I’m running a Hald-orc, so it seems hexadin would fit better. But I’m also wondering if barlock would be better for CC, since I have none.

Thinking sword bard and hexblade fit CC? And I’m not sure it matter the subclass if I go the Paladin route.

Lae'zel helped so much through honor mode as an Eldritch Knight. Her racial spells have synergy with the subclass and fighting style. Thought I would share the details for those interested. I will list the most important spells and cantrips; the others are whatever you want.

Starting stats:

STR 16 ∘ DEX 14 ∘ CON 14 ∘ INT 13 ∘ WIS 10 ∘ CHA 8

Level 1:

• Class: Fighter
• Fighting Style: Great Weapon Fighting
• Cantrip: Booming Blade (most important part of the build), Shocking Grasp (or any elemental cantrip to work with Ring of Elemental Infusion)
• Spells: Burning Hands, Shield (very useful in Act 1 when you're short on equipment and at low levels), Expeditious Retreat

Level 3:

• Subclass: Eldritch Knight

Level 4:

• Feat: Ability Improvement -> STR +1 ∘ INT +1

Level 6:

• Feat: Heavy Armor Master (this also increases her strength to 18)

Level 7:

• Whatever spells you prefer, I prefer Gust of Wind to knock close enemies back in case I want to make a ranged attack

Level 8:

• Spell: Enlarge/Reduce
• Feat: Ability Improvement -> INT +2
• By now her stats should all be even

Level 10-11:

• Whatever cantrip and spell you prefer

Level 12:

• Feat: Savage Attacker

Gear

Act 1

• Headwear: Haste Helm, Circlet of Psionic Revenge
• Armor: Githyanki Half-Plate, Chain Mail +1
• Gloves: Gloves of Belligerent Skies (these are great with the Booming Blade cantrip)
• Shoes: Boots of Speed or whatever you prefer
• Amulet: Amulet of Branding, Silver Pendant
• Rings: Caustic Band, Ring of Elemental Infusion, Strange Conduit Ring (goes well with Expeditious Retreat)
• Weapon: Soulbreaker Greatsword (make sure that you use a two-handed weapon until you get this to match her fighting style)

Act 2

• Headwear: Helmet of Arcane Acuity
• Armor: Dwarven Splintmail (use a transmogrification mod if you don't like its appearance)
• Gloves: Gloves of Belligerent Skies
• Shoes: Boots of Speed or whatever you prefer
• Amulet: Surgeon's Subjugation Amulet
• Rings: Ring of Spiteful Thunder (goes well with Booming Blade), Strange Conduit Ring
• Weapon: Soulbreaker Greatsword or Halberd of Vigilance

Act 3

• Headwear: Helm of Balduran
• Armor: Armor of Persistence
• Gloves: Legacy of the Masters
• Shoes: Boots of Psionic Movement
• Amulet: Whatever you prefer
• Rings: Ring of Spiteful Thunder, Strange Conduit Ring
• Weapon: Balduran's Giantslayer, Silver Sword of the Astral Plane

Tips

• Stock up on Darkvision scrolls because Lae'zel doesn't have darkvision
• Stock up on strength elixirs if you want to sacrifice her strength stat for others
• Equip the Vital Conduit Boots and Silver Pendant, cast guidance, and remove them for your preferred gear to get 8 temporary hitpoints
• Stand in an obscured area, equip the Shadeclinger Armor, and remove them for your preferred gear to get a bonus in shadowy areas
• Casting Expeditious Retreat pairs well with gear that gives bonuses for concentration spells since it lasts until long rest

I saw that theres like 0 guides for spanish people, both honour mode guides and build guides are mostly in english... So i wanted to make a yt channel to make a "How to beat honour mode easily" kind of series and i wanted to make a strong team that wouldnt have a problem beating the game. I was thinking about...

