[@exquisitemeat5845]

Watching these helps in making the wait for the release somewhat bearable.

[@Azazar]

Exactly

[@dredgmo]

You've got that right.

[@kyle1806]

[@faszkivanveletek]

i feel you brah

[@ERBaruin]

True... I already know this stuff, but here i am

[@thimblesedge8150]

Every time i watch one of these I get sold on whichever class it's covering

[@kn0bhe4d]

I'm watching these videos as they're released knowing full well that I'll once again go through the entire series once more when the game actually releases.

[@simonnilsson8375]

I won’t since Im already decided to go into Archfay. I’m going to eat men, you can’t stop me.

[@lazerrhino]

I'm watching these even though I own every 5e D&D book and already know most of the info.

[@briankelly1240]

Warning: making rogue in BG3 may lead to forgetting to use the camp as often. I did that and missed a lot of dialogue. Rogues don't need to refresh nearly as much as other classes.

[@monochromaticspider]

They should have fixed that problem in the release version. But yes, it was a major PITA in EA that triggers kept overwriting each other since only one dialogue trigger could be active for the next return to camp.

[@-Monad-]

@@monochromaticspider I don't quite understand, are you saying that Larian had planned on fixing that issue, or simply that they should have fixed it (but didn't)?

[@monochromaticspider]

@@-Monad- It is a known issue in the early access version that only one camp dialogue trigger could be active, but all indications from the people who went to the last PFH event in Ghent suggest Larian have fixed this issue in the release version of the game.

[@nova997]

​@815TypeSirius that's his point. He's reminding people to do that

[@cooller8888]

nice tip, but how about talking just generally from now on... how often should I take the camp thingy no matter what?.. you see, we don't have to min-max everything, do we? Let's just try to generalize the issue and try to solve it somewhat like.... after every 4th fight if possible... :D

[@Xynth25]

A two-weapon fighting Barbarian/Thief is one of the coolest subclasses out there, especially with the extra bonus action in this game. Conan, the archetypical barbarian, was a stealthy, cunning warrior. Can have a *ton* of fun with that concept

[@tangledfish]

True strike is such a trap of a cantrip. You sacrifice your only action for the turn to set up a sneak attack for the next turn? Meanwhile stealth is a bonus action and lets you set up a sneak attack for the same turn. Likewise dash is a bonus action and lets you get to a flanking position for a sneak attack on an enemy fighting another character. Oh and about the arcane trickster level 9 ability, don't forget you can cast spells from scrolls. Arcane trickster will be quite interesting, depending on what spell scroll crafting looks like. Not sure Gale will be too happy about being chained to a crafting bench in camp though.

[@ziwuri]

I saw someone say that hide will be an action in the full release. Also, apparently any character can use spell scrolls.

[@VikCachat]

​@@ziwuriif they have changed hide to an action, that should mean they have added hide to the rogues cunning action feature as it is with the table top rules. Hide should still be the easiest way of generating advantage, much better than true strike arguably the worst cantrip in the game, followed by spare the dying.

[@tangledfish]

@@ziwuri hide being a full action does change a lot of combat cheese, so that's probably a good thing. And yes anyone can cast from scrolls, but the point is arcane tricksters impose disadvantage on saves when casting from stealth. So while their spell list caps out at level 2 in the game, they will hopefully be able to use scrolls of much more potent spells from stealth for devastating results.

[@ziwuri]

@@VikCachat I could argue about cunning action hide, but spare the dying, the worst cantrip? Are you kidding me?

[@VikCachat]

Spare the dying requires touch range and all it does it makes the target creature stable, but still unconscious at 0 hit points. So since you have to move to the dying character anyway why not just use a healing potion it actually wakes them up and then they can do something. Alternatively healing word is a bonus action ranged spell. The only situation where spare the dying useful is when you don't have a spell slot or healing potion available. But consider how rare that situation is in practice, it will almost never be cast so its a waste of a cantrip pick.

