Just in time for my Jack of all Trades run. thanks Ceph!! i feel like the trickiest thing is choosing a spell casting ability and timing the spell casting ability of the classes to get the most benefit from scrolls snd items. I think the key offensive ability would be charisma for Eldritch Blast which scales by character level, and since we end on Paladin. and its needed for conversation checks anyway. and you can raise charisma in Act 3 with the hat from Sorceror s sundries. and intel is covered by the warped intellect headband. So i would do it a bit differently and take 16 in charisma.

Having tried this early game, the main thing I would change is just to pick up the wizard level at 3 anyway if you’ve found a good lvl2 scroll. Even if flaming sphere are cloud of daggers is the only spell you can memorize from wizard because you’re not planning to get the warped headband, it’s a significant power increase at that level.

Jack of All Trades should be expertise in like 15 of the 17 skills, faux proficiency in the others, etc. In NwN2 it was a Master Orator build, the hardest title to earn in the game. Right after the sequence to earn the title you suffered the sequence that showed how weak you were without a party.

That's normally what I'd recommend for casters, but this character will never get high level spells (except wizard spells, which will be cast using INT), and won't generally be your item user, so you don't really use the charisma very well - better to give the hair to a more focused character!

But Cephalo.... you already had heavy armor with the previous level up, when you got Fighter. Picking Ranger gives nothing from the equipment department because you already have it all :O
@Cephalopocalypse
2 ай бұрын
We actually don't! When you take fighter (or paladin) at later levels, you only get medium armor proficiency. Only if taken at first level do they give heavy armour. It's confusing but that's how it works. Ranger Knight is one way to get around this, as are the cleric subclasses that give you heavy armor, because those proficiencies come from class abilities rather than the base proficiencies of the class.

This is how I usually play, I like effect of spells but I've noticed I mainly cast just regular cantrips. Great build idea to get the achievement I'm missing. In this type of build I wonder, what is the casting characteristic of the build, so any attacking cantrip will use? Charisma? - because of the last new class in Paladin? I know for wizard is Intelligence but after that you take Druid , so all the previous spells (I've got) are using Wisdom now?..... With many different multiclassing it is difficult for me to understand which modifier is used for spells which require spell DC ? Main issue for scrolls casting.
@cannyvalley8522

All spells and cantrips use spellcasting ability of a class you learned them from. (Except Shillelagh and Flame blade which are bugged and follow different rule.) All spells cast from items and scrolls as well as illithid powers use spellcasting ability of last new class taken. (This rule also applies for Shillelagh and Flame blade for some reason.) Spells learned from scrolls however always use int because they are learned as wizard. tldr: yeah JoaT is a mess what did you expect

Someone I look at and I know he's HIM xdd Also I'd like to name him "Avery Goodman" 😅 aka "a very good man" so it would be great if the name suited him...

For my first playthrough I played a 6 swords bard/5 old one (pact of the blade warlock) and i believe 1 level of light cleric. Its pretty good. Once you reach level 11 you get 3 attacks per action, bards have great skills, decent cantrips and rlly nice support spells. Warlock has eldritch blast, by far the best combat cantrip, great old one bonus is pretty decent, eldritch invocations, a decent spell list (I believe armor of agathys is pretty good when upcast). I recommend going for one class at a time if you care about getting more attacks, in which case you can easily get to level 7 in act 1, probably even 8 if you try. the build is high charisma, and wisdom isnt super important for the one cleric level, if you choose to take it. The biggest downside of the build is that it doesn't give you all 3 feats, just 2, but i think its worth it.

Probably bard? I looks unusual, but he/she has some different dialog options. A lot of funny spells. BG3 has a lot of blasting enemies classes, but bard brings fun and v.strong control + more healing (song of rest) during the day. And bard can do finishing blows to many character by range, melee or spell. I have chosen bard class for my fist play trough, and because I've run trough all levels I've discovered other strong options bard class brings.

bard if you want to be the hero character talking your way through difficult situations. fighter if you just want to smack stuff around. sorcerer if you want to cast spells and still have good dialogue choices. wizard if you don't care about dialogue and just want to cast. rogue or bard if you want to steal all the things. paladin if you want to add more depth to your role play. edit oh and a good-aligned dark urge start is probably the canon story, if you would like to experience it right away.
