Why are you not playing paladin?

[Fast]

It's the best class.
Why play anything else?

what makes paladins so good ?

ive never played one in TT

AC 21
Divine Smite
thats really it. For Paladin to be the best it has to multiclass into a full caster so it can get more spell slots to make divine smite more powerful.

once you get the flametongue greatsword, you can drop your shield and still have AC19 or keep shield of faith up for AC 21 still. Then you make two attacks per round at 4d6+2d8 (first level spell slot divine smite). You can do two attacks per round, so, if you do that in the same turn, you roll 8d6+4d8, just for melee attack. And if any of that crits the enemy is basically dead.

Because of how powerful that is, and since its pretty much guaranteed damage, its the best. If you multiclass into something with Fireball that also makes you the best at facing multiple enemies. So you can really do it all.


Just keep in mind whenever someone says something is "The best" they are talking about damage wise, no one actually considers the other 2/3rds of the game (the non combat part of the game).

Because from what I've seen and read, one wrong move and you are an oathbreaker. See a group of hostile goblins that you know are ambushing you? You CAN'T sneak attack them with your party or you are axed from team whatever god you worship. You have to walk into the trap like a dumbass.

Unless something changes at release.

Depends on oath. Vengeance should be able to merk them with impunity.

That's why you toggle non-leathal damage on? Doesn't change how much damage you do just knocks ppl out instead of killing.

Then when combat is over use another character to kill them.

Why would I want to be the Hand of God when I can play monk and have the God Hand?

I am only going by what was reported in videos or forums, but it sounded like even with knockouts on, attacking/engaging before the combat trigger can cause an issue for pallies. Have you played one in EA?

Paladins are f'ing boring

No one has played a vengeance paladin yet. That's what my hopes are resting on.

Also, I don't think being an oathbreaker is much of a problem, but we will see.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Because Oath of the Watchers wasn't included. 🤬

Actually, Vengeance and Ancients are pretty good.

Yea I played one all through the EA. Its my favorite dnd class, my paladin literally never broke his vow after I toggled on non-lethal dmg.

I think it's disgusting .... ...


Because:



in BG3 unfortunately the "paladin" is does the same thing as a "priest" "worships game god"...

So he's not the (Christian) Altruism of "doing good because God (Bible) said so and you want to do it yourself", but in story conversations this "occupation" is "obeying the game god (list above in the text)" which I think this Abomination.

So I won't be playing paladin either.

But there are talented and brilliant developers (all of them) in Larian Studios and its Allies!

They will surely be able to create a situation where you don't have to run away from the lion and get into the clutches of the bear:

BUT you can courageously and lovingly take down both the lion and the bear to protect the sheep.

P.S. Long live Larion Studios, Steam, Dungeon and Dragon in the Lord. (Bible)

This is exactly why I don't drink Pepsi.

Paladins in 5e don't get their powers from a God. They get it from the oath they swore.

Your pally can still worship a God however that has nothing to do with your abilities/spells.

Just be paladin and win.
Anything else is just sadness

Might go Paladin, but Monk is pretty damn cool, so maybe monk.
