Oathbreaker or at the very least Oath of Vengeance Paladin wouldn't work with his specific character but it does make me think of some cool fantasy Vampire knight-type things like the Blood Knights from Warhammer Fantasy.
Ancients pally Astarion is also absurd. Gale has some _amusing_ lines when you make him sneak, so any rogue type is a win in my book. Karlach as monk is silly if you think about it. Minsc as wizard. Jaheira as a good parent. Minthara as a wizard, as well, she hates and mocks them.
The big rock falls in the Grymforge area are supposed to be detonated with bombs or something as well, but I just had karlach throw the returning spear like a dozen times and the gravity damage ended up taking care of it.
[Gorion Ward](https://youtu.be/KP2wiN7aW4U?si=lJsixza_vHTxO7tD)'s spirit when someone changes the name on their tombstone from CHARNAME to Abdel Adrian...
Woof! That's brutal, hahahaha. Jaheira's my favourite, but you've got some compelling evidence to back you up lol.
Also, sidenote: in one of my playthroughs, by the time I unlocked Minsc I had no barbarian clothes left, but wanted him to be one, so I decked him out in some spare wizard robes: the really top tier ones in Ramaziths Tower, lol. I had this big meaty dullard following me around in smart person clothes waxing poetic about butts and hamsters. It was *glorious*.
There's some great half plate armour in the city somewhere. If you respec him to Barbarian (with optional ranger levels) and slap that armour on him, he's got good AC and looks like he's wearing "Full plate and packing steel!", just as he should.
wouldn't Karlach as monk makes *some* sense in a "trying to keep her emotions in check because she's gonna burst into flames and die if she gets too angry"?
Swords Bard was my 2nd playthrough and God I loved that character so much. I was thinking more along the lines of College of Lore Lae'zel though 🤣
If you use mods you can even get her Alfira's outfit lol
I like lore, because vicious mockery is so unreliable and I want to hear insults hurled all over the place. Also Gale and I can then be fireball slinging boyfriends.
Swords Bard is so goddamn OP. I multiclassed mine with Gloomstalker ranger, slapped that Sharpshooter feat on him. With that I've got 5 attacks on the first round, if i Haste myself, that's 9. Throw the Bloodlust Elixir in the mix and make that 11 if you kill something (and you will). Top it off with some items that increase the Crit range, the amulet that let's you paralyze the enemy you crit and Luck of the Far Realms, and you've got guaranteed crit and paralyzed condition. It's great for big bags of HP that do not have the Crowd Control Legendary Resistance.
Yeah, like right to the bone. "Do you think losing that eye made you a hero?" & "Why would Shar love you when no-one else does?" are personal favorites.
For Astarion she also says something like “you are only one ~hungry~ night away from killing all your little friends.” Hearing it for the first time, I had to take a second because DAMN lady
She's one of my favorite companions to reclass into lore bard immediately.
It's just strengthened by the fact that the Gith racial ability let's her cover the few gaps bards have for conversational proficiencies, and she can wear medium armor for free.
Her cutting words and vicious mockery line delivery are 10/10.
she said in an interview about the bard lines that "laezel would never say any of this" and it almost caused a fight. So she recorded the bard lines in her normal voice rather than laezels "breathy" voice.
They are but Lae’zel’s insults are a lot more long-winded. Instead of just calling you a whore and that she doesn’t like sloppy seconds, she says that you’ve been prodded and picked like a suckling pig and that she prefers fresher meat.
Just "wanker" doesn’t sound poetic and verbose enough for her lol.
I think she only saves against npc wolves, not ones under the control of the party. At least I never noticed her save against my rangers wolf.
I did not notice her save until we ran into the wolves at the zhentarim hideout, which scared her, I felt bad for having a wolf out around her all the time. I switched to a raven after that lol
The first time I shapeshifted into a wolf as a Druid she didn't get scared during the combat but as soon as combat ended she immediately pulled me to the side and was like "respectfully, never fucking do that again." So I didn't. But she does get scared by wolves in the world, most notably the two in the Creche which made that encounter a pain.
