Since you mentioned AOA and how it was sub-optimal for you, here's an AOA build. i think to handle ranged, you'll have to kill those archers 1st while for casters, counterspell is a must. level 8 theorycraft as always for solo tactician run: "Abjurer of Agathys" archfey warlock 2, abjurer wizard 5, tempest cleric 1 cha 15+2, wis 15+1, con 14, dex 9 and either str or int at 9 (the remainder at 8) race: deep gnome (or any other race with superior darkvision) background: any is fine key skills: none key cantrips: eldritch blast, resistance key spells: misty step, armor of agathys, hellish rebuke, create water, shield, mage armor, counterspell, find familiar, haste (at least until we get stoneskin) ASI: heavy armor master (yes we will wear heavy armor) invocations: agonizing blast, armor of shadows tactics; start the day by casting armor of agathys at your highest level slot then spam mage armor on your familiar to charge your arcane ward (armor of shadows). you can hide your familiar until your next rest. turn 1: action: haste yourself hasted action: resistance move towards enemies reaction: wrath of he storm if you get hit or shield if you need to recharge your ward or counterspell if enemies are casting spells turn 2 onwards: action: resistance hasted action: create water melee enemies reaction: wrath of he storm if you get hit or shield if you need to recharge your ward or counterspell if enemies are casting spells so armor of agathys here would deal 15 dmg every time you get hit, 30 if they are wet. this is more of a late game build that benefits from having more slots (to use hellish rebuke more) and later game spells (stoneskin/fire shield) would wrap up the final 4 levels by taking abjurer to 9 to increase those arcane ward charges and spell slots. works best in solo play so enemies will only attack you. should be fun to watch enemies kill themselves hitting you. a simpler version would be to do away with the arcane ward + armor of shadows combo and just get to stoneskin asap. a draconic sorc 7, tempest cleric 1 would be the path for that. Feel free to let me know what you think and if you have questions.
I like the inclusion of the water idea. It's really neat that they've done some creative things with this game to go slightly off the beaten path. It's kind of like d&d 5e with a ton of houserules. But I like it. It allows people to come up with creative combos that aren't just taken from the table top, but still incorporates the things from there that work.
@@thedungeon1578 agreed. i'd even wager to say larian does dnd better than wotc. some interactions are simply more intuitive. like not needing to force movement people into spirit guardians. you can just walk nearby and dmg them which is what damaging aura effects are seen to do in media/literature. i also like how they simplified sneak attack with throwing weapons (a common fantasy trope). no need anymore to check if your javelin is finesse. if you're throwing, it's a ranged attack. all ranged attacks trigger sneak attack which imo makes sense because you have a clear way to aim for a targets weak spot. regardless of whatever you're throwing (as long as it's a viable thrown weapon). and so on. Larian just made me fall in love with DND again after i;ve abandoned it. none of the UA excites me as much as what larian did with elements, weapon action, etc.
Nice the classic sorcadin. I wouldve personally started sorc 1 at least for the con saves. I find that there are better lighter armors, especially clothes over heavy armor. Imo not worth giving up dex for initiative and stealth for an extra 1 AC, especially for your build which has AOA. i'll share my own AOA build in a separate comment. I love twin casting haste but i havent been able to do it alot. Right now i'm considering getting a familiar to have a target for twinned haste since i play solo. casting it on animated dead doesnt seem to be worth it since they die easily. Agreed that bow is godly. That would make me tweak my ranged martial build if i got that. I tweaking builds for crits only matters jf you take assassin. I still wouldve taken battlemaster for your archer. The champion doesnt really increase those crit chances by much. I think as long as you have access to 3rd level sorc spells, you're good. Fireball is there, lightning bolt, etc you just upcast if you want dmg. The main concen spell SHOULD be haste given how broken it is in BG3. we dont really need higher spells known for concen spells since the concen slot is taken by haste.
Some of the heavy armors are really nice actually with AoA, something I hadn't really discovered at the time I made this video. There's a couple that reduce incoming damage, allowing you to get a little more out of it. But yeah, starting sorc is always a good idea too.
So the spell slots actually stack in d&d. The 6 levels of paladin only count as 3 "full" caster levels, but the 6 levels of sorcerer are 6 full levels. Combined with the 3 full levels worth of paladin, I basically have the spell slots of a 9th level caster. However, I still only have the spells available from my classes, so only 2nd level paladin spells and 3rd level sorcerer spells. It's still nice though, since I can upcast things with higher slots or use them for smites.

Since you mentioned AOA and how it was sub-optimal for you, here's an AOA build. i think to handle ranged, you'll have to kill those archers 1st while for casters, counterspell is a must. level 8 theorycraft as always for solo tactician run:
"Abjurer of Agathys"
archfey warlock 2, abjurer wizard 5, tempest cleric 1
cha 15+2, wis 15+1, con 14, dex 9 and either str or int at 9 (the remainder at 8)
race: deep gnome (or any other race with superior darkvision)
background: any is fine
key skills: none
key cantrips: eldritch blast, resistance
key spells: misty step, armor of agathys, hellish rebuke, create water, shield, mage armor, counterspell, find familiar, haste (at least until we get stoneskin)
ASI: heavy armor master (yes we will wear heavy armor)
invocations: agonizing blast, armor of shadows
tactics;
start the day by casting armor of agathys at your highest level slot then spam mage armor on your familiar to charge your arcane ward (armor of shadows). you can hide your familiar until your next rest.
turn 1:
action: haste yourself
hasted action: resistance
move towards enemies
reaction: wrath of he storm if you get hit or shield if you need to recharge your ward or counterspell if enemies are casting spells
turn 2 onwards:
action: resistance
hasted action: create water melee enemies
reaction: wrath of he storm if you get hit or shield if you need to recharge your ward or counterspell if enemies are casting spells
so armor of agathys here would deal 15 dmg every time you get hit, 30 if they are wet. this is more of a late game build that benefits from having more slots (to use hellish rebuke more) and later game spells (stoneskin/fire shield)
would wrap up the final 4 levels by taking abjurer to 9 to increase those arcane ward charges and spell slots. works best in solo play so enemies will only attack you. should be fun to watch enemies kill themselves hitting you.
a simpler version would be to do away with the arcane ward + armor of shadows combo and just get to stoneskin asap. a draconic sorc 7, tempest cleric 1 would be the path for that.

How did you get all those level 4 and one level 5 spell slots?
So the spell slots actually stack in d&d. The 6 levels of paladin only count as 3 "full" caster levels, but the 6 levels of sorcerer are 6 full levels. Combined with the 3 full levels worth of paladin, I basically have the spell slots of a 9th level caster.
