Good Day ALL & Happy Gaming to YOU!! Thanks for any & all Advice in Advance!!
My old PC needs to be replaced and I've been forced to start a 2nd character/campaign with my OG one only about 5.5 level due to constant crashing... Merry Christmas New PC to me soon-ish!
Anywho, I went with Barbarian 1 to start & then added 2 levels of Storm Sorcerer. The fly after casting ability is Sweet since so often there are Goblins above or to get out of reach when needed!! Since I'm running with LZ & Wyll in the first group I decided to just switch up to Karlach & Gale this run. I mean, Cleric, duh? Am I Right?!? Guess I'll have to play one to leave Shadowheart behind...
Got to say, and it is certainly NOT the first time, that Larian missed the mark on not having Karlach's Soul Coin empowered Infernal Fire apply to her Elk-Heart Barbarian Primal Stampede! It specifically says it applies to both unarmed & weapon attacks...How would the Stampede Damage not be done with knees, stomps, elbows and or Shield & Weapon on her Run-By??!? If I was playing table top, I have to think that this would be ruled to apply by 99% of DMs.
Last ??? I am still considering 2 more levels of barbarian for my Storm Sorcerer too; but pondering the SubClass options... I like the Bear Heart for her as the additional resistance could certainly come in handy in upper levels and MOAR Healing is always good!! But I have to wonder IF you use your action on Unrelenting Ferocity to Heal, and don't make an attack...your Rage ends, NO??!?? This would kinda break that subclass IMHO
Berzerker for an extra attack when we really want to just whack something down would be great; but only for a few rounds with those -1 to attack stacking quickly. Also, due to needing balanced bonuses across my abilities, I only have 14 str...will that be enough to use the Enraged Throw on enemies?? Or will most of them be too heavy?
Eagle Heart looks cool too for the increased movement; and Diving Strike looks fun, specially for this Gith girl who can already jump far & fly!!?!!
Picture If You Will - a tall, lithe Gith with the Everburn Lightsaber bouncing around the battle like Yoda vs. Count Doku Who can also throw Thunder & Lightning around!!
