If its actually an achievement you'd just need to roll a wizard and rush the ogres for the 17 int headband

Could I? Probably.

Will I? Definitely not, as it is not supported in the D&D rules at all.

Unless you have to actually do something with it, what's stopping someone from respeccing to that, then respeccing again. Or saving before respeccing then loading the save to save the money?

It sounds as though we'd be able to do it in a non-D&D RAW way in BG3 if we didn't up all relevant stats to 13 to meet multi-classing prerequisites, but if we honour that in our build I'd understood it was actually permitted by the D&D rules as per this vid, which is presumably the inspiration for the achievement ...

If there will be an achivement for it I'll do it for sure. I'm a sucker for those, no matter how absurd, hard or pointless laugh

That video was hilarious smile

I've played some pretty absurd characters before, but those were that way purely due to the way RP unfolded for them. My all-time favorite character was in 3.0... a fighter/rogue/cleric. He wasn't a great healer, but Darkness + Ultravision + sneak attack was hilariouly OP against many enemies. We didn't play with epic levels though.

I could, yes. Though while I think having a high achievement % is nice, I don't pursue it that hard. If I don't get an achievement organically but have to spesifically hunt it, I probably won't bother. Putting 1 level in each class is pretty stupid from any perspective. So I'd probably only get the achievement if I cared to through the way others mentioned, respeccing into it. And then probably pressing quickload.

I know, it's great isn't it?!

Is it enough to convince you to try an abserd run at some point though grin? Personally I can't imagine it on my 1st or even probably my 10th run, but if I play and replay this game as much as I currently expect to, that vid certainly made me curious to try one out at some stage. I guess it would be even harder starting out at level 1 though, rather than beginning the campaign at level 14 (?) with all the classes already in place like Abserd.

I think it's going to be an absolute hoot to try an Abserd. The idea would have never occurred to me if they hadn't mentioned an achievement for it, and it's just too ridiculous to not try