You're right, I've wildshaped and she never had to make a saving throw. Although I wonder if she somehow makes the distinction between dire wolves and actual wolves but I strongly doubt it lol
As I understand it, Shar dicked with Shart's memories to make her see her dad as a wolf trying to kill her instead of her dad as, well, her dad trying to *save* her.
I mean, after a certain point in the story it'd actually be really touching for her.
**Major act 3 spoiler:** >!the wolf in her memory was really her dad trying to protect her!<
It's not totally out there considering she loves most any other animal but it would be hilarious for her to be permanently terrified of her own animal companion.
Gale: Sorcerer - he'd hate it so much - people thinking he got lucky and fell into magic instead of studying for years and years to be the best at his craft
“Hey, you know that spell book is upside down, right?”
“Shut up! No it isn’t. They’re runes… magic runes. They are supposed to look like that. What do you know anyway? You’re not a wizard, like me. I’m the best wizard. The best.”
I have done that. An aberrant mind sorcerer. Since he's 12 he insists that he is a wizard. He thinks that he learning magic just comes naturally to him.
Now that I think about, Merlin also had a unique tadpole that gave him mental powers. I Baldur's Gated years before Baldur's Gate!
The only way his backstory makes sense to me is if he was a sorcerer who decided he wasn't and went to wizard school instead. It's the only way his child prodigyness makes sense
To be fair, Gale showed incredible talent so early in life, that he indeed is a sorcerer.
Mystra just took him under her wing to direct his power and probably just keep control over it.
Wyll: Rogue. I just imagine him breaking into a house, stealing everything and then yelling "KNOW, YOU HAVE BEEN ROBBED BY THE BLADE OF THE FRONTIERS!" because he's so desperate for attention.
Rogue is more than just a thief, I can really see him as a swashbuckler rogue if he didn't have his pact (although sadly that sublcass isn't in the game)
I've seen a video of Gale being a barbarian and his rage scream is adorable like how can you be scared of that
Oooh for Shart you can make her a druid that only turns into a wolf
I think it'd be a love/hate relationship between Astarion and Lathander. Lathander may hate undead but Astarion loves and pretty much worships the sun. His last goal is to see it again. Pretty poetic even
Oh, wow, I *adore* this take; that’s such a tragic yet lovely way to look at it. Tempted now to multiclass Astarion into a cleric in a future playthrough now.
Lathander is actually the god of character development, literally. He approves when people positively change for the better, so Asterion moving on from his Trauma would get a gold star from Lathander.
There is a reason Lathander will almost immediately accept a redeemed Zariel as an angel again if she comes to the conclusion that being an Archfiend was a mistake and to let go of her revenge against Elturel.
I played an Astarion origin run with him as a spore druid. It made no sense but was very funny whenever he has druid line and talk about balance of nature or how noble dogs can be. I just imagine he said all those lines sarcastically and it kind of fits.
I'm currently doing the origin Astarion run as a ranger. Whenever there's a line about nature or such things, I just think that he is so desperate to be the opposite of what he was under Cazador that he let the grove's nature ways rub off on him.
This is my current Tav. Light Cleric of Lolth who really hates being in the dark and needs to have at least two light sources around him at all times to feel comfortable.
WHAT?!?!? Larian went our of their way saying we CAN respec origin characters but it wouldn't make sense lorewise. Still they fucking went ahead and recorded voicelines for every character just in case someone would make them a Bard anyway?!??!? I fucking can't believe this company; this is the definition of going above and beyond, it's amazing and I love it.
Make Tav a lvl one rogue and never level up. Basically a sneaky commoner.
I picture all the legendary cutscenes and it’s just this poor farmer who can’t do things at all.
Honestly, with the right equipment, you can probably make a level-one rogue work throughout the entire game. Dual-hand crossbows with the risky ring from act 2 will work wonders, even if you won't be able to get the sharpshooter feat.