[@xdean816]

This has been the first series in a long time I was excitedly waiting for everyday

[@jaysonburke6839]

Frenzy Barbarian 5: Extra attack and can attack as a bonus action Thief Rogue 3: Gets a second bonus action and can Dash as a bonus action By level 8 you'll be able to Attack, Extra Attack, Bonus Attack, Bonus Attack with Advantage using Reckless Attack using a giant 2H Weapon. This is what Fighters dream about at level 20; you do it 12 levels earlier. Or you could use your first Bonus Action to Rage, your second Bonus Action to Dash 35 feet, and still make two attacks. You can also make this a Dex Barb with a Longbow and land sneak attack damage. Best of all you can still get to Barb 8 / Rogue 4 and not miss a single ASI or Feat.

[@ziwuri]

that's fucked up ...what if you went half-orc, champion fighter, great weapon fighting for huge crit damage as well?

[@nickguarino7592]

This doesn’t work. It’s been tested in early access. Reckless attack can only be used once per turn. You can check this out by using the Helmet of Grit to get another bonus action. Still a decent combo since it lets you dash+reckless attack, or rage and then reckless attack. Or just reckless attack and reckless throw. But no, you can’t reckless attack twice. Cheers.

[@ziwuri]

@@nickguarino7592 The way it's worded makes me think you're supposed to attack with the "reckless attack" ability once and then the rest of your normal attacks will still have advantage until your next turn.

[@jaysonburke6839]

@@nickguarino7592 So Reckless Attack is "Gain advantage on all of your attacks and attacks against you also have advantage." Did you mean to say "Frenzied Strike: Attack as a Bonus Action" is only once per turn?

[@monochromaticspider]

@@nickguarino7592 Thief rogues get a second bonus action and you can use that for a separate off hand attack if you duel wield. So technically you should be able to get off both the two regular level 5 barbarian attacks, the thief second bonus action attack, and the berserker reckless attack bonus action, unless I'm overlooking something.

[@FaolanHart]

I think they're pretty great beginner classes also. Both my first western RPG (Neverwinter Nights) & first tabletop experience was as a Rogue. They tend to have more inherent skills than a Fighter or Barbarian when it comes to rolling outside of combat, they can play with most players tendency to be a bit chaotic, they teach tactics without it being over the top & they can dabble in magic easier. Without it being overwhelming.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

In divinity they definitely weren't a beginner class. Underwhelming until later.

[@FaolanHart]

@@ItIsYouAreNotYour Not really found much of a use for Astarion in EA outside of his lockpicking. So I could see the same here. But Rogue is not a class I have played in BG3 yet so I don't know.

[@schmecklin377]

​@@FaolanHartwhat? Astarions sneak attacks are mad strong.

[@NotSoFast71]

The thief/rogue character is always my go-to character in these types of games. Astarion has the backstory I am most looking forward to. So obviously I will be starting out with him as my main.

[@garchomowner]

Iove the little class fantasy/ lore segment the most about these series of videos.

[@isaacorwhatever4329]

Just wanted to say thanks for these videos, even though I already know 5e very intimately. I never got around to playing the early access, but I'm still very excited, and these videos have been great to watch as part of my morning routine.

[@furiousbeast5484]

I get giddy when I see these videos pop up! Thanks Mort for all your work!

[@mateussilva9477]

Love the Magic card art in the tumbnail of the video, really gorgeous.

[@Misoandricegamer]

Thanks for the video, loved it! Looking forward to a Rogue build guide sometime after release. My absolutely favorite class!

[@sabrina0013]

I was really thinking about running a rogue last night, and couldn't find your video on them. Lo and behold, here it is! Thank you so much, Mort.

[@kaidorade1317]

I played a Rogue in Crown of Solasta and had a fun time. These videos are incredibly helpful! I’ll most likely be watching them over again once the game releases in order to help me make a decision on Class. Ha ha

[@chromatic91]

Been waiting on this! Thank you!

[@CharlesBurleigh]

I've been enjoying your videos leading up to the release of BG3. I just joined. I always rolled a Wood Elf Rogue in tabletop D&D back in the day, but I'm really intrigued by the Dark Urge character and the Monk class. So Rogue might have to be my 2nd playthrough! 😊

[@Rileys887]

Thank you. I was going to be a bard and multi class into rogue, but now I think I'll do it the other way around to get the better stuff in the character creation.

[@Saucysulli]

Love watching these videos every morning with my breakfast! also is helping ease the excitement for bg3 lol

[@fiyamage]

Looking forward to multi classing a Beast Master Ranger and an Assassin Rogue.

