If I multiclass Warlock into Sorcerer, do I need good INT?

[burdfishdemon]

Was thinking about having Wyll multiclass into Sorcerer at level 4, but he only has 13 INT. Should I forget about it?

[Nani!?!?]

Forget it

Sorcerer uses Charisma to cast iirc, same as warlock. The two classes don't synergize particularly well though so I wouldn't.

Thanks for the advice all.

They actually synergise quite well in BG3. There might be some wonkiness in spell slots vs pact slots (I haven't experienced it), but using metamagic to quicken eldritch blast , (while possibly also under a speed potion) to basically pump out eldritch blast like a machine gun is effective and saves spell slots.

You only really need 2 levels of warlock for this.

Go fighter level 1 first for heavy armor prof before Sorlock might be a good idea for high AC

Casters can get very high AC without gimping themself a level.
If you´re going fighter at least get two levels for action surge.
Would not recommend it though since sorcerer have quickened spell and needs that spell progression.

i'd pick barb 1 personally, act 3 has a 23 con amulet... and if you stay in robes, you can get a +1-2 robes, but also that 23 con translates to +6 base AC. and depending on your dex you can add +2-3-4 as well.

also that +6 bonus for barb stays even if you use a shield.

you can fairly easily reach 26-27AC with a robe character, or 30 with best gear (some of it unique) and a ward+shield of faith, and under a reaction using Shield you get +5, so 35, only an Eldritch knight with best plate gear can reach that high. (21plate/1defense combat/3shield/1 ward/2 SoF) but you only go that high on 1 character, not 2.

which is what you also get if you use only best gear items in the game on a plate character.

Good thing I never claimed to know what I am talking about.
Never played a minute of DnD before BG3; just remember hearing from somewhere that casters typically want to single class in this game.

start fighter, 2 lock, then 1 fighter, rest sorc.
now between quicken spell and warriors extra action you can shoot multibeam eldritch blast 3 times in one turn and hit anyone with 6d10 +4-9