Bardadin (10 Swords bard/2paladin vengeance)

Firesorc(11draconic sorc /1 fiend warlock)

Death cleric (8death cleric/2 necro wizard/ 2 Sorc

Some kind of rogue multiclass with ranger like

(7 horde breaker ranger /3 thief/ 2 fighter)

Is it good enought or do yall miss something?

Now that The Odyssey is in theaters and as someone who has read both the Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Song of Achilles I am thinking of running a roleplay game featuring Achilles and Patroclus.

Any build ideas? A safe choice for Achilles might be at least 11 levels of Fighter / 1 level of Cleric, and maybe a Cleric build for Patroclus. I’m planning to play my Tav as Achilles and have Gale as Patroclus. Even though their personalities are quite different, I don't really know who else could fit the role while still allowing for a romance option.

For the setup, I'm thinking medium armor + shield, taking the Sharpshooter feat, and using a spear as the main weapon.

So im gonna run chaos divine soul (its great) but in deciding in my second class, frozen wild paladin, conquest, vengeance, maybe even the night bringer mod, any suggestions? (Aldo running it to level 20, and need kinda gear and spell list)

So we've started a playthrough with some friends of mine and one of them's really dissapointed with how weak her wizard is right now. Like it's only lvl 3 and she's using necromancy with a kinda default build, but like she is like REALLY weak. In *any* possible fight it is a real challenge for her to do literally anything, basically, cause.. she's either dead or silenced (upd: charmed. I'm a fcking idiot. It was just a really long encounter for us withg the harpies, apparently because we weren't... lucky enough, so I just made an example out of it, sorry for misinforming :D). Most of the time it's really that bad and I just can't see how upset she is about her choice (she really likes wizards in general but this thing... yeah, it really gets her).

So.. what could be done? Just any words of advice, I'd really appreciate it!

Hi BG3 Community,

I had respec shadowheart to become a Druid/Cleric,
I checked off Perception + Survival in the skill proficiencies

But noticed, when I multiclassed to a light domain cleric at level 3, it.. the "stars" goes to animal handling/medicine?

Won't let me pick Perception and Survival again

Is this a glitch?

TIA

It's my first run and I'm trying to make an archer focused on ranged attacks with bows, who wears light armor and can do SOME melee damage with a knife/dual knives. Think something like Legolas from LOTR. Currently I'm level 7 and in Grymforge so no spoilers please.

So far I'm a 20 dex, 8 str Battle Master Fighter and at this level or the next it feels like if I'm gonna multiclass at all, this is the time to do it. Currently I think my character's lacking proficiency in stuff like sleight of hand and some dialogue stuff like persuasion, so I'm looking at going into rogue, potentially for thief or swashbuckler, though I'm not really interested in doing stealth in combat.

I've seen people recommending me swords bard for this and I feel like that wouldn't fit my character so I'm looking for other options, which I guess includes just staying battle master till 12.

I am a recent Shillelagh convert, and using it on my spore druid. Just got to level 4 in the goblin camp, and wondering how long until I should switch to a different weapon? I like the druid being able to get up in melee a bit but wild shape and other weapons are obviously powerful.

When I look up info online, I often just see 'first few levels' or 'early game' - what are some of the weapons I should be looking for to replace torch + Shillelagh?

Hello,

I have a multiplayer game coming up, and I would like to play as a self-aggrandizing jerk of a wizard who is willing to do almost anything for power, and I would like to sacrifice my wizard's body to do it. I happen to know that there are several ways to maim your character for bonuses, mostly the brand of the absolute, Volo's eye, and the astral tadpole.

What are some other ways I can butcher myself for power boosts? Is there anything obvious or thematic that I'm missing? If I could lose a leg for an extra spell slot that would be great.

I've solo'd the game with all the martial classes now. The closest I've come to using a caster is a bardadin and a sorcadin, but they don't really count as I'm just using the slots for my smites.

I want to run a full caster, but each time I try, I end up dead, and normally before leaving Act I. I struggle with the low AC and lack of crit protection of full casters, which means one lucky shot from an enemy is enough to end the run there and then.

Any advice on a build, and special tactics I should use,
