Higher level spells and the ability to learn spells. 3 spells are important to the build. Sunbeam, globe of invulnerability, and summon diva. Having the sunbeam spell allows you to concentrate on it as opposed to the blood of lathander, allowing you to cast sunbeam in succession. Globe of invulnerability explains itself. And summon diva because I wont be 11 levels in cleric.. I'm missing out on a extra attack, but I feel those 3 spells makes up for it.

There's a weird mechanic around your default "spellcasting ability" that might be a handicap when running this build. You probably want to change the levelling order because you are going to get stuck with your low Wisdom score setting the save DCs for all the effects from your gear (instead of Charisma, which you would want.) Whenever you use magic items, scrolls, or powers not tied to a class (like illithid powers, or Arabella's Shadow Entangle, etc.) the game chooses the spellcasting ability from the "last new" class added to your character. So, when you level in the order of Paladin --> Cleric, or Paladin --> Cleric --> Paladin, the "last new" class is Cleric, and Wisdom is the the "default" SA. You should start with at least one level of Cleric, or alternatively, flip your WIS and CHA scores.

WELL SHIT! That's super gamey, but I really like that - I thought it was the LAST class, but I thought that class-specific spells were bound to the class SA, that's really fucking cool man. Thank you! I'll adjust some future builds with that in mind!
@jtirri884210 ай бұрын
@@italianspartacus Sorry, to be clear: You were right about the Class SA part. All of your spells and powers that come from a class do use the SA from that respective class. Paladin spells use CHA, and Cleric spells use WIS, as you'd expect... It's the spells and powers that do *not* come from any class, like all your gear effects, that have to use the "last new class" SA. The game does need a way to pick one SA from all your classes for these things - it is just not obvious at first how it chooses.

Nice build, I have struggled a lot with this combination. Cleric and Paladin seem like a match made in heaven in terms of RP, but in truth, they kinda step on each other's toes. They share similar spells on their respective spell lists, but one casts with Wisdom and the other casts with Charisma. Unless you're going Nature Cleric for Shillelagh, you're going to be spread thin between STR, CON, WIS, and CHA. The truth of the matter is that both classes would really like to have more levels in themselves, rather than pairing with one another. If I were in the mindset of fully optimizing a Cleric/Paladin, I'd probably go 1 War Cleric / 11 Paladin for War Priest attacks + Improved Divine Smite. But there is nothing wrong with playing the game with a focus on roleplay. I do agree with the 7/5 split Again this build is definitely a RP win! Spirit Guardians at Cleric 5 is good, Cleric spell list is good in general, Channel Divinity adds a new dimension to the build, and taking 7 Paladin gives you an aura. You could go 7 Cleric / 5 Paladin for Extra Attack and more cleric spellcasting, but that loses Aura of Protection. Ironically Aura of Hate and Spirit Guardians pair well together. Outside of RP my most significant con is on the side of game mechanics there is not a lot of synergy between the 2 classes. It is a very MAD (Multiple Attribute/Ability Dependent) build. I'd personally focus on STR and CHA, with WIS 3rd. If you went with 7 Cleric / 5 Paladin, swap the priority on CHA and WIS. You want to dump Dex (put into WIS) since you can wear Heavy Armor but then you going last very oftendo not want to act last. Could get Alert but that costs you a feat. Taking DEX mean you WIS is low. Lower WIS than pure Cleric means preparing fewer Cleric spells and Cleric spell save DC will be lower.

There's reasons to do it and reasons not to do it. For example Knowledge can get you bonuses on skills. If you really want to do some skills it can let you have them. Life can get disciple of life. If you intend to use healing spells its good. Light cleric can get you warding flare. Makes you harder to hit. Nature domain - really doesn't do anything for you. You are better off multiclassing druid Tempest can get wrath of the storm. Can do damage back when enemies attack you. War cleric can get you war priest for more attacks.😢

I used this build for a "good side" shadowheart build. I ended up doing a bunch of testing and figured that the infernal rapier, that you can get from wyll's story if you go down the route of being a good guy, scales with the highest spellcasting modifier. So I ended up going 8 stregnth, 12 dex, 14 con, 12 int, 16 wisdom, 14 charisma. The charisma still gives me +2 on all saves with aura of protection, but then I was able to scale my healing spells and my melee damage off of wisdom by using ASI from there. She was a crazy support character and definitely one of my favorite act 3 builds on higher difficulties.

Great build and I agree, Paladin may be the most powerful and diverse class. I do have a challenge for you though, and maybe Paladin is a good start class. I know you need to get Withers for this to work, so the goal is to get him ASAP. Once you do, change your party to 1 single class. So a party of 4 Paladins with different builds to round out the party. I think maybe a limit of a minimum of 8 levels in the single class before (if) you multiclass and do a play-through like this. I like the idea of trying this for all classes.

