Can you please make a video about dual wielding and other fighter weapon specializations? Dualwielding means you attack with both weapons during attack action or do you hit only with right weapon and you need bonus action to hit with the weapon in left hand? If you only hit with your left hand during bonus action this can mean that if there is not many great magic 1h weapons it can be better to go for 2h weapons or 1h+shield than dualwielding for fighters.

You are doing a great job TY. I was so happy to see some monetary support arrive during your BG3 opening day stream. I do have some old man's advice for you. 1. No man is an island. During your streams, I recommend you have a discord channel member, a close friend, or family member observe the constantly scrolling text for donations/comments/questions. That way they can tell you in your discord channel the genuine posts that NEED a response. Even if they can only watch the text for a 1/2 hour it would be a tremendous help to you. Practically every successful streamer I have seen has a person at their side or in the background assisting them. 2. Turn up the HEAT. The moment other twitch streamers, podcasters, and U tubers realize that D&D has FINALLY! been successfully been transferred into a PC game they are all going to jump on your bandwagon. You already have an advantage over them because of your pre-release videos. Now turn up the heat by posting 5-minute or shorter niche class guides. Examples Do a Drizzt build guide, an Elminstir build guide, etc... along with other niche builds like the Thunder GOD Cleric, etc... This way you will spend far less time editing/uploading. Then once completed you can string them all together in a playlist. There are plenty of small PC dummies videos you could for the game as well. Example: I am deathly afraid of the sync feature a rust monster could spring up and destroy my gear then if the game syncs I am SOL. Being a retired "Old School" person I know very little about PCs. IF the retired community finds out about BG3 the feature videos will be in VERY high demand, BG3 is basically our childhood dreams come true. The bottom line is, keep bombarding your subscribers with info so they don't have a reason to go to anyone else. TY again for all the help I hope to one day adventure with you, or at least see you in the game. Good Luck you deserve it. Oh btw, shouldn't Drow have a plus one resistance to all schools of magic?

Great guide and very easy to understand. For veteran RPG players or any DnD player this should all be pretty obvious, but it's always good to have someone go over the basics every now and then. So far in my own gameplay I'm a little bit confused about the skill checks in game. Guess it's all just down to luck on rolls, but even with save scumming I seem to struggle: First I made a charismatic Warlock, with extra points in Dex and Int, much like the one in this example, and grabbed proficiency in related dialogue-based skills. Was somewhat surprised though, that she was able to succeed on every hidden perception roll my character made, as well as most other rolls that should be based on Int or Wis. Strangely enough, however, she couldn't talk her way out of a shoebox even if her life depended on it. Then I tried a Ranger instead, with pretty much a completely reverse build - except for strength, which both had a maximum of eight. As a wood elf ranger she was supposed to be all about stealth and perception, as well as animal handling, insight and just a few intelligence based skills. Unlike the warlock, though, she's so far failed every perception check I've been forced to take, she scares away animals at sight, and is about as good at sneaking up on people as the average knight in full plate armour. She's still not great at talking to people, but even so much better than my max Charisma Warlock. Anyone else having this kind of problems, or is it just me having real bad luck on my rolls...? :/

Here's some addition advice that might or might not help: if it's your first playthrough and you're not familiar with dnd character creation, I recommend you only focus 3 stat lines, the only 2 secondary that matters: con and dex, and a primary. For example, as a fighter your str is your primary and the rest goes into con and dex, as a ranger your primary is already dex so your secondary is con and something else that could help like wis, a wizard's primary is int so secondary is con/dex, etc. After starting your character, you should only focus on your maxing your primary(or until cap if there is one) b/c combat and every check is based on a dice roll of 1-20, 1 will always fail, 20 will always succeed, having a max stat will almost always guarantee success, with the exception of that 5% of rolling a 1. Stats will vary depending on what you're trying to build, for example an Eldritch Knight is a dual class of Wiz/Fighter but instead of Int/dex/con of a normal wizard, now you're gonna also need Str, so you either dump one stat line or find a balance, but be careful b/c stretching out your points to different stats will also lower your success on dice rolls. And finally, multi classing is a thing but I don't recommend it unless you know what you're building. If you do want to multi class, plan out your character so that the classes synergize with each other, for example wiz/rogue both share similar stats int/dex/con so they synergize well without any downside and you can use skills from both classes.

One thing to remember for Dex and using Medium or Heavy armor: Medium armor has a max Dex bonus of +2 so consider leaving the stat at 14, Heavy armor doesn't benefit from Dex at all so boosting it only affects your Saving Throws. For new players, or just squishy characters, holding a shield grants +2 AC, which can make a world of difference in survivability at low levels.

