  • Hello and Hey! And today we go over the Paladin for the upcoming Baldur's Gate 3 (August 3!). This is an overview of the abilities they get and then recommendations for multiclasses or how I would level one if it makes it into one of my games!
    Trying to limit Speculation where possible as some things we cannot know until release, but should be accurate enough to be an outline if you're interested in the class.
    Thanks for watching!

    I plan on paladin/warlock multiclass but im having a hard time deciding if i want 3 or 5 levels of warlock. I guess ill figure it out when i get there tho. Great video.

      That's a tough call. Considered adding that to the multiclassing list, but feels like it comes online pretty late too. If you remember, lemme know what you end up doing. Think I'd lean 3 myself.

      ​@Ghostzapper that's what I thought at first but I feel like 9 pally doesn't add much. Either way I'll have 2 level 3 spells slots. Luckily there is respec in the game. I'll try to remember tho.

      I'm way late on this but my advice of Warlock 3 aged like milk. The extra attack from Pact of the Blade stacks with Extra Attack from Classes cause they aren't the same.

      I like it. Good reason to multi with a full caster. Get even more slots to pump them out. But I totally respect staying single class for the Paladin Features, Improved Divine Smite, Lay on Hands, etc.

    Hello. I just got the early access 2 days ago and decided to make a Paladin. I was given two choices for subclass while creating my first character. I am now level 3 and I don't see the Oath of Vengeance. I was looking forward to trying that. Is the Oath of Vengeance locked until the full release of the game?

    • @Ghostzapper
      @Ghostzapper  11 місяців тому

      I'm not in love with Sorlock, specifically in BG3. My plan was thinking to go Warlock 5/Sorcerer 5/Paladin 2, but so far I've felt some friction with trying to use the Spell Slots I want. Like it was making me cast Hex at 2nd Level despite only having 2 levels in Warlock. And I couldn't convert the Warlock Spells into Sorcery Points, even though it was in the Warlock section and SHOULD have worked. :/

      I'm 99.5% sure. Haven't tested for myself in BG3, but works that way in tabletop. And even my Paladin (who has broken their oath, but is not an oathbreaker) still has access to her permanent auras!

      It's just Aura Vs. Bard Feature + 5th Level Spell slot. Don't think either are objectively better than the other.

      @Ghostzapper  10 місяців тому +1

      Not sure if which you are referring to. But if it's Lay on Hands or Channel Oath 'Uses' then you just get a set number at certain Paladin Levels.
      If you've broken your Oath but not chosen to be an Oath Breaker, you can't have any Oath Charges.

    Paladins being so front loaded makes multiclassing them feel absolutely filthy, so I’m really curious how balanced the game will feel with paladins around lol.
    A player in one of my games was playing a fighter/Paladin and action surge smites basically delete everything I threw at them 😅

    • @Ghostzapper
      @Ghostzapper  11 місяців тому +1

      I think you're bang on that some things are just gonna be ridiculous balance-wise. And seeing those things be abused while solo'ing the hardest difficult will be fun. Appreciate that Larian is willing to give players that type of power.
      However, not gonna be that great if the normal difficulty is a pushover. Delicate balance, all while trying to design for the masses. Hope they got it right!
      Also. RIP your encounters, lol.
