So been thinking of what to play for my first run through of Baldurs Gate 3 when released. I will be streaming it, so looking for something entertaining, I I think I have come up with something that sings… :)
Half-Elf Drow rogue ( to get the drow hate, or maybe dragonborn… not decided fully) for the first 2 levels then switching to Bard. Or maybe Bard then switch to Rogue… not sure yet. Only 2 levels or Rogue in total. Of course there is no other choice but going with Dark Urge!!!
What is your first Character going to be, have you decided yet?
Well Sorcerer can spend Sorcery points on Twin or Quicken to cast Booming Blade. If in range of two creatures, you can twin Booming Blade to hit both, then use War Magic to make an attack as a Bonus Action. If in range if just one, Quicken to cast as a Bonus Action, followed by multiple attacks from EK as an action.
Sorcerer also opens the Divine Soul bloodline, which adds some versatility to your spell list and lets you back-up heal. Furthermore, in pen-and-paper, Divine Soul lets you grab Thaumaturgy as a cantrip, which can be used to dim lights for 1 minute without concentration, which is enough to trigger advantage from Shadow Blade, and in turn Elven Accuracy, which is neat.
Question answered, thank you!
Though unless I’m mistaken we have no Divine Soul Sorcerer in BG3 (just Draconic/Wild/Storm), so you might have to wait up for mods
We don’t even have Shadow Blade or Booming Blade it seems, so yeah, mods will be required, sadly. But glad they are out there.
I forgot to mention using Action Surge with those tricks, of course, which should lead to some high nova numbers.
