    3 Thief / 9 Fighter is probably the best martial combat utility build in the game. Aside from the obvious boosts in high dex dual-wield fighting style, he effectively gets four attacks in one turn because of extra attack and off-hand bonus attacks. But the biggest effect is that Sneak Attack will AUTO-STACK on any Advantaged attack, which includes Battle Manuevers. So with a single Sneak->Maneuever, you get bonus damage from the manuever, from Sneak Attack, advantage to land, an extra status, snd STILL another two attacks, or a dash/sneak/disengage/misty step. Once you recieve the gloves that give enemies disadvantage to save against Manuevers, and the Martial Adept feat for more dice, you can harass bosses to death extremely easily because almost no boss is immune to prone, frighten, AND disarm, all of which can be applied for huge damage half the room away. Astarion hard carried a lot of risky fights in Act 3 because he can disarm half the room in a single turn and then STILL prone the boss. During the first phase of Raphaels fight when you have to kill 6 Cambions, he and Throwzerker Karlach basucally solo'd their sides of the room.

    How Wizard spells work in tabletop had to have the text updated from the v1 rulebook to be a bit clearer, because originally the text was something along the lines of "you can scribe any spell of a level that you could prepare", and the rule spot that stated what spells you could prepare was "a spell of any level for which you have spell slots" The clarifying text makes it pretty clear that's not how it was intended to work, but we definitely let it fly in tabletop for the first few runs, sorta like how they eventually tried to write out the Sorcerer/Warlock point-banking silliness.

    About the druid-monk multiclass. Wildshapes usually have higher base AC than humanoinds and they only benefit from monk's unarmored defense, if the wildshape's base AC is lower than 10 +wisdom mod (the same as using mage armor). An owlbear for example have 14 base AC so they need at least 20 wisdom to gain 1 AC. Still not bad, but not a huge impact either. On the other hand cats, badgers and other lower level wildshapes can benefit way more from unarmored defense. I don't know if it was changed lately but I don't think so.

    I think Wizard / Warlock should go up a tier or two EXCLUSIVELY because the interaction between Armor of Agathys and Abjuration Wizard. Without ever taking damage from wards, you’re able to use your enemies reactions to deal massive cold damage back to them. You can even use water beforehand and on the same turn walk past such enemies, dealing 60 damage to multiple enemies, and probably even absorbing other actions as well

    Super surprised you didn’t explain some subclasses don’t really rely on their modifier for their features like paladins meaning you can make a powerful 2/5 level dip for certain classes that are full casters and get all/ almost all spell slot progression meaning Spores Druid with Paladin is extremely viable and deserves room on the tier list. I feel like warlock levels are hard for me to take because of the loss of utility and spell slot progression knocking a lot of those multi classes down a few pegs and really relying on getting free cantrips like Eldritch blast and some invocations. Glad you spoke on just how versatile that cleric is for many many builds

    Someone who is good at charisma/dialogue and spell casting and has some melee. Go for a multi class between Sword bard and warlock. With pact of the blade from warlock and extra attack from swords bard. You get access to 3 melee attacks. Go 6 and 6 with both. Both bard and warlock spell casting scales off charisma. Also pact of the blade makes your melee attacks scale off of charisma.

    If you can get to lvl 13, monk/cleric becomes SO much better. 5 levels monk + 8 cleric with magic initiate druid makes an incredible utility class but you're just a single level shy of it coming online n bg3. Oh well. Also a correction, the wizard learning spells does work at DND tables RAW for prepared casters. So Paladin, Cleric, and Druid with a 1 level wizard dip have that same benefit on table.

  • @CreativeExcusesGaming
    @CreativeExcusesGaming4 ай бұрын

    1 level monk dip for a paladin is a fantastic rp idea, and is very solid. You get a nice baby offhand kick, but more importantly, you can dump strength for dex and still use great weapon master to deal great damage with quarterstaves or the orphic hammer or nyrulna or a spear of night in the late game. This solves paladin’s initiative issues and can even solve their entire MADness combined with the gloves of dexterity. Its a one level dip that can accomplish something very similar to a warlock dip, and still lets you grab enough sorc or bard levels for big smites and/or flourishes. The one level monk dip for monk weapons alone in bg3 is insanely strong for any melee class because dexterity is such a wildly strong stat.