Always a good build from Sparty! I had this idea too for Shadowheart after some spoiler-y events, go 5 light cleric, 6 ancients pally, and 1 sorc - you go 8-10-15-8-16-16 on stats and use the STR pot that sets it to 21, you get shield and tempestuous from storm sorc when you need to cast a spell and disengage, you get a fifth level spell slot for upcasting smite or spirit guardians, and with cha at 16 you get +3 saves and good conversation skills (though really she'd be decent at a lot skill-wise). You start pally for heavy armor and first feat you take resilient with the point in con to give you con, wis, and cha saves, and then second feat you take +2 wis. You can forgo the sorc level and grab pally 7 for the half damage on spells, but you lose the 5th and a 4th level spell slot. You can also tweak this to 6 war cleric/5 vengeance pally/1 storm sorc for similar, but more melee offensive minded. War cleric gives you some very useful low level spells (shield of faith, spiritual weapon, spirit guardians) for free, and the +10 to hit on your swing or someone else's, 2x per short rest, for that hit you absolutely need to have. Note that sometimes the bonus cleric attack is wonky with your extra attacks, but blowing your bonus action on something else will generally help (potion, jump, etc). Gear-wise you get the adamantine splint and shield, which gives reeling when your hit for 3 turns, and reeling for 2 turns if they miss. This is not QUITE as strong as the radiant orb chest in the underdark, imo, because you can cause that and its an aoe, but against a single target big bad its great. Side note on the STR pot: at the start, once you reach the druid grove, auntie will sell 3x 21 str elixirs, AND after every long rest this will refresh. You can stock up on extras of these and walk out of A1 with 15+, especially because you don't really need them until you start putting Shadowheart in melee. And that's before you start getting materials to manufacture these with the halfling hireling you can spec as transmutation/medicine check passer to make a bunch more to last the game. This does eat the elixir slot but you can satisfy the MAD requirements this way and I think is the best use for a tanky character to add some damage when able.

Cast all your buffs (longstrider, aid, Poison resist, FOM, Death ward, bond) and then replace him with whichever party member you dropped to add him. Takes a few minutes after every long rest, but your full party gets buffed without using your offensive spells... and if you have summons, can buff them too.

The main reason for life domain that I think you missed -- the base +6 healing to all your casts makes casting heals at lower level *FAR* more efficient. It's like a 3x+ average healing on your level 1 heals. In your demonstration here, you showed it on the highest level heal you could cast, but where it really shines is making all those level 1 spell slots worth a damn.

If you aren’t going to use attack roll/saving throw spells from cleric like guiding bolt, the 12 wisdom is enough. You just won’t be able to slot many cleric buff spells until you get your cleric level up a bit. If you want to melee and use paladin spells I’d take charisma to 16 or 17 at the start and put the rest into CON and STR while dumping INT entirely and deal with having lower DEX around 10-14 depending on whether I wanted heavy or medium armor. Warlock gets the stacked extra attack and Hunger of Hadar, so you’d probably do a bit more damage reliably with the stacked extra attacks without worrying about War Priest Charges, but both can be good. Spirit Guardians and other saving throw spells probably won’t hit very hard unless you swap Charisma for higher Wisdom, but paladin typically wants to conserve spell slots for smite.

Sorry to sound dumb here…you said Smite was a concentration spell, I don’t get why it is or how it could be a problem? You cast it to hit an enemy and there’s no lingering damage over time? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks
@italianspartacus10 ай бұрын
I think I misspoke - there are specific smites that are like that, NOT DIvine Smite - the Paladin specific Smite ability. BUT Searing Smite, for example, does persistent damage every turn AFTER you do the Smite. Branding Smite brands them so that they can't go invisible as long as you have the concentration up. Does that help?! :)

Love all your BG3 content! I think you’re the only person I’ve ever heard put the concise info upfront and then did a deep dive on the topic in each video. I’m looking for the deep dive, so thank you.

Offense only paladin? Adding sorcerer for that?
@Fr0st19895 ай бұрын
you can dump charisma as a paladin cleric because paladins really only want the smites, which scale off weapon damage rather than casting ability. so dump charisma and put those points into wisdom for the cleric abilities
@MeldinX2Ай бұрын
Yep it's best to do this for min maxing unless you use other paladin spells. Unless you really like to be great in conversations with persuasion ect.

Is this build viable for tactician and honor mode?
@italianspartacus10 ай бұрын
definitely!! just be careful in honor mode because of the no save, but you'll be VERY tanky, VERY early. i'd say use a 2h weapon until maybe 5 or 7, then respec and switch to sword/shield :)

@christinehede7578 bummer but bless is a good spell. Helps with landing attacks and making saving throws. Effectively its + 2 attack and + 2 to saves for all affected. If you use it on the character who cast it concentration is easier to keep.

You need to spec Shadowheart alittle more into concentration and that issue will be mostly gone, believe me.

@@barcster2003 Not really you can just take 2 levels in paladin for the smite and then just rest cleric. Dump charisma and put everything on Wisdom/Strenght and then the gloves that gives dex so you get decent initiative. So you can dump Dex also. You take Paladin for the smite the other spells you just use cleric for.