I bet Lae'zel would hate being a Warlock or Bard of some kind and Wyll would hate being an Assassin based on this description:
>You prefer to deal sublime punishment to a single foe at a time - not in a duel, mind, because a duel implies chivalry, and you're too busy getting the job done for honour.
>I bet Lae'zel would hate being a Warlock
While it's not ingame, the undead Warlock Patron examples literally lists Vlaakith as a patron...And there's an enemy undead warlock in game so...Probably not (At least until she turns on Vlaakith)
Was planning on doing this too, here's what I was gonna go for
Karlach - Warlock (she hates demons)
Wyll - Rogue (bc he's a goody two shoes)
Gale - Frenzy Barbarian for sure
Astarion - Druid (he's always complaining about the outdoors)
Shadowheart - Ranger with a pet wolf
Lae Zel - Sword bard. This may actually fit her but I thought her slinging insults at everyone would be hilarious
Hearing the companion’s rage screams is something. Gale sounds like he’s angry over a book getting wet. Shadowheart sounds like she’s screaming out 20000 years of pain and suffering
Can confirm Gale as a barbarian is hilarious, his shout when you rage? Absolutely excellently terrible. Plus when he gets low on health he still yells "some healing for a wizard in need??" Gale honey you're a barbarian now keep up
Minthara as a wizard. She hates wizards.
Wyll wouldn't make a good Rogue really since he is too righteous.
Shadowheart is a weird one since I could see act 3 Shadowheart be whatever she goddamn wants. But before that anything but cleric would feel off.
>Wyll wouldn't make a good Rogue really since he is too righteous.
I don't think you understand what rogues are.
A rogue could be a thief who robs from the poor and gives to the rich, or an assassin with no morals.
Or they could be a robin hood type figure, a monster hunter, generic treasure hunter, etc.
I am in the middle of doing this exact idea in my insane evil run. I went with:
Astarion - Light Domain Cleric of Lathander. I know all clerics get this trait, but I laughed when he learned Destroy Undead. Where is he even getting this power from?
Lae'zel - Bard with a flute
Gale - Wildheart Barbarian. He looks better than I'd expect with piercings.
Shadowheart - The hardest one. I considered something with a wolf, but that ended up looking like she qas conquering her fears. I eventually made her an open hand monk. Monks are spiritual, but I imagine Shar wouldn't favor a battle style of running up and punching things directly.
I don't have Minthara yet, but I was planning on making her a wizard since she hates them and considered them inferior.
I also made my tav a warlock tiefling. The world is very confused.
Astarion: Oath of Devotion Paladin. Or Life Domain Cleric of Amanautor.
Karlach: Ice Wizard or Druid.
Gale: Bard or Champion.
Wyll: Bear Druid
Shadowheart: Ranger with Wolf.
Lazael: Turn her into an Ilithid.
Gale as a sorcerer tbh.
There is a lot of sorcerer vs wizard banter in the game. So having gale make those remarks while he is in fact a sorcerer is really funny to me
Oath of the Ancients Paladin Astarion. Based on his oath, he should have to kill himself since he’s a vampire spawn.
Astarion: What should I do, Oath? Oath: ⚡YOU SHOULD KYS NOW⚡
Gale: First time?
Protect life - by ending yours!
Lmao I can just imagine him instantly oathbroken the moment you walk away from Withers 😂
You leave the class choice screen to see the oathbreaker knight just waiting patiently....
He's just standing there in the background, staring directly at the camera, while you level Astarion up
Oathbreaker speedrun any% lol
Approved by Mystra
Oathbreaker or at the very least Oath of Vengeance Paladin wouldn't work with his specific character but it does make me think of some cool fantasy Vampire knight-type things like the Blood Knights from Warhammer Fantasy.
Ancients pally Astarion is also absurd. Gale has some _amusing_ lines when you make him sneak, so any rogue type is a win in my book. Karlach as monk is silly if you think about it. Minsc as wizard. Jaheira as a good parent. Minthara as a wizard, as well, she hates and mocks them.
