    So far I've been playing a Defender pally, with that shield ability to use a bonus action to help defend a nearby ally. My party is mostly all melee, so it's great for keep everyone up, especially when combined with my auras. So far I'm only lvl 4 (3 pally/1sorc for extra smites), but I've picked up a few armor pieces that help make him more offensive (some gloves that give him advantage on melee attacks if he's got 2+ enemies in melee range. My armor/shield aren't anything really spectacular, but my AC is about 17 right now, and I've noticed that I seem to avoid hits pretty consistently at this point in the story. Looking forward to getting some more pally-centric armor/boots/shield, but so far it's pretty nice.

One of them is called something like Divine Strike: Criticals. You can tell it to automatically divine smite whenever you crit. Or what I prefer, is you can also tell it to prompt you every time you crit and ask if you want to apply divine smite. So when you land a critical hit, a little pop up will come up asking if you want to use divine smite on the attack. Here is a quick video explaining: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaeuz7Z-eMywnNY.html

    For people that want to multiclass, it is equally important to realise that you get a feat every 4 CLASS levels, not CHARACTER levels. So multiclassing after lvl 6 Paladin to get 6 levels of something else will net you only 2 feats at lvl 12 instead of the 3 feats you can get. With that in mind, it's useful to consider multiclassing in steps of 4 levels on top of checking what class abilities you'd like to get from certain classes.

    If you multiclass Paladin and Sorcerer, I recommend taking Gold Dwarf for your race and Draconic as your Sorcerer Subclass for the extra Hit Points per level. +2 HP per level really helps offset the downgrade to a Sorcerer's Hit Die, and you can double that to +4 per level by taking the 'Tough' Feat.

    Warlock 3 or 5 and rest Paladin is absurd. Pact of Blade so you can just go full CHA/CON. You also get an extra attack from hitting level 5 in both classes(so 2 extra attacks!), but just going just 3 Warlock nets you a lot of utility, with two level 2 warlock spell slots, 2 Eldritch invocations(buff eldritch blast with CHA modifier, superior darkvision, etc), and Pact of the Blade. Starting Paladin is better for heavy armor proficiency tho.

    Paladin 7 + Warlock 5 gives you two extra attacks. Currently the extra attack from Warlock(Pact of Blade) stacks with other classes extra attack as it isn't considered a feature in BG3 allowing you to get 3 attacks from a weapon attack. This may be a bug though. Edit: You can get con proficiency from a hired 6th level Wizard(Transmutation). The wizard can create a Transmuter's stone. There are various effects that it can give, namely increase movement or proficiency in Con are both good choices. You do not need to keep the hired wizard in your party, just have him create the stone and put it into your inventory then remove him from your party. This can help free up a feat slot since you wouldn't need war caster/Resilient feat for concentration spells. Though you will have to create it again after each long rest.

The Extra attack feature states that "If you gain the Extra Attack feature from more than one class, they don't add together.". The pact of the blade however does not technically give you the extra attack feature specifically as it is built into Pact of the Blade instead. By RAW it appears to be working but by RAI I believe it shouldn't.

    I can highly recomend warlock paladin muticlass lets you ignore the STR stat with packt of the blade. I recomend gonig with only one class until lvl 5 then respec at level 6 into 1 level of pala (Heavy armor proficencie) and 6 levels warloc and then tacking pala levels as you go. You can even cocider tacking some sorc levels after level 9.

    I feel warlocks should have class based consequences like paladins do. Wyll literally is punished for breaking his pact

  • @Mish_Age
    @Mish_Age11 ай бұрын

    Respecialized Wyll to start with vengeance paladin, got 2nd lvl, then got him 5 lvls of warlock, pact of the blade, second attack, demonic vision. It felt not so good to wait so much to unlock an extra attack, even though he still was good, but now, omg, what a machine. He surely is now the Blade of Frontiers. Planning to got him 3rd lvl of paladin to get that Vow of Enmity and after all of that go for 4 lvls of Bard College of Swords to gain a lot extra spellslots, bardic inspiration, useful spells, duelist fighting style and even an ability to deal extra damage with this bardic inspiration, though it will be deep in late game. Just wanted to share this awesome triple multiclass I came up with.

    One thing that has worked for me in D&D and similar games for off-tanks, but also even main tanks to a degree, is to focus on armor class over constitution. If the enemy can’t hit the tank, it’s pretty hard to kill the tank. A dexterous fighter/Paladin can have a really high ac, and they become really tough to hit when combined with heavy armor, allowing you to take a couple points out of con, which is nice because now your paladins and fighters get a little extra help from the dex saving throws.

    2 Level in Paladin is great for any Meleeclass, Divine Smite is killer and the AoE heal is big bonusaction and always turns the tide for my frontline. If you get Bonus Attack from a different Martial Artist class I recommend 8 MA + 4 Paladin, other than that just 8 Level in Paladin seems to be the sweet spot if you mainly want a Paladin, Bonus Attack, 2 Feats, Aura. Right now my Paladin is Lv.4 and I am unsure what he will become when Lv.9.

    10:12 you mention you can dump dex but just remember that means you have - on initiative rolls. To combat this so far I've been using the dexterity gloves found at the creche, which give me 18 dex despite having no points into the stat. This has allowed me to roll high initiative most of the time and still have a load of strength/everything else

  • @keystonelyte

    Any weapon thay says "finesse" is good for DEX or STR melee builds, it just uses your best modifier between the two for attack and damage rolls. Rapiers, daggers, short swords, scimitars, whips, and darts fall in this category in D&D, meaning that if you have weapon proficiency with any of these and higher DEX than STR, you can make them work for either stat. Rapiers and short swords are actually quite good, even when they're not magic or +1, +2, etc, and they remain releveant throughout an entire playthrough as long as you get your damage stat up to 20, which everyone can do by level 8 (Fighters can do this at level 6).

    I like paladin 9/warlock 3 multiclass option so you can dump not only Dexterity, but also Strength since BG3 unlike DnD 5e doesn't have Strength requirement for heavy armor. You get all the juice of the paladin except aura of immunity to frightened condition and you also can use your Charisma for attacks, have a decent ranged option and as well as 2 lvl 2 spell slots for your smites which recharge every short rest. The only thing you sacrifice is 1 feat option which is almost nothing comparing to what you get in return

    Sentinel is also on par with Savage attacker, since you are always near enemy and for sure you have another melee companion up there as well. Whether you are lock on an enemy melee or range they cant escape you and if the Ai attack you near companion you get a free attack.

    Go warlock level 3 with full charisma no strength. Take pact of blade, then pali untill max level. Your pact of blade makes ur charisma modifier your weapon dmg so you keep weapon dmg. You get powerfull level 2 spells for warlock (warlock kinda useless after that tho). Takes a while to ramp up but you can also take a crit skill that fears so you can get tadpole ability and armor to build a crit style paladin with powerfull area spells and smites that applies debufs. All at the same time as being able to help with saving throws on your casters while being ambushed. Not to mention sacking strength means you can put it in dex and const which makes you tanky with initiative and keeps your dmg. From testing take pali first level to get heavy armor prof, you have literally everything.

    I think your just min maxing too much. The feats don't feel very strong except for point enhancement. You can just take another level of warlock if you really want a end game feat. You should focus on important level spells while leveling through the game. The only real downside is waiting on pal extra attack but you get warlock double eld blast so its not so bad. Alternatively you can wait to level five pali to take warlock. But ive found warlock to be better early game (higher spike aginst lower level enemies). You can also just go level three warlock and respec at level five to 5 paladin. Meaning you use early game warlock spike and then level 5 paladin spike. All around op character @@middleagedgamers7750
