interesting Build for Shadowheart?

[VVolf]

Is there a cool way to multiclass Shadowheart as a trickery cleric or is going full cleric always the best for her?

[Nani!?!?]

8 levels Trickery Cleric, 4 levels of Gloomstalker. Why? Because why not?

Honestly cleric is just so good, you don't want to multiclass.
6th lvl spells have stuff like Heroes Feast...

Thanks for this,it helped me get up to speed on D&D 5 mechanics. Liking both the Cleric/Bard & the Sorlock.

Keep in mind Mr. d4 is winging it on what Larian has not put in print yet. So he's proejcting a fair amount of Larian 5e interpretation risk with some of these builds. He's pretty transparent about his assumption, though.

+1. It's a pretty good to go support class right out of the box:

Heal
Buff
Spots things
Armored
Anti-Undead
etc.

you dont get heavy armor if you multiclass in to a fighter, only if you start as one, now Larisn might have changed that but its how it's supposed to work

She has 14 dex 16 wisdom, so multiclass into any dex/wisdom character would be viable. Cleric 1 gives access to healing word and guidance so its fine. From my understanding you cant respec out of lvl 1 for origin characters as their class is important to the story.

Ill probably be playing shadowheart as a pure cleric, but Cleric 1 Monk 11 is viable, Cleric 1 ranger 11 is viable, cleric 1 druid 11 is viable, cleric 1 rogue 11 is viable, as well as whatever else you can think of, even fighter. I wouldnt put more cleric levels unless you really want invoke duplicity or have a specific thing you want from higher levels.

We will have to see, but Larian seems to not favor restrictions.

Also with full respec you could just go level 1 fighter and pick up the con saves to.

i mean a full respec to start as fighter is technically a great idea but until its confirmed it wont break her storyline i aint doing it

I dont think you can respect lvl 1 orgin characters.

No need for an interesting build for Shadowheart when you are interestingly built.

well if you can respect them or not is up to you, you can however respec them

from CU 22

"In Baldur’s Gate 3, you have the freedom to respec not only your chosen protagonist’s class but also that of your playable companions and pre-authored Origin characters, whether you’re looking to make a few adjustments to their existing build, you’ve got a burning desire to experiment with entirely new playstyles and class combinations, or you just want to create an all-badger supergroup."

That doesnt confirm or not lvl 1 will be locked. I have heard conflicting information that playing as an origin your lvl 1 class is locked as its important to the story.

i plan on rolling a corpse build for shadowheart and all the companions as they will inevitably try and get in my way on my rise to power so i will kill when it looks like they dare to question MY decisions

[FunkyMonkey]

I'm also tempted to multiclass Astarion with levels of Dead...

I feel like 'will I break Shad's storyline if I respec her class' is a top 10 question people have right now lol

I've seen it come up at least 5 times in the last few days.
