I adore multiclassing but I don't know if I'd recommend it for a first playthrough. You're an adult though so do what you want lol. That said; Shotgunnova posted... Shadowheart, So, the spell list would be altered, but if you multiclass into a different full caster like Druid, you retain your spell slot count. So a level 12 cleric will have the same spell slots as a 6/6 cleric wizard. Don't remember how that effects the spell lists though. --- https://i.ibb.co/2vRbyC0/Rosa-6.png "Friends don't let friends watch The Big Bang Theory" - mogar002 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I just got Planar Ally and Heroes' Feast and stuff, so I might just do pure cleric -- it's been more than alright so far. A respec to get the bonus to healing proficiency would be nice, but I think you need to change your guardian deity or something, so that wouldn't make as much sense story-wise. (And if Larian planned special dialogue if you do guide Shadowheart away from Shar in this fashion, I'd tip my cap to 'em. They planned for almost everything else!) --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ... Copied to Clipboard!

Deity choice is purely for dialogue flavor, it has no gameplay effects. Shadowheart's deity can't be changed through a respec; she will always have Shar as her deity up until the end of Act 2, unless you make the wrong choice. --- http://i.imgur.com/VeNBg.gif http://i.imgur.com/gd5jC8q.gif http://i.imgur.com/PKIy7.gif http://i.imgur.com/3p29JqP.gif ...

Uhhhhh, I think I have 11-13 files, haha. Most are just weenie playthroughs in the LV3-4 range. My drow's gotten the furthest into the plot, then my gnome mage (Underdark) and Bard archer (goblin temple). Most are invented characters for classes I hadn't attempted, although I did start playthroughs for Karlach, Wyll, Gale and Dark Urge at some point. Part of the fun is just hopping around when the mood suits me. I did Shadowheart's stuff all the way down to the hag fight -- and respec'd her for easy heavy armor proficiency -- but I kinda want to progress my monk a bit later. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ...

So, fun fact, my very first playthrough I did the deed with Lae'zel early even though I ended up with shart. I also took a longer adventuring day in the Bog. I had forgotten I had drank from the well, so when I woke up the next day, post frog action, I was nauseous. I thought for the longest time that they weren't fucking around with Lae'zel and that bedding her meant you were literally fucked up the next day. --- https://i.ibb.co/2vRbyC0/Rosa-6.png "Friends don't let friends watch The Big Bang Theory" - mogar002 ...

Mother Inferior got BTFO'd. It's not fair she has an artifact that gives all spells disadvantage...but it's a little more fair now that I own it, haha. The battle was interesting because I immediately made use of my two crossbow attacks and got massive crits on two traitors on the stairwell -- that made things quite easy. Also, I encouraged Shadowheart to murder her own parents, which should counteract any sappy helpfulness I did today. Makes me curious what happens if you make your own Shar-worshipping character, kill Shadowheart for her artifact, then go into the shadow-cursed lands.
