily abused way to solo the game since it came out. all he did differently was find out the people were using spore druid to get a free potion use and use that to fly for free instead of using an action or bonus action.

    If you need a way to open locked chests without lockpicking, you can just pick up the chest, go to a trader, and then double click the chest in the trading window to drag the items to your inventory. Quest related chests like the one containing the Iron Flask won't normally show up in the trading menu, but if you place them inside of a pouch or backpack they'll appear in there. This actually allows you to steal the Iron Flask and return the locked chest to complete the quest.

    I found a slight cheese in my most recent honor mode playthrough. I stepped out into the goblin camp after killing the big 3 and got swarmed. My initiative was garbo for all except astarion (assassin with alert) So I immediately had him go back inside as my insurance policy just in case. Saw he got his actions back and decided to go back out.
    He got put in the current turn of initiative because of alert, got his actions back because of assassin so I could shoot again, get a free crit, bonus action dash, leave and return on loop. I had other party member's whose turns were holding up initiative, so I had inifinite ability to enter and leave combat firing arrows. Probably already the sort of thing in your repetoire but if not I wanted to let you know so you could experiment with it and maybe use it in a hard place in the future. I wouldn't have lost my honor run without it (hypnotic pattern for the win) but it was certainly fun to find my first infinite damage mechanic of my own

    I got another challenge for you: lonewolf, no summon, no controlable npc (temporary uncontrollable allies are ok), no damage (even from retaliation effect like the radiant helm in the creche or the jumping/flying hammer), no debuffing effect (not even throwing haste potions at people to make them lethargic). You can only kill people through dialogs, cutscenes, merging fights or by pushing them in an endless abyss (no floor). I'll leave it to you to figure out if there is a way to beat the apostle of myrkul (maybe chestmancy + buffing aylin ?) but if there truly isn't, you can make one exception just for him and actually damage him.
    Also the goal is not only to beat the game but also to solve as many encounters as possible.

    there is an infinite damage combo in act 3 with the armour you can buy after the tribunal accepts you, the boots of clamour and the monk spirit talisman. you simply toggle the armour's passive, then untoggle, then talk to the amulet, then repeat. anything close to you will take 2 stacks of reverb with no actions used.

    Fun fact: You don't have to go to the Arcane Tower to get Timmask spores. Whenever a Timmask mushroom goes off, it usually drops a spore or two. They despawn after a few seconds, but you have more than enough time to grab them (I recommend using someone with high Con to make the saves to resist being befuddled).
    However, in Act 1, you do have to go to the tower to get Tongue of Madness, so this fun fact is a bit of a moot point.

    Hey, I've got an idea for you.
    You can play BG3 as Sonic the Hedgehog.
    First: Take Wood elf for additional movement speed.
    For your class: Monk (step of the wind for additional movement speed or disengage (preferably disengage, I say why in a sec), and maybe thief for additional bonus action.
    For equipment you will need: Hamarhraft (main source of damage), boots that will give you lightning charge when dashing, bow of lightning, ring for additional 3m, ring that will boost thunder damage and the gloves of Belligerent Skies.
    Also you will need to get branding of the Absolute and dashing several times before battle (that will stack your dashes, for instance my monk at level 4 could run for 108 meters straight on turn one). Other little details you can refind by yourself to max your speed; damage etc.

      But then that means that dashing, shoving, throwing, improvised weapon attacks, etc. outside of combat is allowed, since it doesn't "cost" an action or bonus action.

      @@colacoca820 I guess it’s bit wierd because like dashing is on the action wheel even if it’s out of battle but like equipping stuff is not on action wheel like unequipping stuff so if that’s the case the only think you can do is just walk, and I guess do a reaction not even heal unless you rest

      Equipping items dont cost an action outside of combat in both bg3 and normal dnd
      The potions still have the bonus action tag underneath the description
