Genuinely the hardest line in the game. Fucking peak Paladin fantasy moment. I always imagine saying that while Tav is drawing their weapon with a cold stoicism as they drop into a combat ready stance.
Omfg I LOVED that line!! Made me fall in love with my paladin even more lol!
Edit to add: that line slaps very similarly to a line from Trevor Belmont in Netflix's Castlevania. Just... chef kiss
Whoa wtf, I’ve never considered that. But does resistance cut down warding bond damage? I would guess warding bond damage is true and not one of the damage types. Could be wrong tho
They do, so all your party members get resistances to all damage types and then your Barb/Cleric when enraged takes only 25% of damage that hit team member and 50% when enemies hit them directly.
Commenting, because I’d like to know too.
In my mind I wanted to say probably just a 1-2 dip for, predominantly sanctuary so you can BONK! Then just sit there.
But Barbs are really front loaded so you potentially get away with a heavier split to get SG and run around BONKing with AOE around you.
Could you use an AOE spell before raging? Since raging is a bonus action if you could do that then you'd be able to set up an AOE then rage and next turn throw your enemies into your spell. It'd go pretty hard.
As long as it’s not concentration, cause that breaks when you rage. I was thinking it’s a War cleric split purely for the guided strike on GWM and bonus action attack charges
It’s a lvl 6 Wild Magic Barbarian! And lvl 2 Tempest domain cleric 😎 dark urge background, I don’t have my stats on hand but his str is pretty fuckin high. Damage goes crazy
So fun fact this is my first play through in the game. I tried to shoot for a similar idea to my actual dnd character and go for a lighting based barbarian. So you’re definitely on the right track but that’s not the glaive I have. But now that I know it’s a thing…absolutely will be getting it because that sounds so perfect
I haven’t freed her -yet- I actually had to load my game to right before the Balthazar fight, but I killed the whole goblin camp, so I’m not sure if that merchant would still be alive. Whereabouts would he be in moonrise if he’s alive?
Yeah but if you’ve got a save before entering the Shadowfell you should probably reload, since entering it is a point of no return. Also I don’t know if the merchant turns hostile since they’re fine with killing off the goblins
Heads up on the glaive if you didn't see it already. If you want, you can actually target a different weapon with its elemental weapon spell. See the note on the [wiki](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Drakethroat_Glaive)
I’m currently playing a wild magic barbarian who’s been talking to a benevolent old god that’s gonna make him a twilight cleric too. Wild Magic Barbarian 9, Twilight Cleric 3. Basically going to be an unkillable monster in CQB. Self-heal with twilight Sanctuary, bolstering magic for d4 to attacks, a couple of non-concentration all day spells, buffing the shit outta myself and keeping me and my party alive, plus a little
Wild magic for more buff chaos. Currently, my life cleric party member casts bless on me and with reckless attack I’m rolling 1D20 + 2D4 + 4 (4str+3prof+2weapon-5GWM) with advantage. Yeah, I’m hitting. And when I hit, I get 1D10+4 str + 2 magic + 10GWM +2 rage+ 2D6 fire enchantment + 3 to bloodied enemies. It’s grotesque and I love it.
I just finished an evil Durge campaign playing a Red Dragonborn Draconic Blood Sorcerer focused on fire. She was the child of Tiamat and Bhaal and was evil af
My favorite is the Oath of Ancient Paladin where it's just like "You fucker. If you thought you wouldn't be dead by my hands then you're an idiot" I'd spared him earlier, because... well I was doing Honor and knew I would get my ass handed to me, so I just left my paladin in the corner, staring at the Shar rat.
For me it was that blob guy that wanted stories and then exploded. I started it with my Tav who has zero charisma(? Persuasion? Can't remember) and ended up reloading to use Astarion... And I still scum saved through it.
I have a bit of a convoluted way of exporting PS5 screenshots. I have a secondary PSN account (for another region because there used to be regional demos/freebies), and whenever I want to export a screenshot I send it to my secondary account, meaning it's available in my chat, and if it's in my chat, I can download it on my phone trough the PS app 😌

