The Ultimate Paladin Build in Baldur's Gate 3 (Easily Beat Honor Mode)
...from a number of spells and conditions, and very powerful spells and auras to complement it. The build has great crowd control by casting control spells like Hold Person as a bonus action thanks to Band of the Mystic Scoundrel. The build is also incredibly strong very early on and is perfect for a Tav thanks to the high Charisma and Strength.
To get started, choose Half-Orc Paladin at level 1. Half-Orc is by far the best race because the build is focused on guaranteeing critical hits with Smite. Half-Orcs get a passive feature called Savage Attacks which causes your critical hits to roll one of the damage dice an additional time and add it as extra damage to the critical hit. What’s crazy about this feature is that it also activates again on all other damage sources from that critical hit. That includes it being added to things like Smite, and Phalar Aluve’s Shriek, which means in this scenario, you’d get three additional dice worth of damage added - one for each damage source. We’ll always have Smite activating on critical hits as a reaction for this bonus damage. And don’t worry about overkill, if an enemy would die without the need to smite, it won’t cast. Also, if you don’t like how Half-Orcs look, you can use Disguise Self and still keep these racial bonuses. This can even make logical sense to change to Githyanki if you want to use the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane for example, and you’ll get the bonuses from being a Githyanki from the Sword, and at the same time keep bonuses from being a Half-Orc.
Half-Orc’s also get a passive feature called Relentless Endurance which causes them to regain 1 hit point instead of being downed when reaching 0 hit points. This can actually be very helpful if something unexpectedly terrible happens like falling off a glitched elevator and instead of losing your honor run, your half-orc ends up saving your run.
Make sure to select Oath of Vengeance as your subclass. Oath of Vengeance Paladins get 3 amazing spells from their Oath that are always prepared: Vow of Enmity, Misty Step, and Hold Person. All 3 of these spells are great and we’ll discuss them more when they are unlocked.
For your Background I prefer Soldier for proficiency in Athletics and Intimidation. This helps a lot if this is your Tav and your dialogue character, allowing you to intimidate your way through conversation.
For your Ability Points, take everything out of Dexterity and add them to Constitution and Charisma. Paladins gain health points equal to 6 + their Constitution modifier per level, so this will add up as you level - it also helps with maintaining concentration which we’ll want. Charisma is really important too for both dialogue and trader prices, but your charisma modifier also increases the number of prepared spells you can have and makes Aura of Protection more powerful, which grants your allies a bonus to saving throws equal to your Charisma Modifier.
At level 2 you’ll unlock a Fighting Style. Choose Great Weapon Fighting. This allows you to reroll when you roll a 1 or a 2 on a damage die for an attack with a two-handed melee weapon. This is especially powerful for a Paladin because unlike in 5e, added damage dice from ALL damage sources get rerolled, such as from Phalar Aluve’s Shriek, Githborn Psionic Weapon, Helldusk Glove’s Infernal Touch...

My favorite build everrrrrr
Played a 7/5 oathbreaker sorcadin and the tankiness, sustained dpr and nova damage was insane.
Got to bring one of the minotaurs in the underdark from full health to like 30 at lvl 4 on tactician and that fantasy remained consistent throughout my entire playthrough
Sorcadin is just amazing everywhere.
I get that paladin 2 bard 10 with the swords bard is good in bg3, but oh boi.
Pally 6 sorcerer 6 is just majestic combination.
i quite like warlock 4/paladin 8. you get a pretty powerfull eldritch blast. can go dump on both dex and str and use only charisma for melee damage. and you get 3 feats. which can let you get to 20 charisma incredibly easy.
i even advise to start as a warlock first, so you get comand to force the fire sword drop. and then go full pally. if you want heavy armor, you can just respec later when you find a heavy armor worth using(which is something people often forget to talk about, most of the early ones is complete trash).
@@marcosdheleno First good heavy armor is adamantine I think. And second is probably the dwarven splint sold by Lann Tarv in Moonrise, then probably Ketheric's armor. Act 3 has Persistence and Helldusk.
@@marcosdheleno yeah though i wish there was HexBlade in Bg3 just to try it. Warlock 2, paladin10
Or warlock 1, paladin 6, sorcerer/bard 5 for more slots.
