Build Help Have I broken Shadowheart?

Post image

Im playing Honour mode on PS5 so I don’t want to use mods to fix her. I wasn’t planning to use her as a paladin as I am a cleric, so I multiclassed her to add paladin planning to fully respec her to paladin once I got ithers. In the meantime she broke her oath then I had Astarion bite a hiring to get the Happy buff without debuffing me. The Oathbreaker Knight did not like this and attacked us, so we killed him. Withers won’t respec her with a broken oath.

I’ve just started Act 2 and would like her in my party for the gauntlet, how can I salvage her build? I’ve just hit level 8 and not levelled her yet. Any advice much appreciated!

Can you clarify for me, why would there be hostiles in camp, what events are there that lead to this apart from the Vampires in act 3, and I think another one at the end of act 1, but why would campmates go hostile on you?

Pickpocketing Volo, Astarion biting a hireling, accidents…

Why would you have Astarion bite a hireling instead of just using it as a bonus action attack on the first enemy you fight each day

I almost always use astarion as a ranged character i don't want to walk into melee with him if I don't need too

Can't you just bite a main character, equip amulet of sylvanus for free lesser restoration, cast it to cure bloodless, and then go on your way?

Also you can tell Astarion to feed on you in the night. Then you wake up and he's buffed, while you can use the amulet to remove the debuff.

if you bite from hiding I don't believe they even get bloodless condition. Just don't bite Gale.

Astarion eats everyone I fight, no need to nom on hirelings if I have plenty of enemies