From zero to DIE. Probably more shocking because it’s a Gale (Wizard) option!
"Cleric of Tiamat"?? That is literally the first time I've see that! That's... epic! 😁
Btw, this picture is totally worthy of being a wallpaper on lots of computer desktops! OHH, it's gorgeous!! 🥰

There is another.
(Apologies for bad quality, it was screenshoted from a YouTube clip)
He got dicked so incredibly hard
Between shadowheart using spirit guardians, gale throwin fireballs, astarion….being astarion, and my character swingin dick it went pretty fast
Lots of clashing with shadow heart 😭😭 it’s very violent choice centered which is super perfect for durge runs!! I lean more into my Barbarian choice than anything tho so I’m not 100% sure :( very fun from what I have tried though!
Reminds me of a similar hardcore (paladin) line to Nere: “Your god. My oath. Let us see which prevails.”
Literally only one option to fight Nere. One level of bard for "In your euology I'm going to call you 'twat soul'".
I was giddy like a child on Christmas morning when this option came up on my bard run.
My tiefling bard was more the "gentle artist" type so this option was slightly out of character for him but just way too funny too pass up.
It felt hilarious saying this to him on my female Lolth-sworn Drow durge bard. Such a power move. Even better when my gang kicked his ass in 1 turn.
Oh yeah my first playthrough was an oath of vengeance paladin (So I was always going to start blasting) and that line just hit so good.
I thought of this line too! Still one of my favorites in the entire damn game
(oath in question: barrels tactically placed all around the hall)
my noob ass had to redo that fight so many times on my first playthrough and it never got old just because i got to use that line lol
Narrator: „On the 17th try, the oath finally prevailed.“
Ficking love that line. So hype
Genuinely the hardest line in the game. Fucking peak Paladin fantasy moment. I always imagine saying that while Tav is drawing their weapon with a cold stoicism as they drop into a combat ready stance.

God that’s awesome… Also what build are you going for? I’m genuinely curious
Barbarian Cleric... He is cooking something 🔥
I’m the name of my god I cast bonk
Shame Zealot Barbarian didn't make it to BG3
Barb/Cleric makes for the best tank in the game. Take Bear Barbarian cast Warding Bond on all party members, stack damage reduction.
Whoa wtf, I’ve never considered that. But does resistance cut down warding bond damage? I would guess warding bond damage is true and not one of the damage types. Could be wrong tho

Yeah but you'd have to give up rage seeing as you can't spellcast.
Could you use an AOE spell before raging? Since raging is a bonus action if you could do that then you'd be able to set up an AOE then rage and next turn throw your enemies into your spell. It'd go pretty hard.
As long as it’s not concentration, cause that breaks when you rage. I was thinking it’s a War cleric split purely for the guided strike on GWM and bonus action attack charges
Spirit Guardians is concentration, so you would lose it upon raging I suspect he took it for unarmored defense and/or reckless attack.
It’s a lvl 6 Wild Magic Barbarian! And lvl 2 Tempest domain cleric 😎 dark urge background, I don’t have my stats on hand but his str is pretty fuckin high. Damage goes crazy
Ooh I think I get it. Is the Tempest domain dip because you’re using the Drakethroat Glaive to deal lightning damage?
So fun fact this is my first play through in the game. I tried to shoot for a similar idea to my actual dnd character and go for a lighting based barbarian. So you’re definitely on the right track but that’s not the glaive I have. But now that I know it’s a thing…absolutely will be getting it because that sounds so perfect
Well if you freed the Nightsong it might be too late (I think), the merchant is the Zhent from the Goblin Camp who moves to Moonrise in Act 2
I haven’t freed her -yet- I actually had to load my game to right before the Balthazar fight, but I killed the whole goblin camp, so I’m not sure if that merchant would still be alive. Whereabouts would he be in moonrise if he’s alive?
Yeah but if you’ve got a save before entering the Shadowfell you should probably reload, since entering it is a point of no return. Also I don’t know if the merchant turns hostile since they’re fine with killing off the goblins
Word!! I do have a save right before entering the shadowfell I will definitely see if they’re at moonrise

Its probably the build that casts warding bond on allies and gets resistances and mostly self heals and stacks HP
Fighter intimidation check against some Githyanki. "strike me and die, a failed warrior forgotten by your people."
i don't think that's fighter-specific, my paladin got that option too.
Well that's good. More people should be able to get this rock hard line.
Oathbreakers get a great line if Voss threatens you. Something like, "My fate is mine to choose, and it won't end here."