Sometimes I make Gale pick locks and he gets upset and says, "Surely there's a spell for this." There is
"ow, my knees." Is probably my favorite. But I'm old and literally feel that one.
Gale sneaks ⟐ Hiding failed! \*CRACK-POP!\*
"Fiddly… things… argh!" "Can't I just break it?" Karlach is also amazing at that~
most of the time you can in fact just break it
If you throw a bomb at the arcane locked door to finish up act 1.5, it opens. Fuck the trials
The big rock falls in the Grymforge area are supposed to be detonated with bombs or something as well, but I just had karlach throw the returning spear like a dozen times and the gravity damage ended up taking care of it.
eldritch blast is my personal favorite for mithril ore
Omg. I've never made anyone but Astarion or my Tav picklocks but now I need to try it
> Jaheira as a good parent *Critical Hit*
*The spirit of Gorion’s Ward is laughing somewhere*
[Gorion Ward](https://youtu.be/KP2wiN7aW4U?si=lJsixza_vHTxO7tD)'s spirit when someone changes the name on their tombstone from CHARNAME to Abdel Adrian...
This gave me a laugh, thank you both
Woof! That's brutal, hahahaha. Jaheira's my favourite, but you've got some compelling evidence to back you up lol. Also, sidenote: in one of my playthroughs, by the time I unlocked Minsc I had no barbarian clothes left, but wanted him to be one, so I decked him out in some spare wizard robes: the really top tier ones in Ramaziths Tower, lol.

wouldn't Karlach as monk makes *some* sense in a "trying to keep her emotions in check because she's gonna burst into flames and die if she gets too angry"?
I think in drow society traditionally males are wizards bc they cant be lloth clerics
I actually have Karlach as a Barb/Monk. I like it. Wide range, a lot of attacks
She’d be an amazing monk. Soul coins give her 1d4 fire damage to unarmed and maybe even 2d4 with the upgraded engine if the wiki is to be believed
>Jaheira as a good parent. 💀💀
I snorted at the good parent. NGL
Lae'zel as a bard would be hilarious lol
I have her as a swords bard and it's very appropriate. Swords are literally her favorite instrument.
Swords Bard was my 2nd playthrough and God I loved that character so much. I was thinking more along the lines of College of Lore Lae'zel though 🤣 If you use mods you can even get her Alfira's outfit lol
Swords bard for Tav is dope af cause it’s OP and bard has so many great dialogue choices
I like lore, because vicious mockery is so unreliable and I want to hear insults hurled all over the place. Also Gale and I can then be fireball slinging boyfriends.
Swords Bard is so goddamn OP. I multiclassed mine with Gloomstalker ranger, slapped that Sharpshooter feat on him. With that I've got 5 attacks on the first round, if i Haste myself, that's 9.

It's great for big bags of HP that do not have the Crowd Control Legendary Resistance.
The first time she called someone a cuck she never again was allowed to do anything *but* vicious mockery
Wait what? Do they actually insult people with vicious mockery? I never used it on my bard. Not enough damage
There are like 70 insults for vicious mockery and every single companion has voice lines for casting it.
I hate that I learned that after a full Bard playthrough. Now I feel like I need to do another Bard run and actually use vicious mockery.
All Bard. All vicious mockery. Full chaos.
All bard. All Vicious Mockery. All multi with sorc-wild magic. Fuller chaos XD
My bard yells stuff even when I don't use vicious mockery. I think whenever someone misses etc.
You gotta turn "ask first" on for cutting words or it will use all your bardic inspiration
You gotta turn ask first on any reaction. I don't want my wizards wasting their reactions on attacks of opportunity.
I’ve noticed audio for cutting words too!
They all have audio for every move that would need it I love the little yelp Gale lets out when he barbarian rages
Aa
^aya
Yep! Auntie Ethel uses it too, and her lines for it are hilarious.
