Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Items Picked up during play through

Ok while playing through the game I've come across a couple of items so far that I'm curious about The first being the "The Oak Fathather's Embrace" which is the Armor you find in the Owlbear lair does any of your players wear it? I was thinking of giving it to Shadow.



The other is a single-handed weapon called the "Shattered Flail" Now with this being a single-handed weapon why aren't we able to dual wield it with another weapon? Or is this a bug in the game that Larian needs to fix?

It has some nasty debuff, considering that you'd be fighting a lot of animals and few skeletons.

The Shattered Flail is an amazing weapon but it is not a light weapon which is required to dual wield (without the "Dual Wielder" Feat).

I have Wyll wearing it after upgrading his armor proficiency. I think it's weaker than Shadowheart's default armor.

Well now I do plan on taking the "Dual Wielder" Feat when I get to level 4 but as of now I'm not yet there with this build. So I'll hold on to the weapon til I get there and test it out then. I was surprised thought since my Ranger knight is in fact using it with 1 hand.





Well now I just upgraded Wyll from a level 1 to 3 due to the fact that I thought that I'd used him this time as opposed to Gale and see how things go. So far I like Wyll. Now when Can I upgrade his Armor proficiency is that not until he reaches level 4? As I don't remember seeing anything when I raised him from level 1 to level 3

Now if the Shattered Flail is a heavy weapon then why is it that it can be used by ShadowHeart in one hand and her shield in the other? Yet you cant dual-wield it with another weapon makes no sense.

Yes, the problems are D&D rules and not all of them are well explained in EA.
If you want to attack with offhand, you have to respect some clauses, including both weapons with the "light" property (short swords and sickles, for example).
If the weapon does not have the "light" property it can be used in one hand and you can keep a shield in the other.
The "heavy" property only indicates that small creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with it.
Instead, the "two-handed" property forces you to keep a weapon with two hands to attack with it.

I hope this can help you https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Weapons#toc_2