Why don't you go sonething like warlock 5? For the extra attack with pact weapon and grt also extra attack from pally at 5 you basically attack 3 times.
It is a best build, but sadly it doesn't work on honour mode. No third attack from pact weapon.
@@KirDmA true i forgot about it
Something to add,
there is a necklace or ilithid power you can use to add vulnerability to damage types. I one shot orin making her vulnerable to slashing, oathbreaker aura (slashing dmg), cloud giant potion, and I was using almost everything this build has.
Thanks a lot, i am going to try this to beat HM, never used a guide in a build before and it seems a lot different to my usual playstyle, so i am very exited to try!
Came from TikTok. I've been following you there since you started posting BG3. Fantastic content and I am excited to try this build for sure!
Thank you!
Thank you!
@@Toyhouzethe same here, best content from BG3 . Got question about changing this build to 2x 1h weapons because I got nice gear from act 3 , can you give me some advice?
@Toyhouze
So you built this in Custom mode... (Proficiency Bonus is +4) What impact is that going to have on later play if I decide to use this build for an Honor run? Will I see diminishing returns? How much of the build is reliant on that Proficiency Bonus bump? (+4 not being available until Lvl 9...)
Great! Thank you!
Thanks for the Guide could you do one on your sorc lightning cleric too?
another great review!
What ability score do you choose for hags hair? Charisma or Strength?
For this build, what ilithid powers would ya recommend for the paladin?
Twin spell on drakethroat… now my fighter and phalar cleric can do thunder dmg too!
I'm still not sure how you get to that +6 saving throw (from the aura of protection). The highest I can go is 18 (maybe 19 if I'm pushing it) and that's not easy either.
anyone can explain?
I've kinda softened on Oath of vengeance. Oath of ancients gets a half spell damage aura at 7 which kind of negates the fireball thing since it works for all spell damage AND for your entire party. And getting level 5 slots via sorc doesn't matter as much since smite stops scaling at level 4 slots. You can pick up the Oath of vengence non-class spells via your sorc level ups.
I think there is an argument for respeccing at 7 and doing vengeance for the first 6 levels, but you can also just go ancients from level 1 and pick up the early gear that gives you effects on healing (temporary hitpoints, bless, and blade ward) and then use your oath charge to pre-heal your party as a bonus action and then they can just wreck most fights in the 2 turns they are buffed (effectively the same thing as casting vow of enmity when factored over the entire party).
Also for weapons Duellist's Prerogative is another good option if you're willing to give up great weapon master. As a trade off you can weaponize your bonus action using the weapons extra ability. Plus if you take Defensive Duelist you basically get a Shield reaction with no cooldown. You can even take an opportunity attack and still be able to react and shield yourself because of the sword's ability.
As it stands with OoA + Duelist's Perogative, I'm getting hit only once every few battles which the reactions then tends to negate and spells which don't use attack rolls get halved from the aura. While I miss the big damage from GWM, I'm basically unhittable and my party takes a lot less damage.
The advantage of Vengeance is Vow of Enmity - melee advantage on EVERYTHING for the whole fight (90% of the time). OOV is the boss killer. Haven't tried it, but mixing OOV with Arcane Trickster for lots of smite spell slots + advantage + sneak attack... seems fun.
The disguise self from gold bloodline, is there anything special one can do with it besides getting advantage on some items? I wanna make my sorcadin a drow and have no real need of it that i know of. Looking more towards the white bloodline for armor of agathys. Just abit of a shame that ice storm is locked behind sorcerer lvl 7 :
I had no idea you could cast vow of enmity on yourself!!!😮 this is incredible, bye bye risky ring 😅
If you cast disguise self does it stay in cutscenes and party special scenes ?this whole thing looks great just i hate the half orc look
I like the build so far but the low dex makes my tav always last in initiative which feels bad. Think im gonna try 16str/14dex/12con/8/8/16charisma
Can someone explain why sorc over lock? Even if the extra attack from pact doesn't work on honor, you still get cha as main stat and refreshing spell slots for more smites.
I was just thinking about doing this build on wyll, full he’ll dusk set and 6/6. Or I’m putting the full set on my fire monk karlach
what illithid powers should i run for this build?
Another favorite of mine is 6 Tiger Heart Barbarian, 2 Paladin, and 4 Sorcerer. Main features are maiming sweep attacks that target up to 3 targets, at once and that deal smite damage on each hit. Also you can even use the shield spell while raging.
