So Half-illithid warlock Tav + storm cleric Shadowheart + Minthara hits like a truck apparently. Everyone has initiative bonuses, so first turn Minthara hastes Tav, Tav casts black hole to cluster all enemies together, then Hunger of Hadar’s them, Shadowheart then calls an upcasted Call Lightning with divine strike and obliterates everything. You can delete half the health of almost all the enemies in the first round if you get lucky, and they all get severe movement penalties from the black hole and hunger of hadar. Plus Astarion multi-classed rouge/fighter/gloomstalker with action surge and crit bonuses can pick off like 4 enemies in the first round too. Then Minthara smites the survivors into oblivion.
Fun times.
If you’re having fun with the black hole ability, make sure you keep an eye out for void bombs early game on you next play through.
Yeah I really need to use consumables more, I remember the void bombs from my first playthrough but since then they always just end up sitting in my inventory along with every other consumable in the game except for the one or two times I remember speed potions exist.
Yeah it’s weird. It’s really easy to forget to use your consumables in this game. It tries to help you out by automatically throwing them in your hot bar, but once the section on the side gets filled up and you get used to ignoring what’s there you may as well stop picking shit up

Wait, what do you mean by “ascend the tadpole act 1”?

Okay I didn’t even know you could get that ability from the monastery, I swear the amount of stuff to find in this game is ridiculous. Also I really should use Minsc sometime, always get him too late to use him much. Next run I’ll get him before the other companion quests and bring him along to go smack some vampires.