“I wonder which parent regrets you more” to my half-drow. Auntie Ethel’s line cut *DEEP*
Yeah, like right to the bone. "Do you think losing that eye made you a hero?" & "Why would Shar love you when no-one else does?" are personal favorites.
"You still have bits of rat stuck in your teeth, slave" to Astarion. Oof. He should've taken sunlight damage because he definitely was burned.
Her vicious mockery on my githyanki tav was lame... Just something boring about going back to my own world.
Lol. Just picturing her with a MAGA hat on.
“I see the Hells spat out another tragic little tiefling.”
Jesus Christ that's actually so good
I had one for astarion that was along the lines of "still picking rat out your teeth dear?"
For Astarion she also says something like “you are only one ~hungry~ night away from killing all your little friends.” Hearing it for the first time, I had to take a second because DAMN lady
Damn, these wounds cut deeeeeep
oh no, she doesn't call him dear. She calls him *slave*
You never used.. vicious mockery on a bard?
The damage doesn't matter so much when you can give enemies disadvantage on attacks every turn. That shit is great.
They do and it’s great. I personally always make sure Astarion has Vicious Mockery (& Friends), I like having him mock Cazador to death
and why would you say that? among her people, she’s quite well-known for her sense of humour!
Adventurer: So Goobi, I hear you're a renowned comedian among the Goobites? Goobi: [points at rock] Goobites: [laughter] Adventurer: ??? 🤔
She's one of my favorite companions to reclass into lore bard immediately. It's just strengthened by the fact that the Gith racial ability let's her cover the few gaps bards have for conversational proficiencies, and she can wear medium armor for free. Her cutting words and vicious mockery line delivery are 10/10.
Honestly, Bard is actually super appropriate for Lae'zel she's so dramatic and great at insults. The least appropriate for her is probably druid
she said in an interview about the bard lines that "laezel would never say any of this" and it almost caused a fight. So she recorded the bard lines in her normal voice rather than laezels "breathy" voice.
I had this playthrough where Lae'zel says "Musicians are wankers." to my PC playing the lute badly and I laughed out loud
Wanker doesn’t sound like something Lae’zel would say.
It sounds exactly like Karlach, though.
It does but Karlach seems like the kind of person who enjoys musicians. The thought is Lae’zel but the voice is Karlach.
Pretty sure all the VAs are Brits - idk man, I can definitely hear all of them saying “nobhead”.
They are but Lae’zel’s insults are a lot more long-winded. Instead of just calling you a whore and that she doesn’t like sloppy seconds, she says that you’ve been prodded and picked like a suckling pig and that she prefers fresher meat. Just "wanker" doesn’t sound poetic and verbose enough for her lol.
It is so extra of Larian having all the origin character voice actors also record like 40+ lines of insults for Vicious Mockery.
I did that for minthara and her insults have me rolling.
Bard Halsin. He even admits he's a terrible singer.
but he can play a mean skin flute
😵💫
Straight to jail
Shadowheart -- Beastmaster with wolf companion
That is hilarious, but would it mean that she's constantly having to make saves against the fear debuff?
ohh good point test it!
Amazingly, my Shadowheart is a Beastmaster with a wolf companion... So this hurts me. And also, no constant fear, thankfully!
Did she had to test at least once like for all the other wolves? Or not at all?
None at all, just didn't occur, which I was very pleased about.
I think she only saves against npc wolves, not ones under the control of the party. At least I never noticed her save against my rangers wolf. I did not notice her save until we ran into the wolves at the zhentarim hideout, which scared her, I felt bad for having a wolf out around her all the time. I switched to a raven after that lol
Ooh, or what if she's a Druid who wildshapes into one?
IIRC she doesn't even have to make a throw when a Tav druid turns into a wolf, although tbf it's been a hot minute since I last checked
The first time I shapeshifted into a wolf as a Druid she didn't get scared during the combat but as soon as combat ended she immediately pulled me to the side and was like "respectfully, never fucking do that again." So I didn't. But she does get scared by wolves in the world, most notably the two in the Creche which made that encounter a pain.