[@Dezofmari]

Yay this is the one i was looking forward to seeing.

[@benjaminwaite5970]

From what I've heard playing the dark urge as a rogue should have good synergy as the dark urge comes with an item that give's stealth on kill

[@KoenigNord]

Sounds sweet, I’d go for Monk though. Bare hand kills and such.

[@benjaminwaite5970]

@KoenigNord I've heard from Fextralife that they house ruled the Monk to improve it but as it's only available at launch might have to wait to see who it stacks up. Maybe for my 2nd play through, I'm keen on Paladin, personally.

[@jjbudinski8486]

My first run is going to be an open hand monk run, mostly just for getting through the game once. My second run is going to be more of an exploration run, and I think the arcane trickster will excel at that- upgraded mage hand, find familiar, plus all the B&E and I'll grab the Lucky feat for checks. I was considering a halfling, but man having a gnome that can speak with animals will open up a lot as well.

[@Slie1988]

Love these videos, much better than some others that are claiming build guides when full game isn't even out yet. Your overviews are great compared!

[@stevequincy388]

My favorite class in D&D. Probably not the strongest class by any stretch, but fun as hell to play sneaking around looking for sneak attacks.

[@mlj3347]

I find exploiting the sneak attack/flanking damage bonuses onto an enemy with dual rogues (Astarion+OC) is a great way to amp up single target damage.

[@subaru246]

Congratulations on the 200K subs, awesome job mate. Hugs

[@Osma777]

Back in 3e, I had a mapmaker rogue. Made money diving in dungeons, sure, but made just as much making and selling hand-drawn maps of the wilds (Skill: profession - mapmaker). In 5th edition, and something I'm going to try with BG3, I had a Monk/Rogue. A few levels to get cunning action, increases to sneak attack and expertise, and the rest in monk. For pen and paper, I was an inquisitive who was able to get advantage for the entire fight with a bonus action (finding weak-spots). However, with my monk levels I started getting heavily into brawling and grapples. Since BG3 doesn't have grapple mechanics, I plan on gaining expertise in Athletics and shoving everyone off cliffs.

[@gd_xl]

i love the rogue / soldier backstory combo

[@MouseDestruction]

Been loving arcane trickster Astarion with my warlock and an eldritch knight. Leave grease and chromatic orb puddles everywhere, and fog/darkness spells, with some mobility spells like longstride and jump. Also good target damage with the warlock spells and having a fighter + rogue. Its nice that Astarion, Shadowheart and Tav all have darkvision. Think you could learn disguise self on all 4 members of that team as well which could be fun to do a stealth or deception game.

[@bakuiel1901]

In D&D over the years my favorite class went from Fighter to Rogue to Bard to Ranger. Rogue are great skill monkeys and my favorite class in DDO

[@nintom]

finally info on the rogue 😊

[@drzoidbergmd3200]

I'm loving these videos but every time i think I've decided what class to play, i watch one of these and change my mind. Now i want a rogue/barbarian. Last week it was a druid/barbarian

[@hjalmarthehelmetman]

You and WolfheartFPS (why he has first person shooter in his name is a question as difficult as why are we here) are making me burn to start playing the game 1 hour a day, I got a 6 month old boy.

[@motivateddad]

The funniest thing is WolfheartFPS mostly covers RPGs.

[@xuzadem]

Was waiting on this message one

[@Taranchule]

Breakin' the Law, Breakin' the Law... Y'know, I don't think I've ever properly played a Rogue. I mean, there's always one in the party (both in tabletop and video games), and they're always useful. Indeed, with the prevalence of traps in old school D&D, they were almost as mandatory as a healer. But I don't think I've ever played one as my main.