What does 4 Sorc buy you here?
Spell slots to smite more with.@@MichaelCampbell01
so many great tips in this one. Now if only I can find a bunch of gold to remove oathbreaker from my paladin bard warlock
Do the things that break your oath with other characters.
if you're fine with abusing glitches you can just use the infinite money glitch with vendors instead.
This is my canonical Dark Urge build
How do you get the glyph of warding?
What are the 3 best companions for this character?
do you multi class with this i herd running pally fighter and champ is busted
the best helm is the one that gives arcane acuity on melee attacks
I think bhaalist armor and the thunder spear is a better combo. It tanks your armor rating pretty hard (although you could put the armor on someone else) and lets your melee hits do 60odd base dmg not 30.
Can someone help me out with his ability scores? How the heck does he get his charisma to 23? He makes his charisma 19 and then has no items to boost the stat. Also is he saying we basically need to rely on strength potions for the entire game for attack rolls?? I’m so confused I need help and I’m trying to not be dumb 😒
My favorite is still 2 Paladin, 6 Bard, 3 Sorcerer, and 1 wizard. Just crazy versatile build that can do just about anything.
ahh wolf on shadowheart i see what u did there
How do you get your Charisma so high? Also do you think if I were to be a bit more focused on strength would it hurt the build. Personally I don’t like having to rely on strength potions
Mirror of Loss grants +3 CHA and this build gets the ASI Feat for +2 CHA. You can get +3 STR from Auntie Ethel's hair + Potion of Everlasting Vigour if you don't want to use STR Elixirs.
this or your warlock build? Which one is more fun?
You missed saying where the Ring is located. It's also an Act 3 item and it's easy to miss as you only get it if you are teleported to the jungle by the djinni. I assume the best rings before this time are one of the ones that just add flat damage to your attacks.
Could you do this with those four builds from your "Four OP Builds" video? One has the tavern brawler thrower.
Yeah this would work great with those other builds!
What about 2 War Cleric, 6 Ven Pal, 4 Drac Sorc or 4 G. O. O. Blade Lock
I got nice finesse one handed weapons from act 3 , is there any way to adjust this build for 2x 1h ?
No. Delete your character. It will never beat honor mode.
@@Sinnixk I do not even want to start this mode ( bdw it's HONOUR mode ) , and I finished this game already
Cloak of protection would work much better with aura of protection and helldusk armour as you'd be making saving throws all over the place, particularly if you chose war caster as a feat. Personally, I find blur using extended metamagic such a good use of concentration when using a Sorcadin as with blur, high AC and the saving throws mentioned above you're pretty much invulnerable. When fighting bosses you can always change up concentration use for hold person, but you'd have CC without concentration if you pick command. Best early on choosing Sorc as first pick in the version I say above for con save prof, but after getting helldusk armour you could respec to Pally 1st pick for heavy armour if you wanted that, or you could change 1 level Sorcerer for Cleric to still have con save prof and get heavy armour from Cleric. Best early build I've ever played, and I change build a lot, is 3 Sorc with blur and 1 war cleric for war priest charges and armour and shield prof. You whittle down enemies but barely anything hits you. Soloed attack on green grove and Act 1 with that. Level 5 you choose war caster to be more robust. Just buy up loads of health potions and use whispering promise to grant bless on a bonus when needed
What's the most OP build for tactician
I tend to do pal/barb. But I will try this build
if you weant something diferent, but still strong, try warlock 4/paladin 8. you get to go full charisma for damage, and can completely disregard both str and dex(still worth get dex to 10 for no -) the beauty is that you get a powerfull ranged cantrip with eldritch blast, and 3 feats(you can even use 1 for alert so you get alot of initiative which will be something you will lack otherwise).
from there you can just do whatever you want with whatever oath you like. ancients is great for the tankness(and its not hard to maintain), and oathbreaker is very strong for added damage.
it makes for an amazing MC, since you can easily get charisma to 20, with focus on persuasion.
and like i said, you have alot of variations you can pick, from sword and board, to a 2hander. to support or even healer.
or just stick with medium armor, sacrifice a bit of constitution for that dex, and gain the bonus ini.
