A level five [[Beastmaster]] can summon an [[Ursa Major]] companion that knows the ability {{SAI|Honeyed Paws}}. This ability results in an automatic disarm if the Attack Roll hits and, though it requires melee range, summoned creatures can entering kissing distance without initiating the cutscene. Unlike all the other options, this requires no saving throw, making Voss's armour class the only layer of defense. With the bear's raw stats, completely unbuffed, this is already a '''45% success chance.''' | A level five [[Beastmaster]] can summon an [[Ursa Major]] companion that knows the ability {{SAI|Honeyed Paws}}.

Even so, critical misses exist and sometimes the sword will despawn when dropped seemingly at random, so there's still no such thing as a free lunch (or sword). | ||

Once the sword is dropped, the party will still have a fight on its hands with the remainder of the githyanki patrol, so make sure their builds haven't been too narrowly skewed towards boosting the odds. Once they emerge victorious, they can pick the sword up off the ground and throw it on [[Lae'zel]] for outrageous boosts that are typically gated behind many, many more ability checks, boss battles, and many hours of raw gameplay (and also some specific narrative paths). | Once the sword is dropped, the party will still have a fight on its hands with the remainder of the githyanki patrol, so make sure their builds haven't been too narrowly skewed towards boosting the odds.
