My Build Philosophy

• I value RP over OP
• Stats don't assume Ethel's buff
• Big fan of builds that come together either early or gracefully
• There's a place for mid and late game builds, like on late-arriving companions

Blast 'n' Slash

My first Tav, Tav Starbright, used a fun and flexible build that let her Eldritch BLast on an action and attack twice with a bound offhand weapon.

Variations explored here: Offhand Blaster

Blasting Flourish

A melee variation of Blast 'n' Slash, using College of Swords Bard as the core.

Either loses out on the bound weapon or a feat.

• Bladelock 3 / Thief 3 / Swords Bard 6 (all in on Cha)
• Warlock 2 / Thief 4 / Swords Bard 6 (two feats)

Raging Monk

My EIP Build

• Karlach's soul coins add 2d4 to unarmed attack.
• Could find 3 levels for Thief, as the Barb features aren't online until late Act 2.
• Could respec after getting the club, or start Dex.

Shocking Scroll Gish

My EIP Build and NucleiRaphe's inspiration

Concept: scroll-using gish with double off-hand attack (Fighter 1 / Thief 11).

Starting Stats: 10 16 12 14 8 14 Gloves of Dexterity: 10 (18) 16 16 10 14

Three Feats: Spell Sniper (Shocking Grasp), Dual Wielder, TBC

Arcane Synergy from either the headband (condition) or the ring (cantrip). Shocking Grasp covers both and also neatly prevents reactions, for extra mobility.

Levelling:

• Rogue 1 for skills and 2 expertise such as stealth and sleight of hand
• Rogue 2
• Rogue 3 for Thief (adds second offhand)
• Fighter 1 for TWF and offhand bonus
• Rogue 4 for Spell Sniper to bring the attack pattern online
• Rogue 5 for Uncanny Dodge Reaction
• Rogue 6 for an Expertise
• Rogue 7 for Evasion
• Rogue 8 for a Feat. Dual Wielder will give +1 Armour Class even if your preferred weaponry is light
• Rogue 9 for sneaky invisibility
• Rogue 10 for a feat of your choice, maybe an ASI
• Rogue 11 for reliable talent