No matter what build I do I always end up with the gloomstalker
This build is really nice, beside all the stuff you need that this build work. Is mostly in act 3, littel bit sad.
Anyways its good and it does what it does.....Kill everything!
Does this build use tadpoles or no?
10 sword bard, 2 paladin. use banishing smite critical (10d10)with divine smite and I'm pretty sure that's the strongest single burst attack in the game.
I am trying to build a charisma based support barbarian. It’s based around the Natures Snare staff and the Gloves of Power to debuff the enemies. I take the feat magic initiative: Druid to gain access to shillelagh and faerie fire. Then polearm master and either sentinel/savage attacker/shield master. Im using karlach, but a strong heart halfling tav would be better.
How could I make this build better for honor mode?
Bane and ensnare just from attacking, or when an enemy moves to you or away from you sounds nice. Cast shillelagh before rage and it seems like it would be a fun and useful way to use wild magic barb. I’d pair this with a ranger and way of the open hand monk off the top of my head, but I don’t know what else might work well with it. Open hand monk could get up close and personal to deal damage safely, ranger would get great use out of hunters mark on a locked down target.
What do you gain by being a charisma based barbarian? Are you doing it just for socials?
Something ive always wondered. Does Vow of Emnity also give enemies advantage on attacking you if you cast it on yourself?
Yes
Sorcadin is S tier but personally I think the 10/2 bard pally edges it out when built right. They’re both amazing though just a matter of preference.
You can twin cast the element buff from drake throat glaive???????? That's crazy!!
My gripe with Paladin or spell based classes in general for that matter, is the need to long-rest often to replenish those spellslots. Not something I want to do often in general, but especially in the Honor mode playthrough I'm planning. Or are my concerns unfounded?
You can get near near infinite spell slots with potions of angelic reprieve and sorcerer create spell slot!
@@Toyhouze Angelic Reprieve is somewhat rare but yeah, sorcerer's creatre spellslots for this particular build should alleviate a lot of the need to long rest I guess ^^
Explain why sleep at level 7 is useful?
Where do you get initiative from with such low dex? Also this means using most of the tadpoles on your Tav.
I'm guessing through dex gloves through til house of hope. Then when done with house of hope respec con points into dex when swapping gear
I still wish they would had let Humans have extra feat at start... could use that for alert...wtf bonus is extra carry weight???, one would think that is a bonus for Half-Orcs not Humans FFs .. grrr
If you hold A on xbox or X on ps5 idk about pc but it will bring up a search area its game changing
on pc its alt
Figured it out yesterday 😂😂
Saved me alot of running around
Running this build, but even with advantage, I am missing attacks like crazy! What gives??
Half-orc gets intimidation as a class proficiency go with outlander for athletics an survival. Survival isn't bad and one more skill proficiency won't hurt.
So how do you get your spell DC up to land hold person... I'm not seeing any gear with arcane acuity. Feel like the band is better off with swords bard archer that can quickly build that.
build is probably gonna struggle with spell save dc. not gonna be able to hold tougher enemies reliably. if you drop arcane synergy, you can swap it for hat of fire acuity. lv4 scorching ray will give you +10 spell save dc if you don't miss a ray.
Would there be any benefit to sacrificing either of the 6 levels for 2 levels in fighter for action surge?
Action surge is a garbage now.
Sacrifice 2 levels for one attack per shot rest?
Especially when there is a war domain cleric which gives the same 3 extra attacks per long rest, only at the FIRST level.
And you can use all these extra attacks in one fight, which is much more flexible
I see, those are valid points. I didn't think of it that way.
Should i spec into oathbreaker? Will it work with this videos reccomendation or will it be worse? From a purely combat standpoint
It's not too much different. But i'd go oathbreaker later once you get Hold Person and Misty Step from Sorcerer so you won't need it from OoV.
so multiclass paladin and sorc?@@Toyhouze
what is the second strongest race for this? (I really dont like orcs..)
Githyanki is really strong, and Duergar for the invisibility that can be used endlessly out of combat. I played it as a Drow and it was still great.
Try going Pally 2 Swords Bard 10.
