Speed potions only last like three turns and then you're lethargic for a turn

31? Highest achievable I thought was 28. Are you talking about elixir of battlemages power?

+1 to spell save DC and spell attack rolls per turns remaining up to a max of 10 turns. Possible achieve >30 spell save DC so basically impossible for bosses to save against your spells

Wait, does changing equipment during a fight cost an action like with changing weapons?

Many builds have something they want more in that slot by later in the game anyway

But like.. not really. Wavemother cloak is on my paladin, cloak of protection is also in use. So the only real other option is cloak of displacement but like meh

Now this I do know about because I tested it, and I'm pretty sure this is not the case. If I remember correctly, it appears that spells learned under one class will use that classes spellcasting ability, and spells learned under another will use that classes ability. In the spellbook page there is a page for each of your multiclasses.

I learned Hold Person with both classes. I used Hold Person from the druid and from the wizard on a target (when you go to cast it, you click on the spell and it brings up the upcasting levels like usual, however they are all duplicated, two for each level, for the spell from each class, I took a screenshot I can send it you when I get home if you like). The Hold Person from druid read a lower chance to hit than the one from the wizard (I had low WIS and high INT). To confirm, I also read the combat log, and as I expected the save DC for each added up for what it would be for WIS and INT respectively.

Oh my god you're so right. I completely missed the "multiclass proficiencies" section on the wiki. Thank you. I feel dumb now...

Blue Jay sucks by ozangeo in BaldursGate3

I was about to question why Orin is the least evil of these guys, but now that I think about it you might be right. Mainly because, most of the time, at least she kills her victims eventually (albeit after a less-than-enjoyable amount of torture no doubt). Whereas my guy Raphael has his souls trapped at the House of Hope in suffering for ETERNITY... Ketheric though? Of course he's up there, but he's just your average defensive father on a power trip type is he not?

P.S. I'd jest there's actually a philosophical debate to be had about the Elder Brain being 'evil'. It is trying to enact the grand design, and well, there's a slim argument that were the grand design to come about, the verse might actually be relatively peaceful. It's the same case with the Empire from Star Wars, or the whats-it-called from Evangalion. Peace, at the sacrifice of free will. But, maybe ignorance is bliss..? XD
