He is hoarding junk although already has +3 items in inventory.
I thought - from DDO - that only Cold Iron was able to bypass demon's DR ?

True Seeing will ignore Displacement, Greater Invisibility and even Mirror Images. If you keep Camellia around, she can cast a mass version that will buff all the party around level 9.
If anyone has a great tip for building a crossblood sorcerer, feel free to dump it here. I've got one at level 2 that took fire elemental and one of the 3 fire dragon builds and has so far focused on skill focus fire magic twice and I think spell penetration.
My goal (if I play long enough), is to take the ascendant fire magic that will make enemies no longer have protection from my fire magic and then burn evil to the ground I did take the warrior/soldier background so I can use a short sword/light armor/lt. Xbow with some skill. I really won't wear the armor much as I have magic to boost my AC to respectable levels and it's not like I'll stay on the front line. I'll sneak in a few attacks once everyone has a companion engaged.
I do like that I get 8 or so shots of a flame arrow type spell for free with elemental fire magic. That elemental ray is great for saving on other spells for the bigger battles.
So have fun with the build and experiment. That's how I have decided to play as I tried Core and it wasn't for me. The main issue I had in Core was in the Market when 4 Shadows killed my characters by doing Stat damage rather than HP damage
My character seems to be losing their melee attack action in turn-based mode. Started recently, no idea if it is connected to patch, or some gear I am wearing. I just seem to have a move action, but can cast spells or do anything else….it is incredibly frustrating. I have lost some close fights because my character ran up to deliver a final blow, and did nothing. I have this little "!" underneath the portait, which I think means you can't act, but I have no negative status effects etc. And as I said, worked perfectly until now. I know TB mode is supposed to be a little dodgy, but it's mostly been fine and I can't go back to RTwP - it' just too chaotic, especially when so many abilties are move equivalent…and you can *precisely* target AOE effects and spells in TB-mode which you simply can't in RTwP. Any ideas on how to fix this?
EDIT: I tried turning TB off/on quickly, after combat starts, but that does nothing. Some have suggested skipping a turn…but that's not a solution. I usually get one melee attack, and then it starts misbehaving. I'm playing a magus, but this happens even if I don't use touch spells.
Thanks Nereida - I have also tried splitting into move+action before, when I noticed that sometimes a character couldn't attack, until you moved them right up to the target. Also had that issue with heals - ouch…now Ember has a 'reach' heal, which is great (avoids that issue mostly). The interface basically shows that I only have a move and then has this "!" underneath - this is what is worrying me. It's something new since the last patch (I think…well, certainly last 2 days). Prior to that I would occassionally have the issues you described, but this seems to be something more serious? I had an encounter in the Abyss where I was robbed while I slept, and all my equipment was auto-removed…I think it started after that. Usually eveything is fine for the 1st round, and then I lose my actions (besides 1 move). Maybe it's a curse ;-)
I think that would be fine, but it requires not only dnd knowledge. It actually requires complete meta knowledge of the encounter.Here is a tip for that encounter in particular. It's also one of the things I love about DnD, but it can deter others. Often, these situations are trivial if you have the knowledge about the game, but more often than not this information is very hard to learn by newer/inexperienced players, and the game does not do much to inform you about it.
In this particular instance, you can buy a scroll/potion of "Death Ward" at the base, for a mere 1250 gold. That spell makes the one using it completely impervious to level draining, which in turn makes the encounters around the Market graveyard into free XP pinatas, since those creatures don't even harm you, they just drain you until you die. You can just send someone with the spell ahead to draw their attention while the rest of the party peels the minor ghouls off and eventually kills the shadows at very low risk and investment.
This is one of some gimmicky encounters you will face where knowledge trumps minmaxed builds, even at the highest difficulties. Other similar examples are bodaks, swarms, deskari demons and others, that just knowing the one spell that completely counters all they can do to you wins the battle before it even begins.

This thread is so bloated - if possible someone filter the random stuff and rewrite only actual musts in a thread."Death Ward"
Cyborgs in Blackwater were stronger than intended - fixed;

When something affects your character, it should be noted on the character's page. I have no idea what this "!" is supposed to mean.Here's one where it was my turn next - Merialla. You can see the "!" under her portait. When I saw that on other characters, they were unbale to act/stunned/confused. In one case due to Aivu's fear effect…I wonder if that is somehow affecting my character, even though it is nots hown? hm.

Finding the right scroll / potion can be pretty challenging. Sure, the most common ones such as healing potions are pretty easy to recognize, but for those you don't need that often such as Death Ward, it's much more difficult. I wish the interface was different and/or that we could have a search bar.
