WEB trap annoying AF

[Ernst Stavro Blofeld]

I know it was like this on old Baldurs Gate games, but here it seems to be even worse, activating web trap bogs game literally for minutes, when you can go make a cofee, reply for email, walk your dog etc, definitely kills game flow.

Try not to activate it, and yes traps do hurt/stall you thats what traps do.

I know, but is very easy to activate when spiders stand on top of traps and you just melee into them

is there any counter spell, like a free movement spell/ring from old D&D games?

I have seen a free movement spell floating around.

Could it be that enemies are not affected by their own traps, but the player is?

There most likely is but i havent seen it yet, i believe there is also teleport although i also did not see it yet.
I know what you mean i was also waiting for my dwarf for like 7 minutes to crawl out of the web.
But hey it gives me time to get coffee ;)

The web spell is great for the same reason

It immedietaly gave me ptsd flashbacks to than one forrest location in Baldurs Gate I full of web traps and spiders, it was my least favourite location in a whole game, because it took so long to get through.. second place goes to narrow tunnels full of traps just before final fight with Sarevok, that messed pathfinding of your group all the time.. oh the memories

Harrim's reflexes are atrocious

[DracoDruid]

Maybe those trap effects should vanish early if there is no fight going on?

[Greb]

Nothing like having Slow cast on you as the last round and then being forced to walk around at a snails pace for 30+ seconds after the fight is over.

I quite literally just had to stand still for the entire duration of the web trap, because my cleric was unable to beat the check XD

Web duration maybe long dev, but Web 5' Web should be able to be burnt with torch

You're supposed to be able to burn your way out (at the cost of doing minor damage to anyone stuck inside) but they removed that option.

Wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem if webs were flammable like in the tabletop version of pathfinder. There are also supposed to be alchemical solutions like alchemical solvent, but I haven't seen that being sold by any of the vendors (and Jubilost can't craft it himself b/c there are no crafting skills or feats like in the tabletop version). The freedom of movement spell is in the game, but it's a 4th level spell so it's not going to be available to your clerics until you reach level 7, and a potion or scroll of it isn't exactly cheap if you need it before then; fortunately for me in my playthrough I found a nice heavy mace with a constant FoM on it which I gave to Harrim.
