[@R_o_o_k_i_n_g_t_o_n]

hey outta curiostity, im thinking of doing a multiple multiclass build either going with lvl 6 to lvl 7 shadow monk/ lvl 3 to 4 thief/ and lvl 2 to 3 fighter with the idea being the extra bonus action passive from the thief and the action surge ability from the fighter paired with the sheer movement of a shadow monk plus the benefit of advantage after using shadow step which seems to be really amazing mobility. if not that tho i was also considering going for assassin instead of thief and gloam stalker instead of fighter and leaning into the stealth side of it especially since gloam stalker fits the theme pretty nicely too and with 3 levels into each assassin gloam stalker, i feel like i would be able to do a hell of a lot when it comes to sneak attacks and crit rushes.... thing is of course i dont really know which i should go for with rn im thinking thief/ fighter would be easier for a noob like me to use when it came to actual combat but especially since i think it would be fun to run just me and shadowheart mostly cause shes plot relavent but also cause she is my favorite companion aside from karlach who i might have tag along too at some point, the stealth choice is proly the far better one to choose since earlier on lvling it all up can be focus'd on monk wihtout worry and even once i start getting to taking on the harder enemies, it wont be too big a issue cause by that point i would start to be getting my steal options really opened up to me even more meaning those big fights cant be dealt with with the opness of stealth in virtually all rpg games....

Did you not notice? Clicking race, class, stats on origin chars allows us to change in example what you mention about Astarion. It is limited, compared to self-made chars, but you COULD focus DEX with CON 12 on our lil vampire p*rn starlet. 🤔 Excuse me now, gotta test my dark urge forest gnome druid... 🤣

[@Earwinfirwat]

I really liked the idea of a rogue, but was struggling to have fun with the class. Turns out I wasn’t using my cunning actions properly. I’ve never played D&D so these combat systems are completely new to me. I really appreciate this guide. I think I will be able to enjoy my class now! ❤️

[@robertfaulkner1824]

Yeah and thief get TWO bonus actions. It’s great. Combine with wood elf race and long stride ritual spell. I think you can move 115ft on one turn. Even as halfling and no spell I was able to out run my Druid who was trapped in a lower level to get down and around to a locked door to let her out when the boss was chasing her. We’ve had some epic fights but most of the best were when I played rogue. I’m probably gonna take my ranger into rogue (thief) after level 5.

[@baddiegaming758]

Bro thief with double action point and double hand crossbow make me feel like van helsin somehow

Huge bonus to ranged rogues, dual wielding hand crossbows let you make ranged attacks with your bonus action. If you take thief, you can get three attacks per turn to get crazy damage (especially with sharpshooter!)

Hilarious. Assassin is literally pointless when its only selling point is more dmg yet thief dps outperforms assassin by a landslide

[@coltizz]

If you like assassin theme I would highly recommend you to go ranger gloomstalker combined with the assassin. It let’s you basically always start combat and you get en extra sneak attack as well as en extra attack. This becomes incredibly strong. Paired with the back that gives you invisibility when you killed a target “Dark Urge” let’s you play Meele rouge and still get off a lot of sneak attacks. Cheers !

[@darinsingleton3553]

If you equip Astarion ( or any character, one presumes ) with the club of Hill Giant Strength from the Arcane Tower, they automatically get 15 Strength; even when you are using a ranged weapon. This comes in handy for jumping distance on the battlefield, and for carrying capacity, or .. melee attacks .. obviously. Anyway, I always have it on my Recon units for the mobility benefits, etc.

[@cagdas1990]

would be more of an off-hand thing for the buff I guess, right? If I remember correctly, the damage on that club is pretty bad

[@zombiesmaster9036]

@@cagdas1990yy yhh

[@stevebuckley7788]

I think taking a single level as a Fighter then swapping to Rogue(Thief) is meta. You can take 2 weapon fighting so you do Dexterity bonus on off-hand attacks plus use all weapon/armor types and also have second wind for some healing. Most boots, gloves, helmets and shields don't incur disadvantage on stealth. Sneaky trick I have used in all the previous BG games is to stealth around in light armor then once behind a target equip full plate armor and a shield then backstab.

[@slugshotgun]

I'm 25 hours into the game and I'm still in act 1. I can't stress enough how ranged builds make the game much easier to play, at least in early game.

[@ericberthold4347]

My main character is a drow rogue thief. The extra bonus action is just to good, though i opted for charisma as my second main stat so he would also be the face of the party. Once I hit lvl 7 and got evasion i dipped into warlock for the devils site invocation. With Wyil having the same devil's sight and Karlach using a ring that prevents blindness my team runs in and throws down some darkness spells and just stomps. Add in Shadow heart in the middle of the darkness with spirit guardians and cure wounds and your unstoppable. Also with the extra bonus action dual wielding in both melee and ranged, using hand crossbows, to me is a must.

