Even casting aside that last one, the odds to steal the sword with a buffed bear skyrocket to '''98%.''' Even so, critical misses exist and sometimes the sword will despawn when dropped seemingly at random.

The [[Divination School|Divination]] [[Wizard]] passive feature {{SAI|Portent}} allows you to change an attack roll from your party from a fail to a success. This allows you to guarantee a hit with honeyed paws, which disarms without any saving throw. A base bear with no buffs require a die of 15 to hit, but buffing it will lower the required number all the way down to 2 if you have 98% hit chance. You can take a full or [[partial rest|partial]] [[long rest]] to replace your portent dice if you do not have one of a high enough number.

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).
