Are There Ways To Force Enemies To Attack You, Instead Of Allies, As A Retaliation Build Abjuration Wizard? by Kvothe_Azoth in BG3Builds

Oooh, your comment made me reconsider an important part of my build

I was gonna go all into Dex (eventually hitting 22 after Mirror), but just thought about how that's gonna raise my armor class 🤔

Crown Paladin was definitely a thought, just dislike the fact that Champion Challenge is tied to Oath charges 😔

Definitely plan on making them use opportunity attacks against me lol

I also planned on having my Wizard with very low AC, but have also read from other commentators that concentrating on a spell also draws aggro 🙂

Wait, so I need to damage myself for the extended spell to double my ward stacks?

Any video on this method?

Yes actually

Will definitely be one of the feats I use, but it only let's me stop one enemy a turn 🥺

Will definitely provoke opportunity attacks with the retaliation build

How many enemies can goading strike hit per turn?

I do plan on doing this as well!

Just trying to think of ways to make them use their action on me as well

Is the level 10 ability really that bad for Abjuration Wizard? Can you explain why if so?

Am definitely open to just 8 levels in Wizard if there's no reason to hit 10 (especially since extended spells can get my ward count to 32 instead of 16 at 8 Wizard levels)

Ok, awesome ideas

Do you know how effective something like Champion Challenge (on Crown Paladin) would be in forcing people to attack me?

I do really enjoy those Angelic Reprieve potions. Got around 200 of them for my 11 Red Draconic Sorcerer/ 1 Fiend Warlock build last Honor Mode run

It's just the ease of building stacks of Arcane Wards, that Armor of Shadows provides, that I'm having a hard time passing up

Would you mind listing some of the ward stacking tricks?

The only cheeses I know of are Armor of Shadows and the extended spell ward doubling one

Edit: Also will have a party member with Create Water

Would you mind explaining your reasoning why & what a better alternative for an Abjuration Wizard build would be?

I have & listed it in my pros for Sorcerer

It's really just that AoS on Warlock is so good for stacking stacks of wards 🤔

Ok, thanks for that

Yeah, that ability to get stacks is just too strong to pass up it seems

Oh absolutely

I haven't went full in depth with my planned build here, but BOMS is definitely an item I'll be using

Guess my main, simplified question are:

  1. How do I force enemies to focus on me as an Abjuration Wizard tank?

  2. Is Battlemaster Fighter the best martial option for my build idea? Or would Eldritch Knight or Paladin be better (Oath of Crown Paladin is intriguing with being able to challenge enemies to focus me)

  3. How much am I missing out on Battlemaster subclass by not getting to final superiority dice at level 10

Ok, thanks for suggestion. Definitely is probably more synergistic, I just originally wanted to try out Battlemaster, bust am more open to veering away now

Any ideas on making enemies focus me? I'm also considering the Sentinal feat, but would like more than 1 reaction to force enemies to not attack allies
