Choosing the Thief Rogue subclass as a Monk will bar the player from the Shadow Strike ability (Level 11 Shadow Monk) and the Purity of Body ability (Level 10 Monk). However, it unlocks the ability to Sneak Attack, which works perfectly in tandem with the Shadow Monk's playstyle.

Interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell, making it fail so it has no effect. The higher the level of the spell being cast, the harder it is to interrupt. You can always interrupt spells of 3rd level or lower.

In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Paladin, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Paladin, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.

Ward yourself or 2025 bladesinger an ally against enemy attacks. Until the affected entity attacks or harms another creature, it cannot be targeted by enemy attacks. However, it can still take damage from spells that influence a large area.

Your weapon gleams with astral radiance as you strike and possibly marks your target with light, preventing it from turning Invisible. If the spellcaster misses the initial Attack, the spell slot and Bonus Action are not consumed. This spell will work with Ranged weaponry.

Protect a creature against aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. The target can't be Charmed, Frightened, or possessed by them, and when these creatures attack it, they do so with disadvantage. Inflicts Protection from Evil and Good

As you level up throughout Baldur's Gate 3 , most classes will get some new class feature or spell to choose from each level. As a hybrid melee and spellcaster class, this BG3 Paladin build has a few levels where it won't get anything to choose from – on Odd levels aside from your character creation choices at Level 1, Paladins do not have any leveling choices to make.

Conjure a flaming scimitar in your hand that deals 3d6 Fire damage and sheds bright light in a 3m radius and dim light in a 6m radius. The blade can be unequipped and equipped again, but has to stay on the spellcaster's person.

Shoot a green arrow that covers the target and the ground with acid. Deals 4d4 Acid damage immediately and 2d4 Acid damage at the end of the target's turn. If the spell misses, the target still takes half the initial damage.

If you are dead set on including a character in your party, simply talk to Withers to respec them to one of the optimal Paladin companion classes listed above. This way, you won't miss out on that character's questline, and you won't have to suffer from an improperly balanced party.

The best Paladin companions in BG3 are Halsin as your Support class, Gale as your primary Ranged damage source, and Astarion as your primary melee damage ally. Though you can change the class and specialization of any of your companions, these three come with strong pre-determined class and spec combos to balance out your Paladin party composition.

If one chooses the Noble background, Persuasion will be added to the Paladin's proficiencies. From the remaining Class proficiencies to choose from, consider either Insight or Religion, though Religion can come in handy if you are going for a true Holy warrior.

Touch a creature to grant it protection against poisonious influences. You neutralise all poisons affecting it, grant it Advantage on Saving Throws against being Poisoned, and grant it Resistance to Poison damage.

Snap an ally out of any Stun. Difficult Terrain can‘t slow them down, and they can't be magically Paralysed or Restrained. If the target is Restrained by non-magical means, it can spend 5ft of movement to Free itself.

The max level in Baldur's Gate 3 is Level 12, and most of the time, each level you gain will grant something new for your Monk build. In character creation you gain the basics for the Monk class, then steadily gain Feat Choices, new spells and abilities, subclass features, and increase your Proficiency Bonus.

The Paladin Class in Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the game's most restrictive, as their core Class features and spells are determined by an Oath they are bound to. The Paladin Class is a Heavy armor user with Cleric-like healing and support abilities, but make a wrong move either in or out of combat, and you might lose access to Oath-based powers, the core part of each Paladin build.
