Shadow Cloaked Ring from act 2 was made for this build; adds an additional 1d4 to attacks against lightly/heavily obscured enemies, benefiting both from the assassin/shadow monk playstyle and the savage attacker feat.

Best part of this is you can make a shadow squad with the right builds. Did a dark urge with your ninja guidelines, Wyll with warlock devil sight, let Shadowheart become the justiciar which gave her dark sight too. Very nice dropping darkness and letting those three cause all kind of damage.

Have a safe and fun Spring Break. This could be a really fun multiplayer build. Astarion, Full-Sharran SHADOWheart, and Durge. 3 Ultimate Assassin's. Plus maybe a Darkness lock Wyll. Have each assassin player ready an attack against a target. Have Wyll ready Darkness--or an attack depending on need. Use coms to countdown and all use their pre-combat attacks at the same time and get the full benefit of Assassin's features. The Ultimate Assassin Clan.

I am going to start off by saying that I love the build idea as always. I tried an assassin build in honor run (ranged) and went 6 bard, 3 ranger-gloom, 3-assassin and was able to one shot of the bhaal knights outside of the tribunal. Quick gear advice: obviously Colby is correct with the graceful cloth but once you get to act 3 pick up the bhaalist armor for piercing vulnerability, the crater flesh gloves, and two dolor daggers from the bhaal trader. I understand not wanting to exploit bugs however, dolor daggers add their bonus to multiple damage instances on a crit (base damage, sneak attack, and the craterflesh gloves). So yah if you want big damage.

Colby.... That Outro..... the world doesn't deserve (and possibly doesn't want) that much honesty 😂

Playing team based single player games with solo characters is a time honored tradition. I know there are solo builds and challenges for the Mass Effect games and I distinctly remember people doing solo builds for Kotor, even way back when it came out. Kotor was actually one of the first games where I really got into min-maxing my main character and also the first that introduced me to a "video game-ized" version of DND mechanics.

Always love to hear some Phantom of the Opera in my day! Thanks!

When I was a teen, of course I had the big booming car stereo, but it was anyone's guess what was coming out of it. Rap, Rock, Metal, Jazz...Or that CD you speak of, and others of it's genre. Was pretty fun to see people's reactions when I'd pull up to a stoplight and have Car Orff, Prokofiev, or opera. You guys have great taste! Pretty good rendition of it also!

ah, peak colby content 🥰 perfect with my morning tea, you are cosy incarnate and the hyperfixation king!

Now that you're delving into the item aspect of the builds now, was wondering if there are any new ones in the works for the likes of Heat, Lightning charges, etc. I LOVED the combination of Reverberation plus Radiating Orb. Would love to see what you come up with, thanks again for the vid Colby! 😁🤙

Finally finished BG3 a week or two ago. Now this makes me want to play again, but I should finish my Tactican or Honor Mode run.

I was just looking at a new build type for Astarion, and this looks great. I have used things like the Gloomstalker build, a straight rogue build, a hunter mult build, and a sword bard/rogue build. Was starting to run out of ideas for him. I generally like to keep some element of each companions origin class, and I feel like I have played around with most of the common builds. So thank you for the content and have a lovely "Spring Break". Cheers!

You ever tried him as a Frosty bladesinger? Maybe with some necromancer vibes after he encounters the thayan book?

I think this is a really good build for Astarion and I think I will enjoy it a lot once I practice monk. I have never played monk in this or DND, but I think teleporting from shadow to shadow fits a vampire really well.

I think one of the best options for ranged is the jolt shooter and the sparkle boots or whatever its called that gives you lightning charges its awsome for a,build like this for mlving around and using either melee or rangrd

I built a similar character for a level 20 one shot that a buddy got to play as. I went Haregon, 8 Monk, 12 Rogue. We use maximized criticals, so you roll damage as normal but any dice rolled you also add the maximum they can roll so crits feel good. Using the Red Wizard Blade (Dagger with +3d12 Necrotic) and the max crit, a surprise round minimum damage, assuming both attacks hit is 144 damage (max was 238). With feats this guy is highly mobile, can shadowstep (Nightcrawler all the way), has a +16 initiative and Alert. It's a super fun idea, and I'm excited to test it out.

