Yes, multi-classing is disabled on explorer difficulty but you can still multi-class. All you need to do is up the difficulty when you level up, then drop it back down afterward. Unfortunately, most reviewers never mention this option.

How to make an ultimate buff character that just sits in camp and buffs your party: You have to keep in mind that you can only use long term buffs with this character. That means spells which "last until long rest" or spells that dont have any duration condition. Concentration spells wont work because they expire quickly in open world. You can do this already at character level 4. Get a druid or cleric (either hire one from Withers or use another wisdom companion). Respec him with 1 level into druid and 3 levels into life cleric. The druid at level one gives you goodberries which are 4 free health potions that you can use anytime. He also gives you longstrider which is a flat movement increase buff. The cleric at level 3 gives you AID which is a +5 HP buff until long rest. Also at this level he can cast Protection from Poison which is a fantastic anti-poison buff. If you have to fight in caves or against bandits prioritise this buff. As your level increases your buff-master will get more spell slots so he can cast more buffs but most of the time you will go with Aid and Longstrider. At level 2 druid he can learn Natural Recovery (Circle of the Land druid) which allows him to recover 1 spell slot per day. Alternatively if you want to have ALL the buffs you can hire two helpers from Withers and make one of them a cleric and one a druid and use them both to cast all the spells mentioned above. Just takes more fiddling with adding and removing characters from party. The "until long rest" buffs will stay on your characters even if the buff-master is not in your party. Enjoy going into battle better prepared now!

[@flipxd]

great video, but one note. Shadowheart should be casting her cantrip sacred flame, it's a cantrip that scales in damage based on character level (not class level) and it benefits from the casting modifier (wis). Using a shortbow is only better if it provides an %accuracy advantage early game, but after level 5 she should be using the 2 dice from sacred flame for better DPS and a better chance to hit since the saving throw scales off her primary casting slot.

[@taznkid1730]

It is a Dex saving throw though. You should pair it with Produce Flame, which, despite tooltip, DOES scale with level, and targets AC.

[@marvind8809]

Also the the type, radiant damage, is something few enemies have resistances to 👌

[@Comicsluvr]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought to store bodies for Necromancy use!

[@fo0liner1985]

warding bond, even if you send/leave the caster at camp. will damage and eventually kill them. it's still nice to have some hirelings in camp for, but u better have a revive at the ready when you return.

The mask fo the shapeshifter only shows in camp if you buy the Digital deluxe version afaik, you should mention this?

[@Emo_Squirtle]

Tip: you can steal the rune powder barrel! Have someone talk to the gnome and character select to a different character and have them sneak behind and take the barrel. You can probably still get a vial as well. Use with caution.

[@testickles8834]

Ypu don't even have to do that. Just u group and sneak in, she has a huge blindspot on her right side and you just take it. Then kill her for the small flask.

Question on PS5: Can you play Split Screen Coop still with 60 FPS Performance Mode? Since the game supposed to merge into Full Screen during Combat, Story Cutscenes and other places? Also does it dynamically automatically merges like DoS2?

[@PolarBear_ed]

Is that how the combat and cutscenes supposed to be on PS5? It's always split on PC. Unless the other player listens to your converstation. Also unlike DoS2 the combat screen will perma split.

Down is examine, select gives more details on spells/actions/pitions and L3 to move cursor around freely...that's the most important ones ;) (maybe square to open interaction menus on objects but that should be known by act3 I'm sure)

Is there a setting to put bodies in your chest, because it won’t let me do it?

Hot tip if you play on explorer difficultly you can still pick a subclass just before you lvl up switch to balanced difficultly and pick a sub class at lvl 3 some classes you can pick a subclass at lvl 1 when you create a character and then swap back to explorer difficultly after you pick subclass you will keep all skills for that sub class but still play at a difficultly that is right for you cause this game can be real hard for beginners......have fun thank me latter

[@zero11010]

@@DieFallRPG it’s not a matter of what is for me or what may be useful for someone somewhere. There’s clearly an arbitrary definition for the word advanced. Multiclass is an on screen UI element. It’s visible every single time every character gains a level. It’s been a part of dungeons and dragons for decades (5E is a decade old and this was common in 4E and 3.5). It’s also a thing that MOST basic starter level guides cover. It’s also a thing most specific build guides cover. I’m not insulting you. I’m not insulting your audience. If multiclass is something that you’re considering advanced for this guide, then this guide isn’t for me. Which is totally fine. No one is being mocked. No one is being insulted.

[@DieFallRPG]

@zero11010 Not everyone playing this game plays d&d. Not everyone playing the game has played CRPGs. These videos are generally done from the perspective of what would be advanced for someone that had *ZERO* experience before this game. This is what om asked to do when I'm contracted for these videos. You would be considered an experienced and an *advanced* player. Meaning you SHOULD know everything in the video already. Which in sure you do. Enjoy the game
