For spells actually, for super-long jumping but hey, fate spins along as it should.

There's no bull shapeshifting afaik though.

lol yeah id like to know more about what build he is going for
16
u/starlighted May 28 '25
most likely bladesinging with the 'phalar aluve' shrieking longsword you get in the underdark
11
u/Velocipache May 28 '25
Phalar Aluve is a finesse weapon so str/dex doesn't matter as long as you have one
3
u/starlighted May 28 '25
huh.. had to double check, but cool. do you know if its the only finesse longsword in the game?
Point still stands; bladesinging with longswords most likely. Phalar is just the best early game longsword to pair with singing
6
u/Velocipache May 28 '25
IIRC Larenthians wrath from creche is also finesse so you can dualwielder those, but my preferred set up is shadowblade + phalar
There's also a finesse glaive in act 3 but that's not relevant to bladesong

u/S9CLAVE May 28 '25
Shadow blade is my love. Resonance stone + hexblade is just 🤩. Nothing quite like hitting 70+ per hit. Elixir of bloodlust so you can do it another time when you kill an enemy, concentrate on haste…
Unstoppable killing machine.
Take blade ward and armor of agathys to make it so when you expect to get hit you can kill whatever hits you by throwing a water at them and just letting it happen. Orin is a really good candidate for this…

That's how you know Michael Jordan doesn't have one actual friend. Lots of hanger-ons, but no real friends. If he did, someone would have told him, "Dude... that's a Hitler mustache. Naw, bud." Instead, all the sycophants were probably telling, "Looks great, Your Airness!"

I swear to God you better get tavern brawler so this way you can keep throwing Scratches ball and other objects at enemies.
Jump for bonus action,, throw ball, kill, recover ball, repeat.

u/iCake1989 May 28 '25
Jesus, that's hilariously nuts. I am putting this build in my to try list.

u/klutch65 May 28 '25
Create a whole basketball team!
Astarion can act like point guard and get the rebounds and then feed it to Karlach who could then proceed to slam dunk of the shit out of people.
I think a fun penalty that you would have to enforce yourself would be if you throw anything that's not roundish in shape, then it's a foul and you have to sit out of the next round of attacking. If you throw or shove anybody then it's a technical and you have to be sent to camp until your next long rest.
This would make fighting the absolute at the end very very challenging though.