Get banishing smite with one of your magical secrets. Use the helmet that grants you higher spell DC that you get in the mason's hidden room in act 2 and stack that with the ring from the jungle. That will make your spells basically irresistible after you hit your enemies a couple of times with extra attack and potentially elixir of bloodlust, allowing you to basically guarantee a big CC on your enemies turn 1. Hold person or glyph of warding sleep guarantees a crit. You can also use command approach for a cleave attack to stack your arcane acuities asap or to use some other AOE CC such as confusion.
Stack all that with savage attacker feat, bhaalist armor and some piercing two hander such as Nyruna
or just say "i was watching the Nizar GG" Build xD
@@MaxaraUD I made changes to that too. The Shadow option Spear of Shar is waaaaaay more powerful than the trident. Among other things
@@ManualdeSobrevivencia yes but... "shadow option" 😂
Hmmm wouldn’t Risky Ring work nice with this build?
Need a pure fighter build with best gear for more actions
Does the extra damage die work on honor mode? I know they limited all the damage rider stuff.
It's called a damage rider source and I'm not sure
im at lv 6 and no matter what I do I cant hit targets with my paladin following this build... always at 25 or 50% chance to hit.. missing everything... whats am I doing wrong?
You're meant to use the spells from sorceror to apply debuffs to your target, so it increases your chance
9:04
Be careful with Cull the Weak, and maybe delay taking it until level 12. Firstly, the invisible AoE for Cull the Weak will harm friendlies, too. Not a showstopper, but be aware.
Secondly, CtW has had a bug (or maybe unintended consequence) that might seriously hamper your leveling progress. I don't believe the problem is fixed yet. The issue has been this: When your enemies die from the Cull the Weak damage finishing them off, the "credit" for the kill does not go to you or the Party. So, these kills do not give you XP.
The XP loss from CtW is probably not going to account for even half of your kills, but it can be enough to keep you a level or so behind where you ought to be. This could make a significant difference in how difficult some late game boss fights are, and it could potentially mean the difference between completing or failing an Honour Mode run.
Well that has to be a glitch. Ctw didn't use to harm allies
Please make a general esdeath build if you can I beg
Is any of that gear in the 1st zone?
Only Gloves of the fallen paladin
Cool build but I did notice that SOO many items are in act 3 or even later act 3. I would much appreciate more recommended items that are worth to get earlier bcs at the point im gonna have full set it will remain like 3hours of gameplay at most.
Is savage strikes a damage rider source? Does this work in honor mode?
Nearly every DRS is removed in honour mode
Since you're taking 6/6 into Sorcerer, I would strongly suggest going Oath of Devotion instead.
A. You can just take Hold Person and Misty step on your sorcerer levels anyway. To be fair, those two are really strong, so going Oath of Vengeance to begin with, and respeccing at lvl 9 is a viable alternative, though spell scrolls for those 2 spells are actually quite common, and you get 2 items in Underdark that grant a total of 6 uses of Misty Step per long rest for free, so it's up to you.
B. Oath of Devotion actually has something that's equal-to-better to the Vow of enmity, that you can also pre-cast before the fight begins- Sacred Weapon.
A bit of info to begin with, Advantage is worth +3.3- ie. it turns a 10.5 average roll into a 13.825 average. Realistically it's a bit better, going up to +5 when your base hit chance is somewhere between 40-65% but it very quickly goes down in usefulness as your base hit chance goes below or above that range.
Oath of Devotion's "Sacred Weapon" (Also class action, uses the same resource as vow of enmity) on the other hand lets you add your charisma modifier to your weapon attack rolls, on top of your strength/dex modifier.
Considering that you start with 16 charisma, at the very least it's roughly equal to vow of enmity; +3 vs +3.325
as the game progresses though, it gets better. Looking at your own example shown in the video- your Aura of Protection gave you +6 to saving throws, so Sacred Weapon would also give you +6 to attack rolls.
That's better than advantage regardless of what's your base hit chance.
And the best part about that bonus- It's NOT an advantage. Meaning, you can get other reliable sources of advantage on top of it, with things like Gloves of the Growling Underdog, Gloves of the Automaton, Risky Ring, and walk through the game with 99.75% hit chance against everything, like you have a tavern brawler for weapon attacks. (and no, it's not an exaggeration, 'expected accuracy' is 65%, with another +6 to attack rolls, your 'expected accuracy' becomes 95%, so with advantage it's 99.75%, this is mostly how/why Tavern Brawler, and Aspect of the beast:Tiger on Wildheart-Tiger Barbarian is so damn good in BG3, it basically guarantees that you *will* hit *all* your attacks)
And it doesn't go both ways.
