Yea I didn't even know why my discount went so high in act 3 until this thread. The astral tadpole upgrade makes a huge difference.
If I had realized this sooner I would have at least used the +1 persuasion ring when buying stuff, I think you get it in act 2 where you meat Jaheira from the tiefling kid. I bought it and used it for a bit until I had 2 strong caster rings to use instead.
So 15 persuasion halves the prices on everything compared to base price.
Also if you want to metagame you don't take persuasion / deception / intimidation proficiency and just use Wyll to buy stuff in act 1&2. I have Persuasion locked in from chargen, and intimidation from dark urge background. The tadpole power counts as both proficiency and expertise in all 3 speech skills.
Also sorry for the mega multipost above, I got a gateway timeout and kept hitting refresh :x
I try to delete the extra posts and it goes to another gateway timeout.