Oh Noes! He's singing Phantom... Well... adoration levels overloading!

This build looks like so much fun! I gotta try it. BTW I soloed Orin in honor mode with a ranged focused 7 Assassin/5 Gloom Stalker using greater invis/Without a Trace/adv stealth and Orin never even got an attack. Use the Titanstring bow + STR potions and it's ridiculously OP (dmg riders ftw).

I'm currently soloing Honour mode as an origin playthrough of Astarion, I just got to act 3. Im currently a 5 ranger (gloomstalker) 4 Rogue Assassin, and 1 Fighter. I think ill probably respec once i hit 12 to 6 Fighter, 3 gloomstalker, 3 assassin. I've been playing as an archer, and abusing the Titan string longbow and drinking strength potions. Astarions +1 happy bonus feels like it fits in with the build super well.

I am in the same boat as you; I wish I was more of a theater nerd than I am, was in a few plays as a young lad (Les Mis & Romeo and Juliet) at a pretty good sized theater; even landed one lead role but then I got wrapped up in being cool and not wanting to stand out more than I already did as a choir geek/dnd nerd so I stopped the theater stuff. I have a copy of The Phantom of the Opera on CD signed by Michael Crawford; it was not the first but one of the earlier CDs I purchased. I've seen many plays a few even on Broadway NYC its definitely a world I wish I would have stuck with and been more involved in.

That was my first Tav. I loved it. Cant overstate how awesome it is to get to go 3 turns (first outside combat, second is surprize, thirds cause of your super high initiative) pretty much always before... anybody else. And two rounds of guaranteed crits before anybody else moved. Its really a bummer savage attacker does not work with sneak attack :/

My build I've been using was a halfling gloomstalker ranger, assassin rogue and champion fighter, though i may add a goolock level at some point

For race, duegar would also work well! They get infinite out-of-combat invisibility at level 5

Just found a cool artificer idea. Their 11th level feature allows them to have their action, have their families use the spell storing item, drop it and have a tiny servant pick it up and then you use a bonus action to command a tiny servant to use the spell storing item again. Imagine 3 shatters, 3 scorching rays, 3 webs, a double enlarge reduce while you try to grapple, etc

Hey Colby! Great build! Loving the bg3 content! Juat wandering if you had considered doing a build around some of the effects that trigger on a miss.

You mentioned the occasional desirability of unarmed attacks vs. something vulnerable to bludgeoning damage.

Well themed exit song.

Just a warning on Friends cantrip. On my first solo Honour mode try I used the Friends cantrip on Kagha which then caused all the druids to attack me and ruin the play through. So I avoid that cantrip now when at higher difficulty.

Are you sure about that. I'm a completionalist and have never found it. Also, nothing in the wiki either?

Great build as always. Though sweeping attack is terrible as it splits the damage across the enemies. I'd actually take riposte probably for the turns where we don't finish someone off assuming fighter 3. I'd also strongly consider using the bloodthirst late cause vulnerable to piercing + crits suddenly stacks the die to obsurd levels. Joys of assassin's is theres a multitude of great builds that all pop off

I love that you're still doing bg3 videos this long after release and I will watch every new one you do. Also, I'm a recent convert to magic spoon that stuff is amazing.

I totally do the respecs the same way :D It wasn't a solo run, but for my first Honour mode play through i just completed last night I had Astarion ass rogue 1-4, respec gloomstalker ranger at 5, respec fighter 1 ranger 5 at lvl 6, another point into fighter at lvl 7, respec ass rogue 3 ranger 5 at lvl 8, at lvl 9 4 rogue 5 ranger for a feat, respec again at 10 for fighter 2 ranger 5 rogue 3. Lvl 11-12 into fighter for maneuvers and feat. 17 dex, 16 con, rest into wis and dump the rest. Feats were sharpshooter and (because i accidentally killed the hag 😢) I took resilient for the first time ever to get dex to 18, and give profiency in str, dex, con when you start as a fighter. It wasn't a solo run, but Astarion killed 75+% of the enemies before anyone else got a turn. I think only the Ketheric fight took more than 2 rounds the whole game.