[@dilsoncamacho4100]

I hope rogue/barbarian works properly, but I'm not sure it will. The main reason both classes work together on 5e is because the finesse rule says you "CAN use dexterity to attack", the sneak attack says "you have to attack with a ranged weapon or melee weapon with the finesse property" and barbarians rage (and reckless attack) says "you have to attack with a melee weapon using strength". The rules interpretation is that you can use a finesse weapon with strength and benefit from both

[@MortismalGaming]

We won't know for sure until launch, though the BG3 sneak attack doesn't require finesse atm, but again until launch there's no telling

[@alecbetz1611]

This whole time I've been prepping my bard so I could charm my way through the game and pass lots of skill checks but hearing the rogue can do these AS WELL as actually doing damage, I may have been converted. I was worried the bard would get boring just being the support character for the most part

[@1norwood1]

Paladin + Rogue is an idea too you can add smite damage to sneak attack.

[@fearrection4465]

Conan the Barbarian definitely had level dips in rogue.

[@AndersonClips]

Been waiting for rogue

[@GmanGSW]

Definitely contemplating the "Gloom Stassin" (Levels: 8-9 / 3-4). May do a straight playthrough as a Gloom Stalker Ranger. We'll see...

[@Jasta85]

I'm really curious to see what they do with Assassin, because that's a pretty underused class in tabletop (its rules, such as is disguise feature, just don't work well i the majority of games). But it's definitely appealing to try in this setting.

[@Sterage1984]

This is by far the most OP class atm. Unless they plan on fixing enemy AI upon release you can solo 'almost' any encounter with a rogue. Hide whole party away from sight, take Astarion - hide - sneak attack - hide bonus action - end turn - sneak attack - hide bonus action - rinse+repeat. As long as the enemy don't see you on the end turn they just stand there taking sneak attack after sneak attack. Helps in some of the more tricky fights like the area underneath blighted village.

[@grey_wind]

Gloom Stalker/Assassin, or assassin/gloom sounds like it would be really fun. I also love the IDEA of a Warlock/Rogue, but not sure how that would play out practically lol.

[@EpicFobert]

You'd probably wanna do 8 Gloom/4 Assassin for the extra attack Gloom would get that assassin doesn't. But bigger sneak attacks are also decent so ig it's more what you prefer lol

[@grey_wind]

@@EpicFobert In all likelihood I will restart 50 times before I make up my mind lol. But I do like that idea, so I might just use your suggestion to make it easier on myself. Thank you!

[@latebreakfast8911]

Would love to play a cowardly rogue as my second playthrough as a guy who tries his best to avoid violence and combat using all the skills and stealth (and my brain). Would be interesting to push my limits as well as checking out some hidden outcomes Larian had prepared for us. For example, I'm curious to see what happens if you don't kill the Hag and let her do the eye thing. So many NPCs one can leave alive and see if they make a return further down the storyline.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

Rogue is always fun. Me I like Arcane Trickster the best since stealth/magic hybrids are my favorite hybrid to play these days.

[@jarrodbright5231]

Barbarian Rogue multiclass makes perfect sense from a roleplaying perspective. Do you remember the movei Scorpion King and the character Matthias played by Dwayne Johnson? Barbarian Rogue multi-class right there. It's also a very powerful class combination if you choose the Thief subclass in BG3 because a Barbarian will love having extra bonus actions (particularly Berserkers who can use these for extra attacks) as they can Rage and still use a bonus action to jump or use a Cunning Dash to get into melee quickly on the same turn. 3 levels of Rogue are also easy to dip for since levels 10-12 don't really give the Barbarian much benefit.

[@weabootrash5891]

Been playing through the Pathfinder games again in preparation for the release of BG3, I’m damn excited, haven’t been this hyped in a long time! What sort of rogue archetype would fit Astarian best, I wonder? In the EA I did arcane trickster due to him being a vampire and elf, but his attitude and general demeanor would fit assassin well…

[@kbar4462]

I love playing Rogue, but it's a lot more tactical in positioning and keeping advantage than what some people might be familiar with in other games. I've seen other games where Rogue is just high crit glass cannon, which isnt necessarily the best way to play in this game imo. That said, i think it's also a great multiclass option

[@NeverKilledHillock]

Movement and tactical planning is acutally broken on rogue. If you know what to do you can literally kill all act 1 bosses/encounters with a lvl 2 rogue solo...

[@NeverKilledHillock]

@kenshijin1127 chill buddy. I actually love how stealth for the rogue works, that's why I cleared the game solo as a rogue on level 2, just for the roleplay being a lone-wolf-assassin.