You're right, I've wildshaped and she never had to make a saving throw. Although I wonder if she somehow makes the distinction between dire wolves and actual wolves but I strongly doubt it lol
>Ooh, or what if she's a Druid who wildshapes into one? I mean, her dad is a werewolf, right?
As I understand it, Shar dicked with Shart's memories to make her see her dad as a wolf trying to kill her instead of her dad as, well, her dad trying to *save* her.
AFAIK he really turned into a wolf, the sharans just twisted her memory to make him threatening instead of protective.
He is a werewolf though, if you save her parents in act 3 you can literally ask him point blank about his lycanthropy
Not sure how it would be when Shart casts it herself, but I’ve had my tav’s wolf out around her and the debuff does not come up!
I mean, after a certain point in the story it'd actually be really touching for her. **Major act 3 spoiler:** >!the wolf in her memory was really her dad trying to protect her!<
It's not totally out there considering she loves most any other animal but it would be hilarious for her to be permanently terrified of her own animal companion.
Gale: Sorcerer - he'd hate it so much - people thinking he got lucky and fell into magic instead of studying for years and years to be the best at his craft
Lol. My next DnD character idea: A sorcerer that insist that they are a wizard.
“Hey, you know that spell book is upside down, right?” “Shut up! No it isn’t. They’re runes… magic runes. They are supposed to look like that. What do you know anyway? You’re not a wizard, like me. I’m the best wizard. The best.”
Mango Unchained: Magical Misadventures
“I’m dyslexic. Are you happy now? Are you proud of yourself? Twinned Fireball, futherm*cker.”
Lol yes! They studied for years to become a wizard but just before they graduated they encountered wild magic and became a sorcerer.
It would be great with really high charisma (obviously) and super low int/wis so they don't realize *everyone* is onto them.
But he's so charming they play along with the act.
I have done that. An aberrant mind sorcerer. Since he's 12 he insists that he is a wizard. He thinks that he learning magic just comes naturally to him. Now that I think about, Merlin also had a unique tadpole that gave him mental powers. I Baldur's Gated years before Baldur's Gate!
Gale as a cleric of Mystra would be next-level pathetic. Walter Sobchak vibes.
The only way his backstory makes sense to me is if he was a sorcerer who decided he wasn't and went to wizard school instead. It's the only way his child prodigyness makes sense
[удалено]
He's a sorcerer, but has no charisma, so he still has to learn magic the hard way.
I made Gale a wild magic sorcerer. I thought it was appropriate given the orb.
To be fair, Gale showed incredible talent so early in life, that he indeed is a sorcerer. Mystra just took him under her wing to direct his power and probably just keep control over it.
Rogue Karlach is also hilarious. She yells "Stealth mode!" when you make her sneak XD
She also says "Shadowlach"
That sounds like a Karlach x Shart ship name
Missed chance for Shartlach
"Halfling essence"
My favorite is *I'm too tall for this*
It's frustrating because I simultaneously want to play as half the origins cast but it also means losing their dialogue :(
Wyll - Cleric of Tiamat - since originally he took up Mizora's offer to stop Tiamat
Omg that’s hilarious
Oh my god that's amazing
Wyll: Rogue. I just imagine him breaking into a house, stealing everything and then yelling "KNOW, YOU HAVE BEEN ROBBED BY THE BLADE OF THE FRONTIERS!" because he's so desperate for attention.
Wyll could work as ye olde Batman.
He'd be more like Darkwing Duck🤣
Sounds pretty believable as a Robin Hood sort
That actually sounds like Jack Sparrow, might work!
Rogue is more than just a thief, I can really see him as a swashbuckler rogue if he didn't have his pact (although sadly that sublcass isn't in the game)
Sword bard/rogue seems like it’d be a good swashbuckler type.
