7th level spells would probably break the game by itself

I've killed most 3rd act bosses in 2-3 turns at lvl 11-12 on tactitian without ilithid powers, any abuse (like DRS) or multiclassing on my 1st playthrough. I really dont see why u need more than 12 lvl so far. BTW its bug with arrows of many targets so nothing special just exploit video.

@@eusuntmoldovanul6018 I only did it because Mizora scammed me first. Without going into spoilers, she "resurrected" someone I SPECIFICALLY left alive, knocked out, on 1 hp. She "resurrected" him in camp, on 1 hp and knocked out.... So that's where I got the idea of NPC buff/debuff permanence.

Pretty sure I just knocked him down over and over again and put him in acid/ice/sludge. He got 3 attacks off the whole fight (which got counterspelled for the most part) lol

Hold Monster for 20 turns and wack a mole on his ass with Laz and Karlach ezpz

Feel like most games would not allow that kind of debuff to persist. Larian really deserves GOTY. Those saying Starfield will win it need to promptly remove their heads from Bethesda's ass.

@@CastleRaccon Smart.

@@CastleRaccon This where this?

Oh sure, let's give the ascended vampire the most powerful magical artifact in existence, I'm sure he'll use it responsibly and not become corrupted with absolute power or anything like that.

@@ComplexityComplex I mean, at that point, why not go all in? 😉 I would rather have Ascended Astarion rule the world than any those devils and demons or Bhaal. Heck, there are so many evil gods in the Forgotten Realms and yet Faerun still exists. At least with Astarion, you can always distract him with something shiny... or a delicious cupcake, now that he can enjoy all the pleasures of the living again. Poor guy hasn't eaten properly in 200 years...

Hahah noo noo... No amount of Ascension is gonna help Astarion take down big boy Asmo, it's like asking Gale with his full power to square up to Vecna

Asmodeus is a quasi deity, he will rofl stomp you even at level 20. Even just taking his pure CR, that's level 30. He is just immune to most damage, including negative, cold, fire and poison, and resistant to everything else but light and is just immune to any spell of level 6 or lower. He can cast many spells just at will, including fireball, chain lightning, a powerful charm, curse and animate dead , all at highest level. He also regenerates 30 hp every round and overall can't be killed in the first place if you don't manage to conquer hell. He would just respawn there. He's always in advantage with his saving throws against magical and can chose 5 times per day (only limited for the gameplay) to succeed no matter what. He will also just regenerate ALL damage, including cut of limbs and any kind of magical or other effect over 3 rounds, what will also protect him from being attacked in the first place. Oh, and beyond the other most powerful spells he can cast, he can create a zone of abslute darkness that not only takes your senses, but crushes you with 8D10 damage per round and reduce you and everything you wear to dust when you get to 0 HP in it. He can make 5 attacks per round agains targets up to 600y away doing 50 damage on average per hit. And he can do that on top of casting a spell every round. He can teleport at will inside the nine hells every round or outside the nine hells as far as he can see. As a nice bonus, he can grant you a wish if you sell him your soul - and he can change the contract if it pleases him without negative effects on him. Oh, and just standing close to him (200feet radius), will force you to make a Wisdom saving throw against 30 or you will cover in fear. Oh and at the end of each round he gains a bonus action, wher he can: a) start enslaving you by just looking at you (what also does 3D10 psychic damage) b) raise a soul and giving it a new body (will always be that of a tiefling), with all its memories changed to serve him as loyal servant. c) can call for up to 9 inhabitants of hell every round with a CR of up to 20. d) create a giant ugly male mouth with teeth and hellfire, that acts like a portal and sucks in everyone in 60y range who does not make a wisdowm save against 25, leading to anywhere he pleases in the Nine Hells (including for example a chasm, a prison or a pool of lava). And that's just Asmodeus on his own, not talking about all the other lords and demons of hell.

@@TF2CrunchyFrog Gods don't even have values anymore in 5e. They just annihilate you or change you in any way they please. Because, duh, the are gods. You are a nothing burger in comparison to them, even level 20+.

I tested Martial Exertion many times it doesnt work like extra attack it just gives you 1 attack. Unless I did something wrong idk.

Martial exertion only gives one attack per turn not an extra attack per attack action

@@buffwarriors Martial excertion is the feat?

4 for regular action because of martial exertion. Then 3 for haste, 3 for elixir, 3 for action surge, 3 for bonus actions, and 3 for helm bonus actions. 4 + 3 + 3 + 3+ 3 + 3 = 19 19 attacks like the title of the video says

Weight isn't an issue, just stuff the barrels in the chest of the mundane from the arcane tower. All barrels will become < 0.5 weight objects until taken back out

@@kirinashia567 Damn, nice.

this room is the starting room you spawn in when you go into hell so you could probably go to the portal teleport to camp load the hell up on barrels teleport back then place all the barrels down in the starting room because its the same room the boss fight takes place in

you can use mundane chest from arcane tower. it turns anythinh put in it into cookware and decreasing weight accordingly.