To get basically-permanent Advantage, ie. to replace the boon given to you by vow of enmity, you just need to sacrifice 1 equipment slot- either ring or gloves.
(or just play well, optimise your party, and use one of the dozens of ways of acquiring advantage that don't require wearing any specific items; like spells, Battle-Master fighter manoeuvres, or Open Hand monk stunning strike/flurry of blows:topple.)
To get a flat +6 to attack rolls on the other hand you'd need to wear specific, otherwise-suboptimal, gloves (+2), specific, otherwise-suboptimal, helmet (+2), and... oh, there is no third equipment slot that will give you the remaining +2 attack rolls, and oh, both of those items are in act 3 anyway, while the gloves of the growling underdog are in early-mid act 1, and the mass-advantage-giver, Faerie Fire and Fog Cloud, are 1st lvl spells.
Oh and the last part... using the vow of enmity this way is like 99.9% a bug, and will, eventually, be fixed. Sacred Weapon giving you +6 to your attack rolls, turning your base 'expected accuracy' from 65% to 95%, for all attacks, against any enemy you want to, is both Rules-As-Written and Rules-As-Intended, and won't ever be changed.
some good points here
Agree on most of this except self-casting vow of enmity being a bug. Larian themselves admit it's intended to work like that, either in a patch note or a q&a somewhere iirc.
For sure, it still bugs me when the tooltip doesn't match the function, though that's just my neurosis.@@lamvutran9345
@@lamvutran9345 Self-Casting vow of enmity is a bug. It's not intended to work like that at, and doesn't work like that in 5e. Where has Larian admitted that the way it works is the way it's supposed to?

If i play as an oathbreaker and lose hold person can i still relearn it from sorcerer?
Yes but you'll need to be at least a level 3 sorcerer
@@Toyhouze thankyou, one more question does our draconic ancestry gold also apply our charisma modifier to searing smite as well since it's a fire attack?
I'm not sure about choosing Soldier as the background if you play a Half-Orc. Half-Orcs already get Intimidation proficiency, so if you want Athletics proficiency, go with Outlander instead.
Can i use this build on laezel?
He provided a Githyanki specific weapon, so yeah. You'll miss out on the half orc damage but you'll gain the Githyanki benefits instead.
Soldier for intimidation proficiency is redundant with half-orc
Run this paladin with 3 gloomstalkers with drow poison that surprise enemies and use their extra attacks to sleep everything before they get a turn.
Can I be dark urge for this build?
If ur going 6/6 how do you have 4th and 5th level spells
Your initial stat spread should be 16 str 14 con, having three odd numbers starting stats is extremely suboptimal because you will never want to spend two feats on ASI.
Idk why you'd ever put a point in str if you keep up on hill giant and cloud giant potions every rest or lvl up stores restock and you're good I've done that with 2 characters this run and id never do it any other way especially in act 3 because you have a infinite long rest without resetting you buffs in the house of pain just don't take the hammer
Honestly do not think I could go for under 10 in dex it pretty much ensures you go after all of your enemies go if you can go before some of the enemies you can set up faster or even just kill enemies before they get to attack you. There is not rly a big issue letting other party members going before you being last in the whole fight just means you or others eat more dmg than you have to.
You wanna be especially cheesy use the Diva Mace once you get to Act 3 for an additional 4d8 Radiant damage per hit. It's also a one handed weapon so you can use a shield to help boost your survivability.
Naw big dick sword 🗡️
all the damage riders don’t apply multiplicatively in Honor Mode
W video
Went to get Ethel’s hair for this build, and dammit I should’ve let someone else lead the dialogue bc now I have to spend money on the oathbreaker guy lmAO oh well. It’s patch 6 and they haven’t fixed the merchant bug yet sooooooooo I have 16k gold.
I played a build similar to this. Same subclasses and splits, but I went half wood elf for increased speed. For my feats I chose GWM and alert. Gear, balduran's helm, cloak of protection, armor and boots of persistence, crusher ring, risky ring, hill giant gloves, greater health amulet, balduran's giantslayer and darkfire shortbow.