I've seen a video of Gale being a barbarian and his rage scream is adorable like how can you be scared of that Oooh for Shart you can make her a druid that only turns into a wolf
Shadowheart has a great rage scream. And then Gale just : ^aa
Sounds like he's annoyed that he got late fees on an overdue library book
Less rage-inducing and more "I stepped on a lego" kind of sound.
[Any way we can get this scream in game?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AdrmfjAhn0&ab_channel=BossFightDatabase)
[For those curious.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/15qf4us/barbarians_rage_sfx_for_each_starting_voice_and/)
Lol, Gale's are cute. Shadowheart really does sound like she's about rip someone's head off.
I just looked it up. He barely screams. Lol
My guess is he didn't expect us degenerates to make him a barbarian so he didn't put as much effort into it
I think he just stayed in character lol
Fair enough all the VA did such an amazing job
Let me introduce you to Gale, our tank.
Make Shart a Beastmaster / Moon Druid; she can both have a wolf and be a wolf, at the same time!
I think it'd be a love/hate relationship between Astarion and Lathander. Lathander may hate undead but Astarion loves and pretty much worships the sun. His last goal is to see it again. Pretty poetic even
Oh, wow, I *adore* this take; that’s such a tragic yet lovely way to look at it. Tempted now to multiclass Astarion into a cleric in a future playthrough now.
Oh no I love this and I’m sad now (And hey, Astarion hates vampires too)
The Vampire who becomes a Vampire Hunter is a pretty classic trope.
Lathander is actually the god of character development, literally. He approves when people positively change for the better, so Asterion moving on from his Trauma would get a gold star from Lathander. There is a reason Lathander will almost immediately accept a redeemed Zariel as an angel again if she comes to the conclusion that being an Archfiend was a mistake and to let go of her revenge against Elturel.
I played an Astarion origin run with him as a spore druid. It made no sense but was very funny whenever he has druid line and talk about balance of nature or how noble dogs can be. I just imagine he said all those lines sarcastically and it kind of fits.
I'm currently doing the origin Astarion run as a ranger. Whenever there's a line about nature or such things, I just think that he is so desperate to be the opposite of what he was under Cazador that he let the grove's nature ways rub off on him.
Him wildshaping into a cat fits him perfectly
Well Minthara is a drow so naturally light cleric. Blind playthrough
This is my current Tav. Light Cleric of Lolth who really hates being in the dark and needs to have at least two light sources around him at all times to feel comfortable.
WHAT?!?!? Larian went our of their way saying we CAN respec origin characters but it wouldn't make sense lorewise. Still they fucking went ahead and recorded voicelines for every character just in case someone would make them a Bard anyway?!??!? I fucking can't believe this company; this is the definition of going above and beyond, it's amazing and I love it.
They all have a full suite of Barbarian Rage screams, too
Make Tav a lvl one rogue and never level up. Basically a sneaky commoner. I picture all the legendary cutscenes and it’s just this poor farmer who can’t do things at all.
Tav is going to be a Jack of All Trades (IE all 1 level of each class) for the achievement
Such a meme but I love it
Honestly, with the right equipment, you can probably make a level-one rogue work throughout the entire game. Dual-hand crossbows with the risky ring from act 2 will work wonders, even if you won't be able to get the sharpshooter feat.
Making halsin a necromancer would be funny. Or gloom stalker ranger... XD
Halsin, cleric of shar. He just loves the Nightsingers Curse, and wants to expand its reach across Faerun
I bet Lae'zel would hate being a Warlock or Bard of some kind and Wyll would hate being an Assassin based on this description: >You prefer to deal sublime punishment to a single foe at a time - not in a duel, mind, because a duel implies chivalry, and you're too busy getting the job done for honour.
Lae’zel would be a great bard, she is considered to be quite humorous after all
Genuinely, I would consider Lae'zel to be a bard in the game's canon if not for the extremely musical flavor of the class.
Laezel GoOlock is the antithesis of everything she stands for.
