Summoning a Permanent Familiar

If you thought familiars were only for spellcasters, think again! In the Blighted Village of Act One, there's a hidden area where you can discover a secret summonable character known as Shovel. What's unique about Shovel is that he can be a permanent summon, serving various purposes beyond being a meat shield. To summon Shovel, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Locate the wooden hatch in the southern part of the Blighted Village.
2. Pull the lever behind the crates to reveal a secret passage.
3. Explore the area and find the caskets.
4. One of the caskets contains the summon for Shovel.
5. Make sure you have a character with level 1 in spellcasting.
6. Use the summon scroll and engage in a conversation with Shovel.
7. Choose the dialogue options carefully to successfully recruit Shovel as your companion.
8. Enjoy the benefits of having a permanent summon with invisibility and scare abilities.

Pros:

• Shovel acts as a reliable meat shield.
• Invisibility allows you to access restricted areas.
• Scare ability can incapacitate enemies in the early game.

Cons:

• Shovel's summon is a one-time use scroll.
• Requires a character with spellcasting abilities.

Increasing Vendor Attitude for Better Deals

Have you ever wished for better prices from vendors? Well, there's a way to improve your attitude with vendors, which translates to more gold when selling items or lower prices when purchasing. Here's a simple trick to achieve this:

1. Approach the vendor you wish to improve your attitude with.
2. Enter the barter interface and offer them valuable items for free.
3. The vendor will be pleased, resulting in an increase in attitude.
4. Enjoy the benefits of improved attitude for future transactions.

Pros:

• Get more gold when selling items.
• Purchase items for lower prices.

Cons:

• The increase in attitude may be tied to your character's level.

Quick Inventory Management Tips

Managing inventory can be tedious, but with these handy tips, you can streamline the process and save time:

1. Drag and Drop: Instead of right-clicking and choosing options, simply drag and drop items onto characters or containers to transfer them quickly and efficiently.
2. Mass Storage: When depositing items into storage chests or backpacks, click and drag the items onto the container's icon instead of manually arranging them.
3. Ctrl + Click: Use this shortcut to select items and perform actions like selling or moving them in bulk.
4. Shift + Click: Hold down the Shift key while clicking to select multiple items at once.

Assassinating and Robbing with Obscuration

Cloud of obscuration or silence can be powerful tools for covert assassination and thievery. By casting spells like fog cloud or darkness, you can obscure an area where your target is located. This allows you to eliminate them discreetly without alerting nearby NPCs. Silence further ensures that their screams go unheard. Here's how to perform a stealthy takedown:

1. Cast an obscuring spell in the desired area.
2. Make sure the target is within the obscured zone.
3. Dispatch the target swiftly and silently.
4. Loot the unconscious target without any suspicion.

Pros:

• Eliminate targets without being detected.
• Loot valuable items without consequences.

Cons:

• Requires the use of spells and careful planning.

Restoring Spell Slots without Long Rest

Resting to restore spell slots can be time-consuming, especially in critical situations. However, there's a way to regain spell slots without the need for a long rest. Follow these steps:

1. Go to camp and ask the spellcaster with expended slots to leave the party temporarily.
2. Engage in combat with the spellcaster and deal a minimal amount of damage.
3. The spellcaster will use a healing ability to restore their health.
4. Invite the spellcaster back to the party.
5. Observe that their spell slots, except for the highest level, are replenished.
6. Resume your adventure without the need for a time-consuming long rest.

Pros:

• Regain spell slots quickly.
• Avoid the delay caused by long rests.

Cons:

• The highest level spell slots may not be restored.

Canceling Concentration Spells

Concentration spells can be vital in combat, but there may come a time when you need to cancel them. Whether it's to conserve spell slots or end the effects of a spell prematurely, here's how to cancel concentration spells:

1. Locate the character who cast the concentration spell.
2. Look for the active spell icon below their portrait.
3. Click on the X symbol next to the spell icon to cancel the concentration effect.
4. The spell will end, and the character can use their concentration for other spells or abilities.

Pros:

• Regain the use of concentration for other spells or abilities.
• End the effects of a spell before its duration ends.

Cons:

• No notable drawbacks.

Pre-Buffing and Pre-Casting for Fights

Preparing for a challenging fight can make all the difference in your success. Pre-buffing and pre-casting spells before battle gives you a significant advantage. Follow these steps to ensure you enter combat with a tactical advantage:

1. Determine the spells that will benefit your party the most in the upcoming fight.
2. Cast these spells on your party members before initiating combat.
3. Use turn-based mode to apply buffs quickly and efficiently.
4. Engage in combat immediately after finishing the pre-buffing phase.
5. Enjoy the improved performance and increased chances of victory in the fight.

Pros:

• Start battles with advantageous buffs already active.
• Enhance the combat capabilities of your party members.

Cons:

• Requires strategic planning and knowledge of upcoming battles.
