Palace of Ice DLC [Solasta] Which Race Do I Choose?

[@bazyl3357]

I've been playing Solasta with unfinished business DLC and the sorcerer with that DLC is the strongest striker in the game if you pickup some certain feats: spell sniper ( warlock ) to pick up eldritch blast and double it's range, eldritch adept to pick up agonizing blast invocation, potent spell caster to add cha bonus to cantrips, which stacks with agonizing blast. Then you also pick up the powerful spell metamagic, which adds one more dice to any spell you cast for 1 sorcery point. 6d10+30 eldritch blasts that cost 1 sorcery point each. Having disintegrate as your cantrip basically, and the rest of the spells can be utility like shield, counter spell, misty step, twinned haste and stuff.

Thanks for the info. Cheers!

I have been finding gnome wizard to be really good. Shadow gnome allows you to become proficient in a ton of stuff with like stealth and crafting. Or rock gnome with spy background you can craft with proficiency like 5 different things right away.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Yeah, Gnomes are the way to go for casters for sure! Cheers!

[@AlWoRa68]

The Rock Gnome was never meant to have DEX +1 but to have CON +1. That error was corrected with the first hot fix of the POI DLC and so the Rock Gome now has +1 CON.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Yeah, glad they changed that for sure! I was very confused lol. Cheers!

Sylvan elf makes an excellent monk as well

[@VaniverseGaming]

Good point! I cannot believe I did not mention them. Cheers!

[@erigclapton8717]

for melee focused character dark vision isn't really necessary as long one of your caster cast light spell cantrip on your armor,the spell last for 1 hour and didn't required concentration

[@VaniverseGaming]

I agree, but is nice not to waste a turn on light spell. Cheers!

[@AlWoRa68]

​@@VaniverseGamingyou don't waist a turn in battle, if you cast light out of battle, while you're exploring.

Darkvision ring isn’t attunement anymore so it’s much less of a hassle than it used to be.

[@sebastianstark8517]

I get the attunement system and why it's there, but really wish it was limited to one attuned item per slot. I find it annoying that I always have way more items that require attunement than I can use at one time.

[@VaniverseGaming]

I do not disagree. I feel they need remove attunement on more items so you can utilize more legendary items! Cheers!

A Dragonborn Sorceror with Draconic ancestry gets potentially 2 resistances. Say--- Gold Dragonborn with Green Draconic ancestry gives resistance to fire AND poison.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Funny, one f my builds that I have a video on is a Dragonborn Path if Claw Barbarian. 9 DR is so much fun. Cheers!

[@morghoulmutilera2996]

my favorite race are the dwarves..they are so good in so many classes ..even those who are not "best in slot" "cookie cutter" ...a dwarf wizard for example ...i always at least one dwarf in party ..nd in palace of ice they got even more usefull....May Durin bless us

[@VaniverseGaming]

Amen! Cheers!

[@cole9799]

I could take 4 Sylvan Elves and be just fine! absolute best race IMO, +1 athletic, extra speed and Proficient with meaningful weapons

[@VaniverseGaming]

To each their own. Cheers!

[@erigclapton8717]

with dwarf heavy armor training does its mean i can have medium encumbrance without penalty since the penalty is -2 moving speed?

[@VaniverseGaming]

Correct, the penalties of Heavy Armor do not apply to them. Cheers!

[@erigclapton8717]

there is 3 ancestry that doesn't have dark vision human, dragonborn and island halfling

[@VaniverseGaming]

That is correct. Cheers!

[@whitmanft]

can u import ur level 12 player along w/ their upgraded weapons to the DLC palace of ice ?

[@VaniverseGaming]

Yes. Cheers

[@morghoulmutilera2996]

you ve said at the past that u dont like sorcs that much....i prefer wizards too (specialy the court mage) but the sorcs twin spell can litteraly brake the game...i recently made a 2 draconic sorcs2hoodloom rogue grp just to test my theory on twin haste twin invisibility and its absolutely BROKEN...at fights that i can prepare its not even a chalenge at highest dificulty..but even in ambushes or fights that happen before you can buff ur grp is still extremely powerful. u can always twin haste your hoodlooms and twin invisibility your sorcs...or mix this as u like

[@VaniverseGaming]

Thanks for the comment, this is good information. Old habits die hard I guess. I love twin spell as I think that and some of the 5E subclasses make sorcs great. In Solasta I think the subclasses are lacking, and not being able to multiclass hurts my want to play a sorc. I always liked the Druid or Wizard since you seem to have a spell for everything, but with a Sorc you lose that variety. I just do not know if meta magic makes up for it from a fun standpoint. If I am giving up spells I might as well play a Warlock lol. Cheers!

[@morghoulmutilera2996]

@@VaniverseGaming The reason why this works is the fact that its a video game with some patterns that you can abuse a way or another...and the fact that you have certain knowledge over the campain...if this was real dnd ...it wouldnt probably work...Also the game gives you access to many items and consumables to fill the gaps your party may have..but i agree that the best grps are those who have the most possible solutions for every ocasion

[@VaniverseGaming]

I agree 100% Cheers!
