Haven't started yet, but I'll probably go with Half-Elf Paladin - I usually play Clerics, but I want to change it up somewhat (and don't want to play War Cleric). Eldritch Knight? That's lvl3 choice for Fighters in 5e, does game start at lvl3 or they moved Martial Archetype to lvl1 in BG3? |
When you hit level 3, you can pick your subclass (as a fighter, I started as one).
Fighter currently has 3 (subclasses):
Battlemasters (Superiority dice, for differnt actions/reactions)
Eldritch Knights (Spellcasting, Warmagic, Eldritch Strike) (they can cast magic)
Champion (Improved critical hit, Remarkable Athlete: Proficiency) (they crit more, and add half of proficiency bonus to str/dex/con checks your not proficient in)
I just think Eldritch Knight looked cool.
They can do cantrips into bonus action attacks, or attacks that give disadvantage against your next spell cast, ect.
Plus since we're fighting off the mindflayers at start, I thought it would be neat to be a Githyanki (makes sense RP wise, why you would be a Eldritch knight too).
Half-Elf paladin is solid though (it seems popular (paladin) on resetera, alot there seemed to start bard or paladin, for dialog options).
Apparently most of the "skill checks" in game, presented to you in dialog are CHR based ones (Intimidation,Deception,Persuassion,Performance).
And while you can make use of other characters for the more combat aligned ones like Stealth,Sleight Of Hand,perception ect.... npc's will be targeting your character for dialog, and haveing options is always nice.