I was suprised that you didn't recomend the Dark Urge character background for this build as they get some great story that can play well into going solo - especially if you decide to take the Dark Urge down the evil side of that sub-plot. Also some of the other features you get from this background also would help with solo play, and some of the magic items you get from this background would be a huge boon to an a solo assassin build.

Oh yes! Stunning Strike carried me through the Ketheric fight on top of the tower. Karniss was still alive in this playthrough, so I had to solo him, while the rest dealt with Ketheric.

I am thinking that a Duergar ranged version of this build might be a lot of fun...

I want to request/suggest another dive into Sorlock blaster in BG3 that factors in equipment! Equipment changes the core mechanics so drastically between effects like crit chance, radiating orb, and/or reverberation! I'd love to hear thoughts on builds who aren't able to get the Potent Robe-- especially since Sorlocks in BG3 benefit from levels in fighter and/or rogue! I really also want to see if a "Jackie Chan" character is possible relying on empty hands and improvised/thrown weapons, ideally dex based-- but that feels like a lot to ask. Maybe a combo of Monk/Barbarian it's a fun fantasy archetype but can it work in BG3?

Titan string is the best bow flat out if you're going the ranged option, with the abundance of strength pots its often +6 for free on all rolls. Also 19 crits never hurts

Dude I just want to tell you your charisma, voice, and on-screen presence is OUT FREAKING STANDING. A pleasure to listen to as always brother. Keep up the great work.

My current D&D character I have her planned out for Way of Shadow 6, Assassin 3, Echo Knight 11 to make the ultimate ninja. Will have Mobile, Devil's Sight via Eldritch Adept, and capped dex to do some real dumb stuff. Cast darkness on myself to always be able to teleport on a bonus action. Get the ultimate drop on enemies. Shadow clones I can swap places with and flank with for free advantage and therefore free sneak attack. She's gonna be so cool.

Alternate build Idea That I use for Astarion/ my tav all the time: Thief rogue 4, open hand Monk 5, Champion/ battlemaster fighter 3. Graceful cloth + gloves of dexterity gives you a 20 dex. Chug pots of hill/ cloud giant strength. 17 Dex 14 Con 14 Wis 12 int 10 str 8 char Tavern brawler, Savage attacker Short sword/ scimetar as monk weapon in main hand, and off hand. The knife of the undermountain works really well. Two bonus actions allow you to take a bonus action attack and Flurry of blows in the same turn. Boots of uninhibited Kushigo, callous glow ring and The Maelfic ring (I think that's what it's called) to deal 2 acid damage on each attack and two damage of the original source. Fighter is for action surge and it depends do you want a higher crit chance or battlemaster menuvers personally, the increased crit potential with savage attacker is nuts. The horns of the berserker headgear, Cloak of Protection also work insanely well. For fighting style go Two weapon fighting.