[@bobxbaker]

there is a thing i'm considering doing as a rogue thief and that's having a lot of strength ontop of having a lot of dexterity, reason is because you do get an extra bonus action and also rogue necessitate the need for movement, and what strength does is let you shove better which is a bonus action so you could shove 2 enemies off a cliff for example and if you don't have strength it's more likely you will just fail to shove anything, so in some cases for example if you are standing on a high ground and some enemies tries to reach you you could just push them off the cliff you're standing on. the other thing you do get from strength is jump distance which could be really beneficial to a rogue who wants to traverse the battlefield jumping across larger gaps or up a cliff otherwise you would need to maybe run around the entire battlefield to get to that high ground otherwise which might have a ton of enemies in the way or make it really hard to reach. also because you do get 2 bonus actions you can jump twice and with that you could possibly outrun an enemy by jumping up two cliffs or up a cliff and across a gap or across 2 gaps as the enemy most likely can only jump once. however having high strength makes you sacrifice other stats so you might not want to do that but i think it depends on your playstyle and what other members you have in your party, because perception or deception or persuasion or invistigation or something else could really be beneficial aswell or if not downright necessary. but just functionally as the only class/subclass that gets an extra bonus action just having more strength lets you just get more use out of it. thoughts?

[@GrantPlays547]

This is a great game!

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

I was actually going to suggest an idea Mort, of "My top 5/7/X classes in games" Like: - Bloodrager from Pathfinder WotR - Necro from D2 - Cipher from Pillars of Eternity 1/2 - Going full Intelligence in Disco Elysium was very fun. - And Temple Guardian from Sacred 2, I always was really wacky and unique?

[@nathandanner4030]

I'm planning on Maining a Rogue when the game launches.

[@ThobyWan]

think assassin duelclass with the monk subclass way of the shadow will be fun, with the dark urge origin

[@ludovictiengou5014]

Thanks for the tip in multiclassing. I'm found of rogue characters but always found them a bit feeble. I remembered quite well my first Baldur's gate 1 and 2 assassin. What a pain in the a.. extremily difficult to play in the end and not fun at all.

[@Sairento-kun]

Another good multiclass is shadowmonk, to be able to tp and assassinate easly important targets and then come back to the shadows (eventually throw some daggers xD). I have now problem between Assassin/ Shadow Monk or Gloomstalker/Assassin/Fighter xD

[@VoteJesusNow]

I really love rogue in Baldor's gate, as I must play cleric, I think I will need to multiclass rogue just because I love the playstyle. Normally in 5 e i dont multiclass though. Cleric, rogue is classic for me in older rulesets though. As I really like Shadowheart I might let her be pure cleric, and just take a minimal number of cleric levels

[@marieltr]

- I'm not a thief, I'm a treasure hunter! - Some popular rogue

[@galerion505]

Im planning on a Drow assassin with the Dark Urge origin. Murderhobo turned up to 11.

[@PiSiCaN]

My first play will be drow gloom assasin and maybe some fighter lvls to get action surge

[@rickcornelissen3466]

Your videos make it even harder to pick a class😂

[@SFDStudios]

I pray they add the soulknife subclass..most unique rogue subclass in my opinion

[@ramonnnnnnnn]

nice!

[@Cosinejoe]

My go to is much like a peacekeeper the assassin for the religious circle of whatever table top town my table starts in

[@johnnythedark3090]

Assassin with oath of vengeance is awesome - smite, auto crit, 2h sword sneak attack with advantage. It's better then barbarian/rogue

[@kemixanu3253]

im doing a dex char rogue and its very very fun

[@cardassa]

Rogues have always been a tricky class to use in CRPGs in my opinion. Their skills at sniffing out traps, hidden areas and lockpicking are invaluable to a party but largely end up being a waste of space during melee combat. By the time things line up in their favor to do massive damage, my MC and other fighters have already carved them into bloody stumps and moved on to the next target. They are good for taking out the random straggler or as bait to lure enemies into an ambush from time to time but I find them more competent in combat with a bow. Although at that point I lose the benefit of a bloodhound sniffing out traps and alarms as that requires them to be in the forefront rather than the back.

[@devv197]

Loving this series as someone who has never played DnD. Is there a video explaining all the terms already?

