An interesting "feature" of Tavern Brawler: If you cast spike growth then wild shape, your spike growth will get tavern brawler damage bonus. Normally doing 2d4 (4 average) per 5ft,/1.5m, and now doing 9 average per tick with strength potion. Two ticks of damage, and you are at Flame Wall of damage, yet for a much larger area.
Moon Druid is great... you spend 30 minutes creating your character, you're really looking forward to the run... everything sounds perfect... then you notice that you're constantly missing dialogues because you're in animal form. You miss soooo many conversations between companions and NPCs because the dialogue isn't triggered after a battle because you're in animal form. Transforming back after every fight isn't an option either...
There are a few instancea where you get reverted out of wild shape. Sometimes, the dialogue occurs, but it takes place with another member of your party (still not ideal). I've also been lucky to find that if the npc needs to walk to you to start the dialogue, then (with some fast fingers) you can get out of wild shape.
I played a Forest Gnome druid. It was funny watching the smallest member of the group transforming into a Polar Bear and mauling the toughest enemies to bloody ribbons.
I love the lil guy to big guy concept. I played a Kobold who was tired of serving dragons and being treated like shit. So I made a deal with giants to learn their magic (Rune knight fighter) so I could "become a real dragon" and fight back. I also tapped into my internal draconic power (Draconic sorcerer). I loved going from a small lil guy with chihuahua energy to a huge behemoth..... with chihuahua energy.
If this is your main character I suggest using dex gloves so you can get 16 in wisdom and charisma also if you are using all your spells lots don’t waste them use good berry and you will be able to use them for long rests
I like Duergar for the innate enlarge which works on wild form. I also like to dual wield torches as Shillelagh works on them making for a great early game damage source. Otherwise I dig the build :)
Druid is a great class in Tabletop AND in this game. They're the ultimate Toolbox class. You can do a little bit of everything and you always have something useful to contribute to the fight. Absolutely awesome class!

Personally i prefer to just have my support class at camp with warding bond cast on my druid to get most of the resistance buffs on them instead. Plus unless they fixed it since i last played the shield trick still works where if u have no weapon or armor equiped on a druid then equip a shield the ac from the shield carrys over
Better just go full druid, not worth to sacrifice a 3rd wildshape attack, myrmidons and 5th/6th level spells for some defence. Especially when you cant rage and wildshape at the first turn cause they both use bonus action
Hey Spud, I would love to see a red dragon “champion of Tiamat” flame/heat-based paladin build. I think it would be awesome to see a humongous fire smite !
Which pieces of equipment actually apply while in wild shape? I see something about this on the BG3 wiki. I keep hoping to find something else. Which items do you find are really useful on your wild shaped druid? * Armor of moonbasking * corvid token * boots of striding * shapeshifter's boon ring * true love's caress/embrace is there ANYTHING else?
@@TheSpudKing I just discovered a new build that makes acid splash the most powerful cantrip in the game. As far as I know … no one is using it or talking about it. Let me know if you want it. I hit 100 damage from a single cast of a cantrip in act 2. No bugs. No cheating. No mods. No abuse.
Tavern brawler is not a thing anymore. Dont work in druid forms. «As of Hotfix 21, the bonus Strength modifier damage to unarmed strikes does not apply to unarmed strikes while Wild Shaped in Honour Mode.»
Did something similar - Started as 1 Cleric, then 4 Druid, 4 Barbarian, Finished as druid. Took cleric level for the Sanctuary and Moonbeam, as well as heavy armor and persuasion proficiencies. I took Tavern Brawler and War Caster for feats. War Caster to help with Concentration checks. Still finishes with Woodland Being which is a bit OP. She can use spike growth and make you immune to it. Also fun fact - She and the Woad are immune to the Madness Aura from Abyssal Beckoners, so they will also have all resistance too.
Dude, please stop making build you killing me. Every time you upload a build, I start the game again with it . Alaready beat the game 10 times all with your builds 😂😂
Honestly, I don't think 2/10 sorc/ranger is terrible. With horde breaker, and twinned metamagic on ensnaring strike; its going to have a lot of staying power without too much multiclassing.
@@Shadowolf1181 forego barbarian and use monk instead? This build (when wild shape: owlbear) has higher constitution than wisdom, and you would be missing out on the resistances from bear heart
Ty for this fun build 🎉 but not recommended for honor mode. even in tactian its not so easy to buy a lot of posions, they cost a lot of gold and you also need to get good gear for your party. posion dependent builds are tricky and keep you from the narritive flow. I did it with the monk and it kept me from doing long rests and talking to my party members a lot. it is to bad that druids in the early game are pretty weak.
>Rage prevents spellcasting >Oh just expand all of caster slots and then rage Genius, humanity have achieved truly unfathomed levels of intelligence with this build. It's nice, but it's average at best. Also, showing literally first fight in the game as a level 3 or 4 character with giant hill potion is funny (not really)
Can anyone help me? I try do dialogue and for the first like 2 hours it would untransform me and let me talk then out of nowhere it just says i cant speak. I want to do this but i also want the main char doing dialogue?

Correction. It works below honour, dunno about tactician, according to reddit on honour works a bit different, if I understood correctly (I played honour only once for the dice). Either way, no one uses spider for too long I believe. My main gripe with druids is that their wildshapes are somewhat bland and boring. I usually stick with land druid and just cast, shift into cat only to get into holes, to not waste spell slots on gas form.

Damage - yes. But hit chance applies
@@TheSpudKingHow do you think is tawern bravler is still must have #1 thing)
Did this for my throwmancer karlack. Doesn't make sense for character, but super useful and does so much damage.
Take one level of white draconic sorcerer for armor of agathys. 6th level gives 30 extra hp plus cold thorns to let enemies smite themselves upon you.
This build doesn't have lvl 6 spells
I do have to ask- does your unarmed attacks being considered magical from the moon druid subclass interfere with tavern brawler's damage bonus?
So if you use Bear heart rage and turn into an owlbear, can you also use owlbear enrage?
@AshGreen359 Good point. Probably not, I would imagine.

Subscribing just because you pronounced Shillelagh correctly.
With Monk multiclass you can add wisdom to AC.
Mage armor, barbarian unarmored defense, and monk unarmored defense all have the same stack id, so monk would do nothing for you in this build

Don’t the “protection” ring/cloak add ac in Wild shape?
Isn't there a better way to skill so you don't end up with 13 con?
Technically you dont care, since wild shapes wil benefit from this +1 and you'll get round numbers in them