[@dungeonsanddioramas8068]

I’ve found mage hand quite useful for a few things: tossing hard to reach smaller chests over to me to unlock, pushing enemies off cliffs, and tossing items into the battlefield (like bombs set on the ground ahead of time),

[@12markinlove12]

Arcane trickster gains spells that happen to give you advantage, so your spells that usually can only be cast once per fight, can now be cast more than once, and they usually deal more damage than your standard attacks, in addition, you could pick up some cc, like sleep, sleep allows you to pick pocket a humanoid enemy, and while they're asleep, even if you fail the check, they won't try and report you, fog can also be used on friendly targets to rob chests which are heavily guarded, which is useful when you're trying to rob something or someone that's very well protected, or trying to gain a vantage point that's just out of your reach. I preferably think arcane trickster is better if you're going more ranged, since you don't benefit much from thief or assassin.

[@casual9435]

thank you!!! thank u so much for your insight I was really stuck debating thief vs trickster and this settled it.

[@thatonegeeksite5251]

Thank you so much for this. My wife and I have been playing co-op and we’re having a blast, but this is our first dnd style rpg game so we’re still figuring stuff out in regards to how things work. Your videos are super helpful.

[@PhaethonCrafts]

If you want to be an insanely powerful rogue do a Dark Urge play through. Why? Because you get an invisibility cloak pretty early on.

[@dominikgose2609]

Sa doesnt automatically come with advantage, it REQUIRES advantage or an ally within 5 ft of the target while having no disadvantage

[@norzza]

Yes correct, apologies if my explaination was confusing.

[@Dongobog-ps9tz]

I mean, he's not wrong, a sneak attack is indeed always made with advantage.

[@dominikgose2609]

@@Dongobog-ps9tz nop. You can have no advantage but so long as an ally is within 5 feet, sneak attack is available.

[@slam6802]

@@Dongobog-ps9tzthe point is that you can use sneak attack outside of being hidden if you have a teammate within 5ft. If you’re hidden, then yes it’ll have advantage because of being hidden, not because you used sneak attack

[@stevebuckley7788]

I think the confusion on this is causes of disadvantage (there are quite a few.) When using a ranged weapon for sneak attack the most common one is being outside visual range. This is most easily solved by casting the dancing lights cantrip near the the target. In beta I completed most fights solo with long range sniping and hiding.

[@Keldrath]

duergar seems very overlooked as at level 5 they get invisibility just all the time. no short rest or long rest or spell slot restrictions just unlimited uses of invisibility outside of combat and a limit to once in combat.

[@dr.schultz4616]

You know what's funny? If you play a shield dwarf, get the exotic material armour in Act 2 and you can get a crazy AC at like Level 6. Max out your Dex (easy to to if you get the hags hair in Act 1) for a +5 on your AC. Buy a cloak of protection, boots and gauntlets that give you +1AC each and any shield for +2 on your AC. As a shield dwarf you get proficiency in medium armour and shields, so that problem is out of the way The exotic materials don't limit your AC bonus on medium armour A base of 15+5 from Dex, +3 from the other items and a +2 from your Shield. Thats's a total of 25 AC at level SIX! Throw a Necklace with the spell shield on top of that and you can bump it up to 30 once per day Buy the shortbow from Dammon which gives you Fire and cold resistance; Congratulations, because you are a dwarf, you now have resistance agains poison, fire AND cold damage. Get the helmet grom Dammon for a +2 on your Saving throws ..., etc The possibilities are endless No disadvantage on stealth, just an unhittable rogue, that hasn't even gotten his REALLY evasive skills yet.

[@BL00DYME55]

I don't know, Rogue just feels so much less powerful than a lot of the other classes. By level 5-6 I was able to do multiple smite attacks on my pally, practically 1-2 shotting bosses. Same with the fighter (Lae'zel) and barb (Karlach), both decimate enemies with multiple powerful attacks. Gale is a walking glass cannon, those fireballs just vaporise anything in the vicinity, and he has the advantage of staying far away and using a lot of utility - teleportation, invisibility, cc, etc. And then there's Astarion, who can stealth and shoot 1 arrow per turn, or 1 melee + off hand attack. It's just so underwhelming. Every level I'm hoping for some unlock that "activates" his build, but he's level 8 now and he's still so boring and hardly puts a dent in the enemies of the same level. If not for his utility outside combat (lockpicking, deception, disarming traps, perception checks), he would stay in my camp permanently.

[@Pentax67]

Yeah I have same feeling , rogues are too bad

[@kimashitawa8113]

i've got a solid pure rogue that i love playing, but unfortunately she's super gear dependant and really only popped off at act 3 which is way too late.

[@TheFishBowl27]

What build is your favourite?

[@calebakers9642]

I know this is a year old. However to whom is reading this, I also recommend multiclassing a rogue with monk. I am currently using a Rogue lv 8 build with a Monk lv 4 build. This greatly helped especially when enemies close the gaps. The Monk unarmed attacks normally never miss and crit hit a lot for me. just a tip is all =).

what was Larian's decision behind removing the Drow Scimitar proficiency (a light finesse weapon for rogues) from their game but allowing Elves to keep their longbow proficiency? Even the Drow npcs ingame are wielding scimitars but my drow's running around with shortswords and shortbows

[@MrStraightX]

I was trying to play melee rogue, and this is super weird, yes, you can crit around 40-60 on level 8, but there are too many if's, fighter simply does this every turn without any impediment, idk, feels good to have rogue for lockpicking and some social checks, but honestly feels very weak.