Risky ring gives advantage on all attacks but comes with disadvantage on saving throws. My lowest saving throw is a +12 to intelligence. Because of the stone features passive, at a max roll I can have +15 to int, between +18-23 on strength, con, and charisma saves, a +17-21 wisdom save, and +15-18 dex save. Once I got everything online, I think I ended up failing all of one save that I got out of on the very next turn because I was given a chance to save (for CC effects, not damage rolls).
With the armor and my weapons, I have a base 60 ft/18 meter walking speed, 23 AC, +7 initiative so I usually go first, 142 hp (I do 6th level aid and heroes feast on my party with shadowheart using gear to get free casts or replace spell slots so I have 179 hp), resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, piercing, fire, and cold damage, and I can't be paralyzed or magically restrained. I do about 35-40 damage on average with a 99% hit chance on the first hit for everything with less than like, 22 AC, and 90% on the subsequent hits and a free haste.
When I go all out using haste and giant form, I I do 40-49 on regular hits. With all four hits and confirmed crits I did more than 300 damage to Raphael in one turn and took 80% of his health in two. And since I usually have +20 on my con saves and resistance to like, most of the damage types in game, I'm pretty sure the only time I broke concentration on my haste is when one of the mind players with fire shield hit me with like, a level six magic missile and made me roll an insane amount of checks until I critically failed one. And I still got haste back up, into the elder brains dimension, and soloed it in two rounds.
It took a bit to really come on line, but there's a reason Sorcadin is considered one of, if not the strongest multi class in dnd.
just a heads up be careful using friends in higher difficulties as they will get aggroed on site
Friends at upper levels will agro npcs
How did you get the stats this high?
"Game knowledge"
7:58 You shouldn't put both points into charisma. Only even numbers increase your bonuses, so put one into either strength or constitution.
+1 charisma from Hag
He either missed it or already used it. Either way he doesn't mention it in the video. I'm not talking about other builds you could theoretically have, I'm talking about the one in the video at the timestamp. There's no reason to spend the points from that feat to bring you up to an odd number. If you end up getting something that increases it later, just go respec at Withers.
@@brettgreen5044 sure, odd numbers are useless. I just wanted to explain that in this menu hag's buff doesn't shown even if taken
You missed the location of the boots let me guess house of hope again?
They’re in a chest in the room you defeat Gortash.
11:45 It's not "Jezerath" like you pronounce, it's "Jerezath"
Why do you don't need to become fire dragon sorc and why you need to become cold dragon sorc. Because you already have fire resistance with equipment, don't need fireball at all and absolutely want armour of agathys(you will be always in melee, this spell is amazing for melee characters) and cold damage resistance. Last but not least - if you half orc, you shouldn't be ashamed of your heritage, be proud!
So wait how did you get a 23 charisma
Mirror of loss probs
One thing I would add that may not be popular opinion is that you want your paladin to have the lowest ac in your group. You will always be concentrating which makes enemies want to target you even more and if you use the adamantite medium armor you are immune to critical hits and have lower ac because you won’t have super high ac. Use the bow that adds initiative to help with going sooner.
That doesent make sense to me you have controdicting statements in this post like what?? Sure no cross but i'd rather just not get hit at all at that point.. this makes no sense the way its written
@@sparkypikachu7776 I believe the issue being referred to is that when your front-liner has insane ac, enemies often ignore him and attack the rest of your party instead. So as a front-line role, that's something you want to balance. You want survivability, but as a tank you also want to keep enemies away from the rest of your team.
@@Anthony0fFire ahhh okay that makes more sense. Still that depends what your other pastry is, most rouges can hide away and if you have a barb they can tank but it's smth to consider, it just kinda counteracts the whole point of concentrating on spells like hold person and stuff.. idk i get it but it seems counteracting imo
I don't want to be half orc, ew. (proceeds to disguise self into a different green monstrosity)
is this build still this broken as of now ?
Yeah it's probably my favorite build in the entire game.
@@Toyhouze oh yeah sorry im completly new to this game never played dnd either but im at moorise towers where you have to fightou know who lol
compelled duel nerfed sadly
Will breaking oath ruin this build ?
It will still be good, but you lose a lot of nice abilities like misty step and hold person. However, later in the build you can get these back from Sorcerer levels.