globe of invuln really breaks the game lol just cheesed that all of act 3 =/

Just combine globe with guardian. If you put guardian on the edge, he'll attack whomever comes near without taking any damage himself. Worked like a charm in the Shar temple for me. :)

How do you get 10 summons? You can only summon one guardian I thought with globe

Did the same, so fucking satisfying to watch from under a globe of invulnerability

tried it, extra attacks dont stack sadly

You only get an extra attack with the melee weapon of choice, Gloom Stalker + Warlock = 3 attacks per round / 4 attacks in the first round. You can attack + bonus attack more times in the first round with 3 Gloom Stalker Hunter + 3 Thief Rogue + 6 Battle Master Fighter. This gives 2 bonus attacks, 1 ambush attack, 2 main weapon attacks in the first round, and 2 main attacks + 2 bonus attacks in subsequent rounds, without accounting action surge, potion of haste or potion of bloodlust. An Eldritch Blast build should top it with at least 20 attacks per round iirc (Warlock + Sorcerer + Fighter).

walock isn't a bug. The extra attack from that comes from your pact holder. It's a blessing. If you're already capable of swinging efficiently and quickly enough to swing twice per turn, you just get enhanced

@@KuzkosToes This is not a thing in 5e - I have seen people say that Larian confirmed it _is_ a bug as there are not supposed to be any sources of stacking extra attacks, but I have not verified this statement myself. Either way, it is most definitely a mistake from a DnD perspective. Anyone using PoBlock5 or thief3 is already cheating in the context of DnD 5e.

@@pandse2806 they do stack but you need to activate the pact weapon spell

how do u go from 1 natural + 1 potion + 1bloodlust + 1martial surge to 12 attacks i need an explanation, a detailed one.

warrior receive 3 attacks per action on the 11 level 1 action comes naturally 1 action comes from haste (from potion or spell) 1 action comes from bloodlust elixir that gives 1 action per turn when you kill enemy last action comes from martial surge - warrior skill that gives you 1 action per short rest in sum 4 actions that gives 12 attacks

True

@@Kurdent1I doubt this kind of build is possible in tabletop, I would surely know. But I do think there could have been another, higher difficulty. I'm currently playing deliberately sub-optimal builds and skipping content. (Entered a certain gauntlet area as a level 7) And that's actually possible and viable. Those extreme DPS builds won't face much of a challenge outside of very bad dice luck.

@@hah-vj7hc I cleaned gauntlet at lvl 7 as I didn't know you had to do it at the end. It's doable. Balthazar can be hard with all those adds if you don't have control or aoe, but otherwise it was fine. And well, I didn't make any builds based on 5e as BG3 is completely different

@@Kurdent1 Yeah, it's different in many ways, for the better imo. Weapon actions are great, Monks are... not bad. Obviously these OP builds are possible which every one should decide by themselves if they want the power fantasy or the challenge

multi target arrow inflict half damage to other targets so i'm guessing if the first hit is a crit, it spreads. Its clearly not fighter related.

I think the item/consumable he is using might be the one that does this. Other than that it might be from the "executioner" reaction he accepted, in combination with the "muckus poison"? Not 100% sure. but seems BROKEN AF lol wth

@@thescatterpiratesquarepant7935 its paralyze effect giving auto crits if u attack in 3 meter AoE of paralysed target. so auto crit on paralyse target = arrow of many targets rolls a crit every time = it crits the other enemies too.

Ascended Astarion only gives 1d10 necrotic damage. But with auto crit and multi arrow it can be 8d10 combined damage. Fighter 11 lvl gives that many attacks.

You can also just fighter 12 for another feat, Alert for example is very good (so ASI, sharpshooter, lucky & Alert)

Fighter level 11 gets improved extra attack for 3 attacks per action mind sanctuary lets them use bonus actions as regular actions, haste potion + action surge + bloodlust elixr + helmet of grit + action and bonus action is 6 total actions with 3 attacks for 18 total plus martial excursion for one final extra attack all with arrow of many targets and ascended Astarion for 1d10 necrotic bonus to every attack, also used crawler mucus i think to paralyze him meaning that they guarantee a critical on Raphael and thus also every one else with arrows of many targets doubling all damage as well

No but they can work as a "stat sticks". This one sets str to 15, there is one that gives you crits on 19 and rerolls 1s and 2s dmg, there is flail that gives you 1 AC and so on.

The damage from the weapon's ability aura does, you can see it in the combat log, it says "Phalar Aluve: Shriek" it's where the thunder damage comes from.

What part of the game are you currently on, because some of the explanation goes into spoiler territory. (1) They're all missing because Astarion he has a really high AC. You can see at the end of the video that most of his equipment adds to Armor Class. So none of them roll high enough to hit. (2) The dome is an illithid ability called 'Mind Sanctuary' that makes it possible to do actions and bonus actions interchangeably. (3) They are using several 'Arrow of Many Targets' which deal an additional half damage to three other targets in range. Read the description of the video for the creator's explanation.

No I have 0 mods. It was just default option for me. Mby check in settings to change that.