I'm playing rogue but when I hide (and it is a successful hide) I don't have advantage for some reason. It's almost like it's bugged.

[@lostmarimo]

a stealth build is a weird one for me. currently playing an assassin type character on my second play through. the weird part is that on some pulls i feel like i shoot off one shot and then my whole crew just stands there for 3 turns doing fuck all. yet on other fights i just absolutely dog pile on a boss or somethign and they don't even move for like 2 turns instead. Like the hag in act 1, i spread out my 3 stealthy archers (lol) and lae zel walked up to the hag and she just popped up and then got killed in 2 rounds.. very strange. On my first playthrough as a paladin i had to run around chasing her for ages xD

5:13 interesting how that thief action is more inline with an assassin class rather than thief.

[@thesnuggles0]

So the hide ability is basically going into stealth? A rogues turn should be move, attack, offhand, stealth? It's for my brain to comprehend clicking "Hide" while standing in front of an enemy will make me hidden.

[@Zuvas]

Probably doesn’t work well for melee because the ground will be red aura (enemy has vision). Better to sneak attack from bow then use bonus action to hide and repeat

[@thesnuggles0]

I always heard that getting your ability score up to 20 in dex is the first priority.

[@Joey-sx1mx]

It's really not necessary first thing, and other abilities are more useful.

[@pterodummy]

Eh. Depends. It isn’t a bad idea to rush for the +5 mod, and it’s usually what I do when I play a straightforward rogue. Just keep your mind open to the possibilities of feats (especially building your Abilities around picking up half feats) or multiclassing. Both of these can set back your Ability Score progression but they offer the potential for some bonkers builds

one thing I dont really get about assassin is that how its actually supposed to be played. before You start replying, I AM AWARE of what the classfeatures do and how they work, its just that they dont really fit the theme of the game? Like 80% of the combat ecounters start with a dialog, are u supposed to leave your rouge behind? even if You do and You attack in, they wont get the surprised feature? Like simply hiding and sneak attacking enemies, without talking to them is just so much missing out in terms of RP. To me, it seems like assassin cant really get implemented into a game like this, I would've been so much happier with soulknife.

You'll have to move to an area that isn't covered in red, THEN you can hide and now your attacks & actions will have advantage/be considered hidden.

@@D-AVG thank you :)

[@jijobuje]

@@D-AVG Sometimes even if I am not in the red vision, I cant get an advantage. What is the reason of this?

[@1621lionheart]

​@@jijobujeyou are in an open light area, full sun icon. Get to darker area and try again.

[@SirCharles12357]

@@jijobuje You also have advantage if you have a party member within 5' of your target (they're busy with them and fail to notice you). I think you can also use mage hand and other summoned creatures to get this same effect.

[@rastax123]

I still cant figure the whole sneak/stealth out. If i attack a target out of stealth, my Astarion always gets in combat after the attack AND loses his first action because he did the attack. What should i do to stop this?

[@popeskill]

attack while stealthed? lol your enemies will have the surprised reaction and lose a turn

[@slydog75]

why is it I sometimes try to hide, then immediately pop back up out of it without any indication that I failed a skill check?

[@Mc76204]

Shift-click to see a red aura that indicates the cone of vision from enemies or npcs in general, if you are low level in stealth for example you will fail the skill check.

Get dual hand crossbows.

[@JacobB-kr5em]

If you’re doing a stealth build you’re better off not dual wielding as abilities only use the main hand for damage unless you get the feat that lets you use weapons without the light attribute on them. Rapiers tend to be some of the best choices for this. And a lot of the time bonus action is better used hiding or using cunning dash or jumping etc.

[@benry007]

It can be good for making sure your sneak attack goes off if you miss with the main hand weapon.

[@pxpq]

Isn't acrobatics just completely useless?

[@Restexx]

So.thief instead of assassin?

[@Svendsor]

"You can dash, hide or engage". You mean "disengage"? :P

[@norzza]

Maybe 😏

[@sannyvillalon3330]

So if im playing gloomstalker+assassin. Im supposed to be in stealth and let my team engage combat and i just atk first on my gloomstalker? Would it count as a sneak atk?

[@mooserocka522]

one question where ARE THESE SUB CLASSES????? arcent trickster, thief , assasin they are no where to be found i have did everything trying to find and choose them? where are they am i doing something wrong?

[@norzza]

You pick them at Level 3 :)

[@mooserocka522]

ok thanks i always just loaded after i did not see it at start. now i had a massive bug when i switched the green girl to champion i went back to camp and she VANISHED. and it auto saved after. All the characters act like she is there but i cant select her in front of her tent and i can hear her. This stinks .I have now played 3 more hours thinking o maybe she will just reappear nope i lost all the gear on her also. WOW i had a ultra rare sword on her so mad. @@norzza

[@karolisbalcius2809]

It felt disrespectful watching Astarion undergo a plastic surgery by an Ability Score change

[@paulsharp5738]
