Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Paladin - most damage output . no missies or resists

There's a ring that grants vault, it's from Act 1, the feather fall boots are the boots of Mystra from the Arcane Tower in the Underdark. Zero cooldown by the way, no short or long rest limitations. The Underdark also provides a misty step and immune to difficult terrain/enweb/restrain legendary boots, there's a misty step amulet as well, and the guidance amulet is also on Act 1.

There's a Charm Person amulet in Act 2 btw, so yet more caster utility handed out for free to martial classes, there's a bunch of items that grant aid, and a ring and shield that grants Warding Bond, which is universal elemental resistance and +1 AC to a partner. There's a ring in Act 3 with Paralyzing Ray, perfectly usable by martials. An Amulet from the Spectator in Act 1 granting Wounding Ray and Fear. An amulet that grants Fog.

The list just goes on. It's always caster spells and perks that are given to martials for free, but those extra attacks martials have or coating venoms and paralysis autocrit limited to being within 3m of the target? Those stay exclusive to martials. No accessories to grant martial weapon proficiencies, by the way, and there's a single armor that grants proficiency with heavy armor, at the very end of the game behind the hardest boss, but since it doesn't grant spell attack rolls or DC, you want to stick to the single existing very rare wizard robe in the game, which is where you find the single legendary staff in the game while the game has 4+ legendary martial weapons handed out.

Oh, and you know that cantrip longstrider and the very expensive lv5 spell freedom of movement granting immunity to paralysis and restrain? Granted by some boots. Cheers, "insane caster utility".

Ignored wisdom/int/cha as stats as a martial? Worry not, a whole treasure trove of amulet and rings to grant you advantage and +1 to wis/int/cha based saving throws, in case the parade of misty step or fly armor/accessories and immunity to difficult terrain rained on you to negate the supposed disadvantages of a melee playstyle wasn't enough.
