as a side note shadowheart [no spoilers] but i basically flip her subclass at a certain point for story reasons i.e, she plays as a shadow cleric then turns to a light cleric... i know lots of min max players have their "best" but i see this as more of a story change [love her hair] at that point
do others do something similar?
I level Wyll as a different class after a certain confrontation in the Shadowcursed Lands. Mostly paladin, since he is shown to be melee focused and he gives paladin vibes for me. Canonically I think he will become a ranger, so that fits too. I just for some reason see him clearly as a paladin.
Jaheira at least gets some levels in fighter, since she canonically is a fighter/ druid in the other games.
Minsc becomes a strength based character, since that is lore appropriate. And I sometimes change his class. Barbarian berserker fits him a lot. He was a berserker in the old games as a kind of ranger subclass. And he called himself that too.
I also levelled Wyll as a paladin later in my first playthrough, and agree it fits his character really well. I might go for ranger another time now I know he can end up as one, even though it doesn’t synergise as well with warlock.
And I also can’t keep Minsc’s default stats as it feels wrong he’s not a sword wielding strongman, and for the same reasons as fylimar have also multiclassed him as a berserker, and given Jaheira some fighter levels.
Shadowheart I have given levels in rogue (assassin), as with the Acolyte background she now has (unlike Urchin in EA which gave her stealth and sleight of hand proficiency) it doesn’t feel as though her skill set fits her story. I haven’t flipped her to light cleric, but that’s a good idea. Maybe next time!
