2. ⚙️ Preparation for the Perfect Heist: Settings and Key Spells
· Settings Change: In Options > Gameplay, you must disable 'Karmic Dice'. While Karmic Dice attempts to balance luck, it can force unfavorable dice rolls during a heist.
· Essential Spells: For spellcasting characters such as Wizards, Clerics, or Druids, prepare the following two spells:
· Fog Cloud: A Level 1 Conjuration spell that blocks line of sight, preventing detection by guards.
· Feign Death: A Level 3 Abjuration spell that causes the target NPC to be treated as an object or container rather than a character. As a result, the NPC will not have line of sight, will not react to failed dice rolls, and will not call guards.

4. 🎯 Step-by-Step Guide to Executing the 'Comatose Heist' Perfectly
· We'll explain the perfect heist method using Rua Moonglow in the Goblin Camp as an example.
· Step 1: Offer a Bribe
· Open the trade menu with the merchant and offer 400-500 gold for free in the 'Offer' tab to raise their Attitude to 100. Success is indicated when the circle beneath the merchant turns green. (Don't worry, you'll steal this money back later.)
· Step 2: Lock Dialogue
· Have your 'face' character (e.g., Wyll or your protagonist) speak to the merchant and keep the dialogue screen open. As long as the dialogue is active, the merchant will be fixed in place, and spell timers will not decrease in real-time.
· Step 3: Smoke Screen and Induce Coma
· Switch to your spellcasting character and cast 'Fog Cloud' to cover the merchant, blocking the line of sight of nearby guards.
· Then, cast 'Feign Death' on the merchant, causing them to lose consciousness and collapse.
· Step 4: Enter Turn-Based Mode
· Enter Turn-Based Mode (Shift+Space) to ensure spell effects persist indefinitely.
· Step 5: Infinite Looting
· Switch to your rogue character, enter the Fog Cloud, and crouch.
· Open the merchant's inventory and steal all items. It's easier to steal small bundles of gold multiple times than a large bundle all at once.
· Even if you fail a dice roll, the merchant is in 'Feign Death' and will not wake up or become hostile.
