It was only a matter of time, right? While technical tricks like stacking a thousand explosive barrels or leveraging fall damage for Owlbear elbow drops are impressive in their own way, I’ve yet to see anything truly representing Dungeons & Dragons’ frightening powergaming underbelly from Baldur’s Gate 3’s community. That is, until now.

    This game is so immense, and has so many different levers to pull that I am so excited to see the insane builds people will be coming up with years from now. The best part is none of this is a glitch, so the optimizations speed runners can find is gonna be awesome.

      I keep pulling the “mob the same level as you kills 2 of your characters with 1 attack on the first turn” lever

    My only recommendation for the game is they add different body shapes.

    For my build I want tall, I want large, I want green, and I want layers.

    I just want to mention: wizards with full tadpoles, attck roll reduction with bonus damage roll increases + magic missle at 6th level pops off similarly as hard and never misses. Was doing roughly 170-210 damage a round.

    Cant wait to see what other crazy builds people figure out!

    I don’t want to copy the text here, because credit where credit is due. And some things are marked as spoilers, which idk if all Lemmy clients support.

    Essentially 8 levels of monk, 3 in Rogue Thief, Tavern Brawler, and 22 STR getting 8 attacks due to extra bonus attacks and flurry of blows due to feats and gear mods.
    And some various WIS as damage gear mods, and some other bonuses.

    There’s always going to be meganerds who find insane builds in games.

    I remember in Divinity Original Sin 2 I was at the final boss and it was stupid hard. So I went online to ask for help in Reddit and minmax nerds were like: Do you have skin graft? Do you have Green Tea? Do you have Adrenaline?

    And sure enough, after respeccing the fight was a joke.

    Of course, you can just beat DoS2 with barrelmancy, the most OP skill of all!