The venn diagram between theater nerd and dnd nerd is nearly a circle

i have my own take for this build i wanna suggest that i actually myself plan to use sometime soon being a shadowmonk, hexblade on a variant human using primarily a musket and than a shortsword that would be instead techincally actually strengthed arm wraps meant to protect your heands and woven with metal fiber. the thought here would basically be that your first feat is going straight into gunner and your first level will be into monk with alchemists tools, a proficency in athletics and arcobatics since i will be mostly dumping str and dex as well as scarily consittution someone as my tertiatiary with than you would put your points into primarily chr up to at least 17 so that at level 5 which would be 1 level monk, 4 levels hexblade, your first feat you'll take being shadow touched: chr can bring that up to snuff while than also taking your choice of either inlfict wounds for a complete 'FUCK OFF' type spell especially since you will be casting it with warlock spell slots meaning it will ALWAYS be mega upcast if and when you use it OR false life so that way you can make yourself either tankier or give yourself a mock form of healing if you take a big hit that will last and with a further method to heal yourself being vampiric touch which again, would be super upcast if ya use it. i will now also mention the other reason getting that many levels into warlock first is so important being that you will want to get armor of shadows and at first at least, fiendish vigor which you will later replace with improved pact weapon so you can make and summon ranged weapons which i feel like you can talk a dm into letting you make your musket your pact weapon which is why you hard focus your chr stat so that it and all of your warlock spells like inflict wound and vampic touch do SEROIUS damage meaning you can either sneak up on someone with your proficences mind you being stealth, acrobatics, and athletics to help you get that sneak attack advantage to than either fucking BLAST THEIR ASS with fucking inflict wounds upcast to the 3rd fucking level at level 5 for fucking 5d10 necrotic OR you snipe em at a distance with a rifle that is boosted by your chr stat which would be a plus 4 AND at level 6 gets boosted again by another 4 necrotic on top of also being a magic weapon for another plus 1..... from there you go into monk i would say probably till level 6 to get shadow step to help with your invisibilty from shadow touched and i would say also shroud of shadow at level 5 warlock being a strong contender instead of going for lifedrinker depending on how mean your dm is being with enemies health totals letting you from level 6 have invisibility and than at level 13, you start teleporting around with a rifle in hand that blows holes so large through peoples skulls that it could drop a fucking hill giant in just a few shots before than going back hard into hexblade warlock to level 20 to also boost the accursed shadows you would be creating constantly as you drop people like there was no tomorrow to also draw aggro and again, do some good damage with your high chr which if you want, you could even start your chr higher at 19 since again, i already would have the minimum str, AT MOST 16 dex for intiative and melee, and than probably either 10 or AT MOST 12 con to make room for that higher dex and chr.

Guessing I'd want to start human for a single feat, and either starting rogue or cleric but after that I get analysis paralysis.

It’s literally not. It has a 7.8 on IMDb. It was critically acclaimed and considered by many to be the best of the Disney SW films. Along with Andor being considered the best Disney SW series. It maybe wasn’t the largest box office numbers, because it didn’t have the name recognition draw, but it certainly isn’t, “underrated.”

Drow get Darkness for free at lvl 5 (at least one usage of it). So using it this way could save some Ki points. Or maybe i just like drow in this game and you should too xD Text below got nothing to do with the content of this video (great video, btw, as always), I'm just going once again plug a weird build idea, that only Colby could complete for good old D&D: Triple build based of Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades and Alucard for the Castlevania show. Challenge is (except for the fact, that it'd be first triplet on the channel) is to make it work as the synergetic team (like all duo builds do her), not just three characters being in the same party. Yes, i'm making THE castle fight a point of reference here xD Do you actually have to make it? Not really. Would it be (at least as a thought experiment) amazing? Hell yeah. Or just go and (re)watch the show after reading this message, cause it's actually that good.

I know you dont typically recommend weapons but let me at least inform you that you can b-line your way to the arcane tower and collect the club of hill giant strength right after you get done with the fight at the emerald grove and make your melee attacks +4, carry weight much higher and increase your jumps alot, using that club as an offhand weapon. If you stop and get shovel ( without fighting the skeletons) , and it would make the gas traps easier to circumvent by the spectator by the selunite outpost.

Hey, in BG3 the stunning strike save DC is based off strength or dexterity, whichever is higher.

Try out assassin/battlemaster using the bhaalist armor, GWM and a piercing 2hander like breaching pike or Nyrulna. You can even add in 3 lvls or gloomstalker for hunter's mark and dread ambusher atk. I was hitting for over 100 per atk, with the right gear and max rolls it's capable of almost 200 dmg in a single hit.

The outtakes are some of the best parts of any video 😂 Theater nerds just do D&D best!* 💅 *citation needed

Loved the outtake song. Did you know there’s a mod that adds the Phantom’s mask to the game and replaces one of the bard songs with Music of the Night? Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a big overlap between dnd nerds and theatre nerds. Makes sense when you think about it.
