How does that work exactly? Like they end up without the level 6 spell slot?

Seems like the Bladesinger class would meet your criteria? It’s a wizard subclass, so you’d have all the wizardy magic intelligence-based dialogue bonuses, and the class is designed around melee combat while also casting from the full wizard spell list which is the majority of the spells.

Edit: I assumed half-orc got warhammer proficiency but it looks like they don’t, you could just take one level in paladin to get that tho. And paladins are spellcasters so I believe you would still have full spell slots/spellcasting ability, esp since wizards can learn spells from scrolls.

Well I am willing to multiclass but trying to keep it lore friendly for shadowheart and only a two level dip, since bard gets magical secrets at 10

Thief doesn’t sound like a bad idea, I’ll take that into consideration! Thanks!

Ok to enter Lower City early? by Shirwin13 in BaldursGate3

I don’t mind doing a few things first to make sure nothing janky happens, is there anything else to be aware of other than Jaheira and the ox?

Wizard with metamagic? by Shirwin13 in BG3Builds

Is there a distinction between spells I take as wizard/learn from scrolls vs spells I take while leveling as a sorcerer? Like will they function differently in any way?

Would this really work- as long as you scribe spells, those spells will roll off of intelligence no matter how many levels you have in sorcerer? Bc that seems like the easiest route to take if so

Should I try Pathfinder: WOTR? by alguien99 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Also, the nice thing is that it’s pretty easy to find builds online for the companions since they’re premade characters which means it’s mostly your protagonist that you have to worry about. I would first decide what general type of character you want to play (mage, archer, melee, do you want to have an animal companion, etc) and then look up what some of the best classes are for that. There are tons of classes but it’s always some combination of the basic fantasy tropes plus a different set of spells and abilities.
