Baldur's Gate 3 - Some Changes I Would Make to Each Class

Hi all! Here's a little bonus video for you where I discuss various changes I would make to buff up some classes and subclasses. Enjoy!
When discussing Paladin, I forgot about Aura of Courage. I would instead change Aura of Devotion to also grant immunity to Blinded in addition to it's usual effect.

Now we just gotta mod it in

[@bossthesleepyboi8557]

On trickery domain, I remember that there was a mod that lets you swap with your invoke duplicity, one of the other massive trickery domain problems is that their features are concentration when their domain spells are, for the most part, concentration and also much better then their class abilities. Another one is that they get divine strike instead of potent spellcasting which would be better for them. TLDR: Trickery domain has better concentration spells then its actual class abilities so buff those abilities, divine strike isn’t that good for them (especially since it’s poison damage), potent spellcasting is better for them, let us swap locations with our invoke duplicity too.

[@TVMAN1997]

Trickery domain is so much in 5e

[@Jichmn141]

I'm really hoping that the ability to start as an oathbreaker gets added in the next patch. If the theme is going to be around evil playthroughs starting as a "bad guy" makes sense to me

[@kingofgrim4761]

I wish there was legitimate bonuses to aura of hate, isn’t it almost entirely worthless without exploits?

[@anonymous99632]

Came for the title, stayed for the ideas, liked for the dancer of Ellistraee.

[@ThatReplyGuy]

Give Trickery Cleric Sneak Attack, but only while hidden or unseen by enemies. Also, make the special Mage Hand from Arcane Trickster able to cast your spells from its position instead of yours.

[@lauradeneault3525]

Warlock should be able to summon a different creature as they level up. Level 12, you should be able to summon a cambion instead of the imp. Also, level 3 pact of the tome abilities suck. Even just giving the player more cantrips to use would have better in combat. For wizard, I don't care much for abilities, but the spells of your chosen school should become harder to resist as you level up. It is not normal that the chances of hitting or charm an enemy are the same as you level up.

[@kingofgrim4761]

Wizard subclasses are OP. You can either make Magic missile broken, become unkillable, or use portent dice to cheese early game. Necromancy isn’t too bad either

[@lauradeneault3525]

@@kingofgrim4761 if you have to use gear to be strong it means your magic is not really becoming stronger. If a farmer finds a staff of conjuration, he has not become a wizard. He's just using a magical item. (Seen in Skyrim I think loll)

[@kingofgrim4761]

@@lauradeneault3525 this would only apply to magic missile, but dismissing upgrading gear is a little silly. Abjuration can be nigh unkillable without gear, and portent is just RNG manip

[@alicelufenia3648]

There's also some oathbreaker dialogue options that specify which oath you’ve broken (ie., [Broken Oath of Vengeance]). I would make it so you still pick an oath, and then a Paladin-only choice of whether or not to be Oath Broken. Yes, that means you start as a broken oath paladin (no channel oath or oath spells!) until you speak to the Oathbreaker Knight. You'd probably have to include a note Not to start as oath broken if you're new, otherwise new players may struggle with the system, like maybe they don't know to look for the knight. Still, it would allow what you want. I definitely would like this too so my Durge can wake up on the nautiloid with a broken oath 😁

[@Llama2237]

On the Bolstering magic, it's *supposed* to be, (in tabletop that is) You can bolster Proficiency bonus times per long rest, and can restore spells slots once per person per long rest with a use of bolstering magic.

[@javiersuarezrivas8161]

Draconic features especially the breath its so underperforming that i prefer they just let you choose an aditional cantrip instead. That could be fix if only you can use it on a bonus acction or if you can turn your breath into a 1d4 or a 1d6 elemental damage for your weapon attack, like, you spit fire on your weapon then you have a cheeto flamming hot sword, even if it only last 3 turns just for the vibes i buy it.

[@ragnarrock757]

I wish I was a clever modder and could make the "HoboClassFixes" mod for you. I expect it would be quite a project though and maybe somethings aren't doable but I bet a lot are. As you can guess I like your ideas.

[@redyeti2468]

eldritch knight war magic should be lvl 3 and at lvl 7 it would be improved war magic which actually allows one extra attack using this ability

[@gequetscht1031]

Did I miss Fighters? Or did he forget?

[@SeanConneZombie]

Would love this changes to go in, hopefully someone adds a mod to do that :-) i think a nice thing to add though is just a higher lvl cap. Even if the classes stop getting new stuff past 12, being able to add in 2-4 more lvls of a different class would make things so much more fun 😁 (hence why there's been mods for it, lol)

[@jonnyso1]

I don't know if that's how it is on actuall D&D rules or homebrewed but I remember Matt used to do something similar with Invoke duplicity on critical role, enemies would need to make a check to know if they would be fooled by that or not, it also wouldn't just go away when hit, if I remember correctly. EDIT: Make Mage Hand actually grab things !

[@TVMAN1997]

I am so torn on Invoke Duplicity cause on one hand it is really useful that it buffs all allies and debuffs all enemies In that 10 ft But not being able to move it, it having hp, and it not being able to cast spells from it is awful But in the right battles (mostly melee) its still pretty useful You just have to know when to use it.

[@chaosrainX]

I think arcane tricksters should be able to use sneak attack with spells

[@legacy_42]

move shadow strike from level 11 to level 9. because it sucks that I can't multiclass into an assassin without losing that, well, cool action

[@eduardoserpa1682]

Love most of these ideas. Specially Valor Bard getting some Paladin/Cleric-like bonuses like a non-Divine Smite, heavy armor, some kind of aura and/or a defensive fighting style. Anything to make it feel distinct from the more offensive-oriented Swords Bard. You can already get most of that from a few levels in Paladin or Fighter, but there's still a benefit to not having to.

[@zimattack9994]

If i chould change one race it would be dragonborn if only they had access to the fizban's treasury of dragons then they wouldn't be a just ok race

[@user-mu8dm4rk7g]

Their looks and lore are more than enough to me But I agree. Them having some actual racial features would be better.

[@NewAge374]

What would you like to include exactly?

[@romeech9375]

would you be able to make a Alan Wake build? a writer who fights shadows with flashlights. i wonder how that would look in bg3

[@Kwehliam]

I still wish that Warlock's Pact of the Tome let the warlock choose the cantrips they want..

[@tevisstier9044]

I would have loved to have had conquest paladin over vengeance.

[@NaveSutlef]

Am I crazy or did you not cover Fighter? Champion definitely needs a buff, I'm thinking basically give them savage attacker for free, (and let it stack) so they could really be the best at crit builds.

[@HoboZone]

Oh God dammit I forgot Fighter.

[@lauradeneault3525]

Hey, I don't know if you did it already, but could you do a Raphael themed build? Thank you ;-)

[@angerkun]

When did the update the warlock class to be more like it is in dnd?

[@CoffeeBeerHeals]

The title reads a bit weird, might want to move the "I" before "Would"

[@HoboZone]

Whoops, that was a typo lol

[@shoulderdeepcloud3398]

remove aura of hate, change it, honestly just do something with it, anything is better than what it is now