[@lazerrhino]

Maybe not specifically for baldurs gate but there might be a video for these terms anyways for the tabletop. But also I can answer any currently you have questions on.

[@liamcage7208]

"...give you resistance to falling damage which is a little more Impactful". Lol, hmmm mixed message, haha.

[@ThomasPaine01]

Every good party has its good ole Rogue. 💯

[@angelocano6041]

barbarian + rogue + Conan. makes perfect sense to me :)

[@zzirSnipzz1]

Hope the Assassin sub class is as good as the Thief and arcane tickster needs something new

[@theowraight3223]

The barbarian multiclass just became insane, in 5e it sucked because of the attributes requirement but now it is godly. I'm not sure on the wording in BG, but in 5e, the rogue's uncanny dodge stacks with Barbarian rage resistance which makes you into a god tank. Not only that you can have insane Armour class as well with the ability to invest fully in dex and con (you could go the strength route for 2 handed weapons but I don't think its worth it TBH) and wield a shield and rapier, gaining a 19 AC as a barbarian (10 + dex + con from Barbarian) along with quartering most of your damage. On top of this is constant advantage on demand for sneak attack. Expertise being able to turn you into the best grappler in the game (expertise + advantage). All of this is on top of the Thief+Frenzy combination of death.

[@souluss]

My plan is to play lawful aristocrat fencer (rogue 1 -> fighter 5 -> rogue+). Battle master perks support rogue in many ways, even though some cool ones are missing. Rogue skills represent extensive education. However, I'm worried about one thing. In tabletop and Solasta, if you have multiple attacks, any first hit would qualify as a sneak attacks. In BG3 they switched sneak attack into a skill, so I assume I can't combine it with second fighter attack at all?

[@GutoGerbase]

Theoretically, the Reckless attack from the Barbarian should only work with STR based attacks (I already though about Rogue/Barbarian multiclass combination on the tabletop 😂)

[@MortismalGaming]

In the tabletop version, finesse uses dex or str, you get to choose which one, it's possible to use a finesse weapon with STR so it works because sneak attack in tabletop only specifies finesse not that you have to use dex for it. The exact implementation in game has yet to be seen though.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Since Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't have a human DM at the helm, those playing an Assassin Rogue should try to start EVERY combat with an assassination. Depending on what they allow for an Arcane Trickster's Legerdemain you could get up to all kinds of mischief. Specifically passing a Sleight of Hand Check against a target's Perception will allow you to plant or steal an item worn or carried by the target without being noticed. E.g. in a crowd you can pick pockets 30' away, invisibly.

[@BaronVonHaggis]

Thank god i've got Jagged Alliance 3 to tide me over till this hits.

[@Raoul9753]

Mobility is king, and that means the thieve rogue is the king of kings xD Double bonus action means you can always position yourself with disengage and dash, or you can stealth for advantage, attack, and stealth again to avoid attack, or if you start a turn in stealth attack, dash away and hide again, if you carry a candle, you can always dip your weapon... Double bonus action is so good

[@Lutasiren]

or stop doing all that mental gymnastics, just get 2 hand-crossbows and do sneak attack+2 offhand attacks

Was sneak attack changed to work with all weapons (rather than just ranged and finesse weapons)? Or was that never an official rule?

You mention the barb/rogue multiclass, which I was planning on playing. However I noticed Sneak attack and Reckless attack are separate actions so I'm unsure if the two of them will be able to be combined?

If I recall correctly they said that sneak attack is going to be applied similiarly to a reaction

I don't really understand how the Assassin is more combat oriented than the Thief? Is it because their special skills are more focused on heavy damage, while the Thief's extra action could be used for something that is non-combat?

But MAN, it's been INCREDIBLY disappointing to have to manually select sneak attacks to apply that damage, and half the time it seems like typical flanking doesn't actually give you Sneak Attack potential (i wonder if this is a bug for me?). But more than anything, having to remember every single time to switch the type of attack to benefit from the rogue's KEY combat move is so disheartening. I don't remember ever having to manually do this in literally any other crpg. It was always just passively applied. I desperately hope someone mods this out so it passively applies whenever it can in combat. Its just such a bizarre choice to make it a separate attack entirely and it makes rogue feel less fun at its class fantasy core.
