BarbLock Moon Druid build?

[morpheus]

Barbarian level 1: unarmored defence + rage

Warlock level 1: armor of agathys + mortal reminder

Druid Circle of the moon 10: Improved Wild Strike and all wildshapes including myrmidons but we lose lvl 12 feat and lvl 6 spells

Feats: Tavern Brawler and War Caster or ASI to boost str/con


Unarmored defence: While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Rage: You gain Resistance to Bludgeoning, Slashing and Piercing damage, and Advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws, You gain a damage bonus to your attacks: +2 between level 2-8 and +3 between level 9-12.

Armor of agathys: Gain 5 temporary hit ponts and deal 5 Cold Damage to any creature that hits you with a melee attacks, can be upcasted to +5/+5 per level.

Mortal reminder: When you land a Critical Hit against a creature, that creature and any nearby enemies are Frightened until the end of their next turn.


it should work like this: cast AoA before combat > turn 1: cast any spell + rage, next turn you can wildshape and wreak havoc

thoughts?

Unarmored Defense does not work while Wild Shaped.

[Mr Fred]

Was more thinking of going 1 wiz/11 moon druid and putting the 17 int circlet on. Will let you scribe spell like blur and mirror image for better defensive tools.

Going by 5e rules, it should just pick whichever is higher, either the creature's natural armour, or 10 + creature's dex + creature's con. However in my testing it seemed to always use the creature's AC. Whether or not that's a bug or a design choice by Larian would be hard to tell without their confirmation.

yeah, i've read 5e rules, it should work no problem.. hopefully larian fixes it in the big update
thanks for testing

Armor of Agathys stops working once you lose the temp hp.

I will also mention that most of the useful Wild Shape forms in the game have a higher natural AC than 10 + Dex + Con, meaning even if Unarmored Defense worked, it wouldn't do anything for those forms.

The only forms that Unarmored Defense would work for are Badger, Bear and Deep Rothé.
Badger and Deep Rothé would have 2 more AC, Bear would have 1 more.

so considering this, a fighter 2 for action surge would be better than barb1 lock1?

or rage+criticals from barblock etc are better?

I think Moon Druid gets new wild shape forms at level 12 unless BG3 is different than table top. I think it’s every 3 levels, so 3, 6, 9, and 12.

they are pretty busted to be fair, at least on normal, the owlbears destroys everything on its path, you also get 3 attacks per turn at lvl 10
