dark urge rogue bias?

[MadRooster]

i feel like lore wise the game really wants you to be an a rogue assasin if you want to be dark urge no? or am i missing something? i mean the whole killing people in the dark and being an unholy assasin makes me thing its more for rogues no?

Assassin suggests a professional position. The Dark Urge just wants you to kill, it;s not bothered as to how. And recall the default Durge is a sorcerer.

I don't agree with your sentiment seeing as the default 'Urge' is a sorcerer.

Dark Urge go default, dragon with Sorc and multi in 2 Paladiin X Sorc. Very strong.

Dark Urge is sadistic and kills brutally. Not really a professional assassin. But they can be any class anyways, so do whatever you think will be fun.

[Gaius]

Durge is meant to be the main character, and because of the game design choices 9 times out of 10 that means he will be a CHA based class.

That doesn't mean he will not mutliclass of course, and yes, his cape is amazing for assassin rogues - but also to Gloom Stalkers and any other high burst killed that can trigger it every turn, even a pally that loves Smites.

I usually make him a Bard to have the ability to use 2 1hand crossbows, because they are a very easy way to deal heavy damage as soon as lv 4 (with sharpshooter), specially if you can immobilize the target - something bards can do - while having decent hit chance from invisibility even with the -5 active.

Now, after much testing that Durges really want to be are HALFLINGS. Halfling luck is one of the very few buffs that is not lost on Slayer Form , and it's great everywhere else too, including being theparty face and skill monkey.

Killing people in the dark ? No, Dark Urge stops thinking at "killing people"

Which mechanically kind of sucks as the dark urge form has a massive nerf to charisma meaning it won't work well as a bard, sorcerer, warlock or paladin.

Would you be casting spells in that form anyway?

Lore wise there were 10,000+ Bhaalspawn, yes?

Lore wise, the Bhaalspawn all died and Bhaal was resurrected long before BG3.

By the way there is no canon Durge, this isn't like BG1/BG2 where Gorion's Ward was a human fighter (in the novels). Just play whatever you like, it's a fantasy game.

[WitchBride]

You can be creative with the Dark Urge class, Rogue is just the easiest.

My Durge was a Bard. I imagine them using charming magics to lure and seduce victims. Playing music to contemplate and plan their next murder. Seeing each killing as a grand performance leading up to their grand finale in delivering the world to Bhaal.

Its not just spells though its everything that scales off Charisma.
That hurts a number of class abilities for those classes.

And yes if it wasn't for the charisma nerf it causes it would be very fitting for an oathbreaker paladin or warlock.