For Eldritch Knight & Arcane Trickster you can dump the INT stat if needed and focus of utility spells that don't require you to worry about the stat. Like the shield spell: reaction(+5 to Armor class), great for avoiding heavy attacks from giants or crazy targeted spells that could delete you if they touch you. Or find familiar, arguably the most powerful, if not the most useful, level 1 spell in the game as your familiar can take any applicable new form each time you cast it. note: Owls are op, for non chain master warlocks, as you can make them perform the help action to give the next attack against a target advantage and then they can fly away without provoking an attack of opportunity. Pact of the chain warlocks get invisible minions, cuz why not? Easy rule of thumb for a character: Main combat/cast stat > Con > secondary main stat(Paladin: CHA, Ranger: Wisdom) > Wisdom(Skill:Perception, most commonly used one in the game) > dump stats

I started with a wood elf and dropped all my points into dex, wis, cha and having 8s for the rest. Being a rogue I have a melee dual wielding tag team with Astarion. Dashing and sneak attacking people in their faces. It worked like a charm for me so far despite my being a slave driver. I haven't yet let my party take even a short rest and I've explored everything up to the location of the entrance of the underdark. Shadowheart and gale are basically a chearleader duo in the party, since the rogues take the front and do all the work.

My first character is a Cleric maxed on Wisdom but still has enough to be highly charismatic and intelligent, since he's designed to be an eloquent manipulator and knowledgeable scholar. Great video man, solid breakdown of the mechanics and meanings.

It is worth noting that point-buy is applied after race bonuses. So you should apply points on a race with bonuses you don't want, and then change to the race you do want after the fact. Example of Dex with Githyanki and then elf. Maxing out will cost 9 for the Gith and 13+ for the elf. When you change race after you have 15 from the Gith to the elf, then the +2 racial bonus is applied after, giving you 17 at the cost of 15.

This is extremely helpful. Having played Baldur's Gate 1+2 about 1,000 times, I'm used to having my character with stats like this: 18, 18, 18, 9, 9, 9. With BG3 having a max ability score of 15 (plus a racial bonus if any) threw me completely! Even the idea of an ability score going from 13 to 14, or 14 to 15 costing 2 points threw me! And a minimum of 8 in every ability threw me. Our beloved NPC, Minsc, with a wisdom score of 6 couldn't be a character in BG3. There is going to be A LOT to learn for us old-school gamers! Thanks again!

skills like deception & persuasion are in the Charisma section of the skill tree, so they get your charisma mod + your proficiency mod if you choose that skill during character selection/the rare chance you get more skills(multiclassing w/ rogue, etc). Proficiency scales with character level and goes from +2 to +6, with a attribute of 20(+5) +11 will be your cap unless your class gives you expertise(doubles proficiency bonus) or you're effected by something like Guidance or Bless, two very very useful spells.

Wisdom is insanely important in this game (at least the first act). For the reasons you mentioned AND it being a story based roll, I'd bump it up and dump int on your main. Int is a super rare save (even though the reprecutions of failing those rare throws are HUGE), while just looking at the roster of villains I can safely say Wis saving throw will be plentiful. Int checks also usually come up by interacting with something, just have a different character be the smarts (like a class that actually uses the stat *cough wizards cough*)

Hey, is there any real benefit for going with odd number ability score? You waste essentially one point and dont get any more ability modifier, but does it still have some positive noticeable effect?

@@WolfheartFPS I just looked it up, it's part of the actual 5e point buy rule. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying 5e with my friends currently but there are some changes that really bug me. This point buy system being one of them. My friends and I usually roll for stats so most of us roll highest a 16. Add that with bonus and you get a solid 18. There's also a attribute cap of 20 which also bugs the hell out of me. Some DM's even take that rule out but I doubt Larian is going to wave that rule. So far I'm really enjoying BG3 Early Access but I really miss 3.5e.

I wish they did abilities scores the old way with rolling 3 D6 for each. THAT way you could roll an exceptional character with patience. Instead you have to have someone ugly or stupid if you want someone strong and healthy. Or vice versa. Not cool for role playing.

the ability stats still arent working right . 15 shouldn't be the max for any one stat unless thats the highest that race can get to , 18 is the max or it used to be as you would roll 3d6 to get your stats , racial bonus and negatives also dont seem to be correctly applied yet , well it is early access after all , with every character you roll all having a total of 25 points to put in you stats , now with some races having natural ability's of 19 even before you get into whats considered exceptional for those races ie higher than the max that race normally has , like a human fighter with strength 18(56) for example . as it sits now there is very little difference between one race to another with whatever racial bonus or negatives a race may have to another , the chance to roll a really exceptional character right out of the gate or a really crap one ( for even more challenging game play) just isn't there . i guess the old gamer in me was looking forward to the old 3d6 system , but at least they did make it fun when you fail and ability check ingame albeit talking your way out of a fight or trying to convince a trader you didn't steal his goods
