“	Who am I? Your only chance of survival. And you mine, though it pains me to say it.	„
	— Lae'zel introduces herself.

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 Chapter 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.

Alternative recruitment opportunities

• 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 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 does 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 region where the Crèche is located for a final recruitment opportunity.

Recruitment cut off point