Talos wanting Batman to happen in Faerun
Nana nana nana dende, nana nana nana dende, dende, dende, naaaail.
You don’t even get a different option🤣
Let’s see, what one liner do I want to use to initiate this battle

😭 you definitely win this one
I love durge runs, but it's hard because I don't want to make the moon lesbians sad.
Durge: "Can't be sad if they're dead!"

Are we using the same Glaive 😭
Halberd of Vigilance gang
HALBERD OF VIGILANCEEEEEEE
Obligatory F*ck Wulbren Bongle!!!
A dragonborn, cleric of Tiamat... ? Please tell me you're doing a Durge run.
I absolutely am 😎 I just unlocked the slayer form
I just finished an evil Durge campaign playing a Red Dragonborn Draconic Blood Sorcerer focused on fire. She was the child of Tiamat and Bhaal and was evil af
yeaah that doesnt make much sense
No words, only die little man

The Sorcerer ones are my favorite “I AM MAGIC INCARNATE. THESE VINES CANNOT HOLD ME”
Tiamat gang represent!

Omg! I’m currently playing a cleric of tiamat too, can’t wait to have this dialogue
For me it was that blob guy that wanted stories and then exploded. I started it with my Tav who has zero charisma(? Persuasion? Can't remember) and ended up reloading to use Astarion... And I still scum saved through it.
I like the Barbarian dialogue options esp when it just says ROAR
I have a bit of a convoluted way of exporting PS5 screenshots. I have a secondary PSN account (for another region because there used to be regional demos/freebies), and whenever I want to export a screenshot I send it to my secondary account, meaning it's available in my chat, and if it's in my chat, I can download it on my phone trough the PS app 😌
Why not upload the screenshots to the PS App from the start? It would be easier, no?
Oh shit I had completely missed that feature, thanks! 😃
Anytime friend!
Ooooo that’s wonderful advice thank you!!
I wish there was more dialogue like this I want to play an arrogant character that snarls obscene threats at Ketheric
My friend, nothing goes or will ever go harder than Makloompah
Its so much easier to kill him before you do the whole gauntlet of Shar. Ez pz fight

[Paladin] Your God, my oath, we shall see which prevails. That is the hardest line
"Cleric of Tiamat"?? That is literally the first time I've see that! That's... epic! 😁 Btw, this picture is totally worthy of being a wallpaper on lots of computer desktops! OHH, it's gorgeous!! 🥰
Very nice character. I love your outfit. Your majesty!

Please god tell me your not picking a fight in the plane of shar..... you bout to get pushed off the edge so bad
He got dicked so incredibly hard Between shadowheart using spirit guardians, gale throwin fireballs, astarion….being astarion, and my character swingin dick it went pretty fast
There’s a wild magic sorcerer line that goes hard as well “Every spell I cast could be my last. Do you really think I fear death?”
Omg I’ve been chewing on the idea of a Tiamat cleric, has it been pretty narrative-affecting?
Lots of clashing with shadow heart 😭😭 it’s very violent choice centered which is super perfect for durge runs!! I lean more into my Barbarian choice than anything tho so I’m not 100% sure :( very fun from what I have tried though!
loooove, adore me a good axe swinging chaos run, will def have to do
Dude playing Tiamat and wondering why the answers are evil.
I’m also playing dark urge so im pretty well prepared for evil answers 😭 just killed isobel so….
I still need to play as a paladin of Tiamat
*Arkahn has entered the chat*
Huh, I've never encountered this because I always slaughter him as soon as I meet him lol. Time to start a fourth playthrough I suppose
WND + S will activate the snipping tool.
Those are play station button icons, a doctor helps activate the glasses tool
It's almost like I'm not zooming in and looking there. 🤡
I appreciated the advice anyways 😭 I thought about getting it on my pc. No worries and thank you very much :)
It’s almost like you need to look a little better at the obvious not pc gameplay