    Everyone always unfairly pigeonholes Cleric into "must be party healer and nothing else", when Cleric is arguably the _most_ diverse class thanks to the subclasses. In BG3, you've got Life for healing sure, but also Light and Tempest as heavy damage casters, and War for heavy melee damage front line. One of my favorite builds by far is Tempest Cleric 2 Storm Sorcerer 10. Tempest Cleric 2 gives you Heavy Armor proficiency, so with some Heavy armor and a shield and the right accessories, I've gotten my _full caster_ up to 25 AC without any spells active. Plus, I take the second level of Cleric (at the cost of the level 6 spell and spell slot from Sorc 11) for the Channel Divinity, which lets you force a maxed out damage roll on thunder or lightning damage. And guess what two damage types Storm Sorcerer focuses on? Plus I can use the Cleric levels to learn Create Water, which can turn lightning resists/neutrals into weaknesses, and can be Quickened by Sorc so I can wet everything in an area then blast them with a fully upcast, max damage roll Lightning Bolt, in the same turn. And I grab Healing Word, because it's always useful being able to pick up a downed party member at range for just a bonus action.

    Fighter/warlock is S+++. You can go champion with crit fishing gear and GoO lock for insane ampunts of fear. Paired with reverb gear, and you're laughing. With battlemaster, you can add a few maneuvers, i took disarm, trip, and riposte. Both options let you be quite SAD with CHA to attacks, and in tactician or lower, you get three attacks per turn. With high AC, you will dodge/block very often, which will let you use riposte for potentially 4 attacks per turn (3 on honor mode). It also gives you an extremely solid ranged option with EB, lets you be the party face as well, and grants devils sight for darkness/fog cloud abuse. 6/6 gives you 3 feats and access to level 3 spells. 8/4 is a bit more enticing for HM for another feat but loss of one invocation and level 3 spells. Both are good, but IMO 6/6 is strongest even on HM without the triple attack that never should have been available in the first place. It is still by far the most fun build I played and in the top 3 for overall power and utility. Its also very good with 10 rogue/2 lock. With just 12 in charisma you can take beguiling influence and devils sight which gives you two profs in CHA skills, rogue will let you take some expertise in at least 1 of them and you get wicked social checks and devils sight which makes stealing in HM less risky since you have a much better chance to talk your way out of it. The possible multiclass combos are insane

I'am trying to get attack roll spells into Shadowheart, though I learned them from scrolls while having the previous level as a wizard. They are all INT based, even tried respecting her and learn a few more spells from scrolls with a previous level on cleric to see if they would be Wisdom based but no avail, still Intellect. Are they simply all Int based? Or can you change it to wisdom somehow?

    One error, carried over from the last video: Rogue/Wizard is rated S tier, but Wizard/Rogue is A tier. I think it is meant to be S tier as discussed specifically in the Rogue segment. 27/66 multiclasses are S tier. That's a lot of S tier. Here's a quick categorization: Fighter + every class except Paladin & Sorcerer (9). Rogue + Ranger, Monk, Bard, Barb, Wizard (5) Wizard/Cleric + other True Full Casters (Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Cleric/Wizard) (7). Sorcerer + Druid (1). Paladin/Warlock + Charisma Classes (Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock/Paladin) (5) Interesting that Sorcerer + Bard is the only non-S tier charisma class pairing and the only non-S tier full caster pairing besides bard + druid. Also interesting to note. A few of the classes have very similar tier lists: Cleric + Wizard have very similar tier lists, with classes in basically the same order (Rogue is higher on Wizard's tier list and Wizard's lower tiers are rated lower, but in the same order). Monk, Ranger, and Monk all have the same S tier (fighter + rogue).

    A 5e player can truly see the link between 5e and BG3 in those multi builds. Just one example: in 5e too a Cleric or Fighter level is among the best stuff you can give to a Wizard.

    Barbarian 5 (any subclass honestly) Warlock 7 (pact of the blade) though. Benefits: Con save prof 3 attacks (pact of the blade + extra Attack, yes it works) charisma based rage damage (tested it yesterday) Armor of Agathys + Fire shield: cold + half damage from rage + reckless attack + any other damage reduction from medium armor/gear Take non-concentration and out of combat utility spells

    Sadly Pact of the Blade + Extra attack only gives the 3rd attack on tactician difficulty and below - on honour mode, you'll only get two attacks. You're right that it's a much more interesting multiclass on lower difficulties though!

