So will always get a like from me. Love the videos, keep up the amazing and informative content.

Paladin/Druid is such a good Jaheira multiclass. I've been running it in my all Spore Druid HM run as a much more damage focused 5 Paladin/7 Druid split that uses Flame Blade combined with Pyroquickness Hat and Belm to get a bunch of Flame Blade attacks in, but I love this more support focused take on it too!
@lenam3177 ай бұрын
How does belm interact with flameblade ? Flame blade is summon to your offhand if dual weild belm with another weapon right ?
@veryfallible7 ай бұрын
@lenam317 if you're already dual wielding, yes. But if you're using only Belm in your mainhand and you cast Flame Blade, Belm moves to your offhand and Flame Blade becomes your main hand weapon. Belm's unique bonus action causes it to mimic a main hand strike, so you effectively get three Flame Blade swings in this way. By the time you get Belm you have enough 2nd and 4th level spell slots that you can always cast Flame Blade on your first turn in any fight that matters, so the fact that you're only wielding Belm to start off the fight isn't a big problem.

I've been watching all your videos recently. I only just started playing Baldurs Gate and I'm not much of a meta-gamer in TTRPGs or videogames but your content has helped me to understand how the game works (and the meta-game of DnD, as despite playing for years my group is very casual.) I've heard you say you read every comment, so if you do read this I'd like to request that you consider making a build guide for a Monk that, similarly to this Jaheira build, doesn't steal the spotlight. Monk just bc my SO is playing Paladin and I wanted to be an acolyte of her order, so doesn't have to be monoclassed (I imagine a mono-monk has slim hopes for being anything other than a striker). Thanks again for the effort you put into your videos, the world always needs more joy and fun 😄

One fun thing I found to do with Spore Druids is to use the Mind Flayer power "Shield of Thralls" on them - It gives one thing 10 bonus hitpoints, but when those bonus hitpoints expire it does a DC 15 (INT) aoe Stun. So you can turn your sporebois and stuff into another strategic tool. Which isn't bad since it refreshes on short rests, and you might be surprised how many things don't have great INT saves. And as a bonus, during that round they are stunned they AUTOMATICALLY fail strength and dex saving throws, which opens up all kinds of options. The stun only lasts for a turn but that's still enough to capitalize on!

All spore druids should consider equipping the Armor of the Sporekeeper (i think it's called) as the haste spore cloud is completely bonkers. 2 turns of the haste buff for all party memebers who walk through the cloud and no lethargic when it ends is probably the single best sypport ability in the game.

Great build... You mentioned using the halo of spores to break healing potions on the ground near allies. I just confirmed the game treats that the same as any other heal action, so the buffs from Hellrider's Pride and Volo's ring are applied to the ally. This means you can use your reaction every turn to buff an ally or two without spending spell slots. If you keep Volo at camp and pickpocket him regularly, the supply of potions is almost endless and you can also use alchemy, etc.

I love these! We can never have enough Jaheira builds. Just disappointed at the Spores choice, it feels too out-of-lore for me. How about a lore-friendly AND honour mode Jaheira? I'd love to see how you approach a Jaheira who can only multi-class into: - Fighter (Battle Master only) - Druid (Circle of the Land only) - Paladin (Ancients only) AND will always dual wield schimitars, allowed to occasionally switch to a club&staff. I'm even OK with giving her the dex gloves!

I'm not sure if vital conduit boots is necessarily a bug.

@Cephalopocalypse7 ай бұрын
It's possible! That's not how it works in tabletop, and temp hit points usually can't be restored by any means, but it might be that they decided to house rule spore druid for some reason. I think it's more likely just an artifact of how they coded it, but you never know!

Im currently using this build on my Jaheira in honour mode. I just did the fight to save Minsc, being very careful as I frequently messed up before with getting him knocked out instead of dead and obviously I can't savescum around this in honour mode. After succeeding however Jaheira somehow broke her oath 😂 I think I might have had her kill one of the cultists that was knocked out basically to waist her turn since I was worried the extra necrotic damage might make the non-lethal attack fail. But the thought of Jaheira breaking her oath by knocking Minsc unconscious made me crack up.

I'm on my 1st playthrough with a plan of War Cleric 1, Wizard 1, and Spore Druid 10 in that order, though I'm currently character level 6 in Act 1. Are the spore clouds created by Spreading Spores flammable or dispellable (apart from losing all your temp HP)? I ask this because in Divinity Original Sin 2 poison clouds could be ignited with fire spells to cause a chain reaction explosion for additional damage. Imagine using your bonus action to spawn a spore cloud, detonate it with a Fireball spell as your action, then hit a burning target with a Hail of Spores reaction to trigger another explosion.

What's your opinion on armor of the sporekeeper? I think the bonus action to create the haste surface is insane (specially with summons). Aside from that bonus action I think is not super strong but equiping it for a hard fight to trviliaze it seems very good.
@Cephalopocalypse7 ай бұрын
It's definitely a great pick! If you don't have another source of haste it's extremely good, and +1 DC is always a relevant passive. This build might suffer a little more from low base AC than other spore druid builds since you want to be up in the mix, but it's still very much worth using

I like this build a lor for Wyll, actually, for quite a few reasons, the first is that I tend to want to play the warlock spellblade multiclasses on Tav and that leaves Wyll a bit redundant if left in his build (or forces him into a sorlock build, which isn't bad but feels kinda off for Wyll) While this does admittedly take him out of warlock, that's fine for me because 1) It's D&D and the flavor as written is a suggestion at best, Mizora could totally give Wyll nature-themed powers if she wanted. 2) While a straight paladin would fit Wyll quite well, so does this build. Like after breaking free from Mizora's pact, it absolutely feels like Wyll could have learned the ways of the druid from Halzin or (more likely) Jaheira and 3) It lets Wyll keep his spellblade style even if it is a different flavor. YMMV of course but it definitely works for me. Also because you reassign the human skill prof with mods real easily, especially with the official mod support, there is your perception from race (or alternatively, start as Druid, get perception from class and then get sleight of hand from race)
