CHAIN CONTINGENCY: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2

Chain Contingency BG2

Chain Contingency is a BG2 Best Spell in BioWare's cRPG of 2000, Baldur's Gate 2.

Loading up Chain Contingency with ADHW x3 results in a nuke that is second only to Improved Alacrity ADHW x4.

Chain Contingency is a god-tier spell.

Debuff with Pierce Shield, reload the chain a few times and you might even drop The Ravager BG2 with your BG2 Sorcerer -- single-handedly.

Wild Mage BG2 can also stack Improved Chaos Shield into Chain Contingency.

Basically, the mage chooses three spells, which will be released under certain conditions such as being hit by an enemy. When this condition occurs all three spells are cast immediately. Spells of 8th level or lower may be used in the contingency.
