I cheat my way out of dying 99% of the time, but I did

Same as Tarlonniel. I ... trolled someone, I shouldn't have trolled and I would do it again for funsies.

"So, this is honor mode huh? This is too easy, I'm winning everything too quick. I'm going to roleplay more and just approach everything without a tactical thought and not always claiming the first turn."

Alright, on to 'saving' a certain Drow in the Underdark.

"Waaaahaaaaa look at these Duergar fall. I'm still kicking arse!"
- Blam! Shadowheart is in the lava, dead.
- Okay, reposition Gale and raise her on the shore. Survival instinct on her, done. She can heal herself up pretty quickly.
- Blam! Gale in the lava, dead. Oh, well, shit. Never mind. I can win this without Gale, heal up Shadowheart and I'll raise him after.
- Blam! Shadowheart in the lava, dead. Oh, ffs. Fine. Between Astarion and Karlach, we can take out these bastards easily.
- Blam! Karlach is charmed. Oooooooh shit.
- Blam! Karlach being my main character, she is *loaded* as teh designated hitter with all the best stuff. Murders Astarion in a single turn.

I managed to finish the fight with just Karlach, but it was definitely close.

I once got crushed to death. By a pike. That I was throwing.

One time I got curious and
I also called the bluff of
I've died several times because I forget that holding a torch (Or burning weapon like the Everburn Blade) will automatically ignite surfaces you walk on which often gives a surprise in

Not the way we usually die to Astarion, but I'm sure he enjoyed that too.

I once jumped and landed too near to a torchstalk and got yeeted into a chasm. Was just me on my lonesome, noone to revive me.

1 of my First Runs i Mocked Vlakith in the encounter..
I was the Durge in that Run and i was a True Cyco scumbag too..haha
so i Waived for her.. like yu guys see in the videos..
But then of course i had to keep making Fun of the Game.. so..xD
yeah.. yu guys knows whats happen.haha
was really fun to see that first Time, i did not had see on Youtube Yeat so was First Hand a Slap in a Face from the Game..haha xD

I've never done this death before XD

LOL. Downed 75% of your team in one go xD I haven't tried Honor Mode yet. I'm glad temporary death doesn't count towards perma-death. I was expecting any type of death = GAME OVER. At least if you have one character left, you have the option to FLEE, resurrect and come back. The first playthrough I tried the catwalks, and took fall damage and got thrown into the lava. I now stay on the ground and use sleet storm to make the Duegar slip, fall and waste their actions standing back up. :p

I didn't die, but I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE! I had the everburn blade on Lae'Zel

*smirks* Well, you know, it can't always be sexy-time darling.

Okay, real talk, was it the torchstalk near the


Aww, so cute. Like this:


I'm amused so many of you guys died to Vlakith. I have Lae'Zel in my party when I go to the creche and she's always like "DON'T DO IT. DON'T DO IT. I KNOW YOU WANT TO DO IT, BUT DON'T :| :| :|"

I think my list will be growing with the new Honour Mode. I thought I'd give it a try last night. I wasn't too far in, I was at the ancient ruins. I had just talked the group of looters into leaving. Next thing I know, they fall through the cracked floor and get cornered by the looters inside. I was only level 2, I didn't stand a chance because the only way out of that room you fall into is through the enemies. I hadn't shot down the cinder block or anything. The group outside had left. I think my party just stepped on it.

So I started a new save as a deep gnome DUrge paladin. I was doing ok at first. I had heard the owlbear was "tough" so I avoided that until level 4 and went back for it, thinking that was a safe level. Next thing I know, "SURPRISE!" and the mama bear summoned her mate. I had just about managed to flee with Gale when the second owlbear crush leaped him.

I'm now on my third Honour Mode attempt. I'll report back once I've died very stupidly because I know I will.

Another Pretty Funny..
That was the First Time i tried make a Solo Run..
Went evrything Nice.. was Blazing actually but then.. i get to underdark
And before this run always went using the Zentharin..
So this time i use the Secret Door in Goblins Camp
(i Let Pristess Try to kill me.)
Get phalar becouse i was a Palock then i went down the tunnel to go to Mushroon Camp..
The Bullet Jump out of the Hole am trow me out.. huahauhauha
i Just Watch my char flying away.. i never had met hin there using this Route.. xD
(i Was like Destroying the Game to Die like these.. Jesus.haha)

This was not in Honnor but i was Playing in the hardest that had back then.
no joke i was like the Doomslayer in this Run.. Rip & Tear!

Well, if you're a Loviatar worshipper...


Lol yes, that's the one. I saw it there. I knew what would happen if I jumped. And I did it anyway.

I jumped into the chasm in the Whispering Depths and forgot to cast feather fall.

Keep in mind that I play with an AI mod, so this happened without any input from me, which is what makes it my funniest kill.

Astarion had a Thunder Wave scroll on him, and he managed to get right up next to the Spider Queen and use it to push her into the abyss very early in the battle.

I think we should make a compilation video of all our stupid deaths and set it to "Dumb Ways To Die".

I died when I *beep* with Haarlep. I was just curious!

I’ll stick with the highlight from my current Honour mode run. The second one because the first run ended abruptly at around char level 3, but nothing particularly noticeable about it.

This was yesterday.

Scene: clearing Githyanki after defeating the bosses (beware the captain! Harder than the inquisitor if you are not careful!).

Fight: easy one, the youths in training room.

Smart play: I’m out of all resources but let’s rest later and place a few barrels in the doorway, all the melee will come!

Then I trigger the encounter while placing barrels, githyanki instructor shoots something at them and bam! two characters down and others badly wounded.

Turned out to be almost a wipe, lot of scrolls and potions gone in this one. *sad face*

The kill that pleased me most was during the big endgame fight in the burning city against the mindflayers, absolutes and goblins. (So we're all lvl 12 at this point)

Note, I prefer the RP and am not a specialist in fighting, so every big or boss fight on balanced mode is a big challenge for my party to survive. So it may not be a big deal for the experienced honour mode fighters.

Gale had cast a cloudkill on a region containing a few enemies who died in the next two turns, but there was still a sneaky way to get around it apparently and an inquisitor of the absolute (95 hp) managed to get up the rampart and arrived in front of the cloud.

My lvl 10 bard/lvl2 warlock threw eldritch blast at her. That flung her into the cloudkill and killed her completely. I don't think any of my PC ever did so much damage to an opponent in one action. It felt so good.
(I love that class combination by the way.)

The stupidest kill was on my sweetheart shadowheart. I thought I was targetting the enemy next to her, but then it turned out I blasted shadow. Yea, when the fighting is intense I get stressed sometimes and do surprisingly stupid things.

Dumbest death: seeing a bunch of explosives thrown on the ground and thinking I could explode just one of them. Wiped all the enemy with half my party, at least.

Funniest kill: broke so-and-so's "unshakeable will" with Vicious Mockery. just... imagine surviving 9x greatsword attacks from a githyanki. a sneak attack coming out of nowhere. Then some guy with a flute calls you a twerp and that's it, you're f'ing done.

I don't need to imagine, I'm grinning because there was a DnD skit that did exactly what you just described:


Blood tears and all 8'D "You just insulted a grown man to death."
