I Am Tired Of Killing Collared Slaves

[Double_O]

How do Paladins’ Free Drow Slaves?
I have tried to find the skill checks for removing the collars from the Drow… below is the only thing I could find, I found it for a quest on ddowiki. .. My lvl 22 Paladin has killed many of slave because he fails all the skill checks, the best option that he has is Concentration which his skill is 33 which means he has to roll a true 20 to remove the collar according to the numbers below..
Could someone sit me strait… Point me to the correct skill checks numbers, and/or tell me how you removed the collars from the slaves using a Paladin

Thanks All…

Unlocking collars is a straight strength check, or skill + d20.
o Concentration: casual 46 succeeded, normal 53 succeeded, hard 58-60
o Strength: normal 50 succeeded, elite : 55 failed 56 succeeded
o Open Lock: normal 52 failed 67 passed
o UMD: normal 40-42, hard 46-47
o Repair: hard 65 failed
o Disable Device: hard: 58

I usualy go for UMD check on my paly, its not a no fail, but still best bet, for me atleast.

Invite a rogue to join you

Conc skill:

At level 20 = 23
At level 22 = 25
You have 33 so I'm going to guess that your +8 comes only from con. So your con is 26. GH will give +4 to the skill check and a conc item to swap in will give +15.

Whenever I am in a party with my Rogue I am always asked to do it.

Or a monk, the concentration check is a cinch.

You freed their souls.

What more could you want to do as a paladin?

[My2Cents]

I agree. My pally really doesn't feel like using a Bell of Opening.

So I have to kill all these slaves and not get the bonus.

I love my Pally, even if we're 2nd class citizens sometimes.

edit: Title was supposed to read "We can't free them but we sure look good tryin'"

Bring a rogue. Always bring a rogue or ?Wiz/2Rogue for anything unless you know for a fact there are no traps.

Ha, you get TOLD!!!


BTY OP, you should try it with an AA ranger.

LOL!! I need to start passing the plate before attempting to remove the collar..

He's a Southern Baptist Paladin

Thanks All

I'm going to assume DoS here (you didn't say anything) Con: 16 +2 tome + 6 item + 6 DoS stance= 30 = +10
Concentration: 23 ranks + 15 item (don't have to be on all the time, just hotswap it for these situations) + 10 con + 5 GS Conc-opp hp item + 4 draconic necklace or gird (GH) + 1 prayer = 58 +2 epic = 60 (55 if your conc-opp is a SP item).

Should be enough for no-fail on normal, ~70% on hard, I think.

Invite a rogue to join you

Or hire one from the epic hireling vendor.

He'd just shoot off the collar... or talk the drow slavemaster into removing it himself, then shoot the slavemaster.

Interesting information that I explored and confirmed with my monk.

When in Sschindylryn and encountering slaves...

1. If the slave is a drow, intentionally kill it. These count toward your kill count.
2. If the slave is a villager, leave them alone. They aren't worth your time because they do not count toward your kill count and they do not count toward your Liberator: Slaves count, either.

This is why you shouldn't feel guilty about killing the slaves.

They were collaborators the entire time!

Not every class, nor is every build, going to be able to complete every optional objective in the game.

Depending on the objective, and or depending on the toon being played with, there are times that some optionals just simply have to be bypassed.

Most quests only give a very limited amount of options for completing, therefore I was glad that they included so many different options for doing that type of optional in the new content.

[arkonas]

i gotta agree with them. there has been plenty of times where i find myself not able to do the optional. i just shrug my shoulders and keep moving on. either get a party together or just keep soloing.

[Dolphious]

IMO it's more of an example of something where they made too many options which made it such that only a handful of random builds couldn't do it.

Probably should have been just disable device, maybe UMD also. Throwing in concentration and STR was silly, those shouldn't be general utility skills because they have plenty of combat value.

Tangentially I dislike any time that STR is giving additional utility. 90% of melee builds are max STR anyway, why further reward the cookie cutters with things like drider trip line being an STR check? Especially when there are underutilized skills out there like balance that would fit perfectly.