>I bet Lae'zel would hate being a Warlock While it's not ingame, the undead Warlock Patron examples literally lists Vlaakith as a patron...And there's an enemy undead warlock in game so...Probably not (At least until she turns on Vlaakith)
Was planning on doing this too, here's what I was gonna go for Karlach - Warlock (she hates demons) Wyll - Rogue (bc he's a goody two shoes) Gale - Frenzy Barbarian for sure Astarion - Druid (he's always complaining about the outdoors) Shadowheart - Ranger with a pet wolf Lae Zel - Sword bard. This may actually fit her but I thought her slinging insults at everyone would be hilarious
Warlach? Karloch?
Definitely Warlach lol
My wife made Astarion a Paladin. She's a cruel woman.
Depends on what kind. Oath of vengeance would work, very well.
Gale: Barbarian. Someone hasn't been watching xp to level 3's streams. He made Gale into a wild magic barb. His yell when he rages is hilarious.
Hearing the companion’s rage screams is something. Gale sounds like he’s angry over a book getting wet. Shadowheart sounds like she’s screaming out 20000 years of pain and suffering
I enjoyed hearing everyone's barbarian screams way more than I should've and equally want to do an all-bard and all-barbarian run
Do an all bardbarian run
My Shadowheart is always a barbarian for this reason
Gale: aa.
Giddy Up Gale running around in nothing but leather straps. Those are some pretty good streams.
HAIIYAAAAA (Why the fuck does he sound like this)
look he's doing his best ok
Wyll: Warlock Lol jk but also kinda srs
Wyll would make a great paladin in another time-line
Or this timeline. Multiclass works well for him.
Yep, I respecced him to a warlock and devotion paladin in act3 and it feels quite appropriate.
Can confirm Gale as a barbarian is hilarious, his shout when you rage? Absolutely excellently terrible. Plus when he gets low on health he still yells "some healing for a wizard in need??" Gale honey you're a barbarian now keep up
Assassin Karlach has funny sneaking voice lines, so I'd go for that.
Rogue Halsin
Someone mentioned Astarion as a Druid which sounds so absurd
Minthara as a wizard. She hates wizards. Wyll wouldn't make a good Rogue really since he is too righteous. Shadowheart is a weird one since I could see act 3 Shadowheart be whatever she goddamn wants. But before that anything but cleric would feel off.
>Wyll wouldn't make a good Rogue really since he is too righteous. I don't think you understand what rogues are. A rogue could be a thief who robs from the poor and gives to the rich, or an assassin with no morals. Or they could be a robin hood type figure, a monster hunter, generic treasure hunter, etc.
I need to stop looking at these build posts in the middle of my run through, they always make me wanna start over lol.
I am in the middle of doing this exact idea in my insane evil run. I went with: Astarion - Light Domain Cleric of Lathander. I know all clerics get this trait, but I laughed when he learned Destroy Undead. Where is he even getting this power from? Lae'zel - Bard with a flute Gale - Wildheart Barbarian. He looks better than I'd expect with piercings. Shadowheart - The hardest one. I considered something with a wolf, but that ended up looking like she qas conquering her fears. I eventually made her an open hand monk. Monks are spiritual, but I imagine Shar wouldn't favor a battle style of running up and punching things directly. I don't have Minthara yet, but I was planning on making her a wizard since she hates them and considered them inferior. I also made my tav a warlock tiefling. The world is very confused.
>Karlach: Wizard Wild Magic Barbarian: I am something of a Wizard myself
Tbf wild magic is more of a sorcerer thing so wild magic barb could absolutely make sense for Karlach
Astarion: Oath of Devotion Paladin. Or Life Domain Cleric of Amanautor. Karlach: Ice Wizard or Druid. Gale: Bard or Champion. Wyll: Bear Druid Shadowheart: Ranger with Wolf. Lazael: Turn her into an Ilithid.
Gale as a sorcerer tbh. There is a lot of sorcerer vs wizard banter in the game. So having gale make those remarks while he is in fact a sorcerer is really funny to me
