== Gameplay ==

As a [[Fighter]], Lae'zel should be at the forefront of most combat situations. At level 1, she comes with the two-handed [[Fighting Style]] Great Weapon Fighting. She is capable of withstanding heavy damage and dealing heavy damage back to enemies in return. A [[Githyanki]], she has access to several very useful mobility spells as she levels, including [[Mage Hand]], [[Enhance Leap]], and eventually [[Misty Step]]. At level 3, Lae'zel gains a [[Fighter]] subclass which allows her to broaden her list of martial abilities or diverge into something different, such as enhancing her combat abilities with spellcasting.

== Recruitment ==

==== Main recruitment ====

Lae'zel can be recruited in [[Act One]].

* Lae'zel is first encountered on the [[Nautiloid]] during the [[Prologue]]. While escaping from the nautiloid, she joins the party as a temporary companion. She leaves the party after successfully escaping.

* Lae'zel is encountered again a second time in the [[Wilderness]]. She has been captured in a wooden cage by two Tieflings, [[Damays]] and [[Nymessa]]. If the player is able to free her, she can be invited to join the party.

* If she dies during the Tutorial level, her body will be found at the beach starting area. Using a [[scroll of Revivify]] on her will bring her back to live and players can recruit her.

* If players progress further to the [[Emerald Grove]] and trigger the scene at the gates, she will break out of her cage and disappear, killing [[Damays]] and [[Nymessa]] if they are still alive. She can then be found later on and be recruitable again.

* After breaking out of the cage, or if players refused her joining up with them until this point, she will show up when players encounter the Githyanki near the [[Mountain Pass]]. Players have another chance to recruit her there if she doesn't turn hostile during the encounter. If she dies during it as an ally or neutral, she can be resurrected and still join.

* If players miss all the recruitment opportunities above, or refuse her in them, she can be found again one final time near the first waypoint in the [[Location|region]] where the [[Crèche Y'llek|Crèche]] is located for a final recruitment opportunity.

* If players proceed inside the Crèche without recruiting Laezel either in party or in camp, she will be missing from the mountain pass. If players proceed to the shadowcursed lands, they will find her as an undead there, permanently dead. She went the wrong way when trying to find the Crèche.

== Background ==

Lae'zel is a Githyanki Warrior from [[Crèche]] K'liir, a githyanki enclave on an asteroid near Selûne, the moon of Faerûn.

=== Romance ===

The following section explains Lae'zel's romance.

Once the player character reaches (20) approval with her, they can note that Lae'zel has been looking at them differently. Which will initiate a dialogue chain in which she admits to having been wrong in judging the player character and offers to later sleep with them. The player can then choose to either agree to the offer, decline it, or make fun of the offer. If the player refers to Lae'zel as a "girlfriend", she will say that its all just about the sex and once again asks if the player will accept or deny the offer.

Regardless of who takes charge, the player will wake up next morning - in pain. Lae'zel will insist it was just for pleasure and might or might not lay with the player again.

== Trivia ==

* Lae'zel is voiced by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4959536/?ref_=tt_cl_t_8 Devora Wilde].