    So wouldn't taking cleric dip later in a build switch your main casting stat to wisdom? For instance, an 8 level sorc taking a cleric dip at 9 would be effectively neutering your sorc, right?

    There are a lot of cleric spells that don’t rely on casting stats to be effective. Wisdom investment for casting those 1st level cleric spells is unnecessary. BG3 multiclassing doesn’t require minimum stat investment. Don’t need wisdom at all to use the many great benefits if a 1 level cleric dip.

    You didn't talk at all either in the Monk section or the Cleric section about Monk/Cleric combinations. I notice you threw it in niche in the cleric section but don't look like you have considered it at all.. Doing an honour mode run with Monk light/Cleric and while I would not say it is the strongest combination it is pretty fun with spirit guardians, the synergy with the ability to do radiant damage on monk attacks and Wisdom is a shared attribute, so doesn't make the MAD madder. The extreme mobility Monks can get paired with Spirit Guardians is arguably as strong as thief fast hands. At least it is a different option to doing the same cookie cutter tavern brawler Thief builds.

    I know i’m late but question. Can you smite during rage? I am a 5e player and in fact you can smite while raging there, question is, can you smite in BG3, because if yes, than there is this absurd combo of 5 barb, 5 pal, and 2 fighter. You basically can smite 6 times in a turn, have your frenzy attack, are basically unkillable due to second wind, and lay on hands

    You can! It's pretty powerful (see my build "the zealot of zariel" for a bg3 version of the character). One thing though is that I think if you're getting 6 smites there you're counting Extra Attack from both Barbarian and Paladin - extra attack from multiple sources doesn't stack, so you may be giving yourself a few too many smites :D

I will test tho, since if it does work as in 5e, single attack, + barb extra attack, + pal extra attack + extra action from fighter should be 6. Pop in haste or elixyr of speed

    @@Ireniicus My main character is a mono moon druid, (mostly using summons and wildshape with tavern brawler) I have Karlach as a barbarian 5, fighter 4, thief 3 , based on throwing weapons or ennemies with the tavern brawler feat. I made shadowheart a gloomstalker 5 , battle master 4, thief 3 , using a crossbow in each hand, with the sharpshooter feat Gayle is a wizard 8, sorcerer 4 with high int but low charisma. Giving 4 levels of fighter and 3 of thief to karlach and shadowheart gives them action surge and a feat from fighter, and a bonus action from thief. it aldo gives superiority dices and sneak attack to shadowheart but it doesn't work on thrown weapons. For both, I think it's more valuable than what they get from their main class. Gayle gets metamagic from 4 levels of sorcerer (and still gets a feat) I can still learn high level spells from scrolls. (I needed level 8 to learn counterspell as a wizard so it's based on int and there is no scroll for it) As I have low charisma, I learnt spell that don't require an attack roll or saving throw with my sorcerer levels, like mage hand, mage armor, longstride ... The only thing I lose compared to a full wizard is the number of spells prepared as a wizard is a bit lower, so I have to choose a bit more carefully. but the metamagic more than makes up for it.

    12 күн бұрын

    5e classes are really frontloaded so multiclassing can make your playthrough much easier especially if you are on a higher difficultly. BG3 Multiclassing is really easy. Basically you should avoid going to 5th level on two classes that extra attack as they do not stack, if you are playing a bow/crossbow build it is beneficial to have enough levels to get the archery fighting style. If you are in a build that uses their bonus action for attacks you should go 3 levels into Rogue for the thief subclass, if your character's main stat is charisma two level in warlock is good because Eldritch blast scales with character level and not warlock level and because of the two Eldritch blast invocations at level 2, if you start as a full caster you should probably not dip more than a level into a different full caster so that you can get to level 6 spells except for storm Sorcerer and tempest cleric where I recommend a 10/2 split, and to avoid multiclassing two classes that have overlapping abilities like Ranger and druid as you get the worst of both worlds

    War cleric doesn't play super well with monk generally, because they can already make a bonus action attack every turn, so they don't need the bonus action attacks from war cleric.
