Favored soul/3 cleric

Unread post by JIŘÍ »

Is it viable to go FS/3 cleric with 26 charisma and 24 strenght?

Divine shield, EDM, Tower shield?

Fully focused on melee, chaotic alignment and an elf or drow.

Fvs / Cleric with EDM is a classic build. Solid starter build when you don't have gear to mule. Understand you have limited windows of glory. Extend spell is a must

Edit:

So long as you get a + Cha Bonus you're laughing. Make sure to choose your god carefully as the domains and weapon spec feats are critical to min maxing. That being said I played a Gold Dwarf Favour soul Cleric of Moradin who was far from optimised but got some good miles out of him.

Any feats that would be good to have beside blindfight, extended spell, power attack, divine shield, divine might, EDM, and epic prowess?

Your Miles May vary however I would recommend the following

Athkatlan Triparate - Lose back end of flurry for more ac and + 3 damage

Practised Spell caster (Required) Caster level is King

Towershield Prof - -2ab for +2 AC compared to Heavy shield

Extend spell (required) - Needed for Quality of life. So much more uptime on buffs

Divine Shield - A solid "Oh Shit" button worth having if you can squeeze it in

Combat Expertise - More ac

Improved Combat Expertise - See above

Blind Fight - Concealment is a pain, lets make it hurt less

Epic Divine Might (Required) This is what lets the build shine

---

Make sure you meet your Str / Cha perquisites and outside of the above feats splash in things for flavour make the build your own. Hard to go wrong with a favoured soul once you have the above base lines covered. Just remember to curse your bad luck if the server boots you mid buff rotation and suddenly magic vestment and GMW drop.

Look into the dogma of each god your considering and consider what you think would be the most fun to RP being an exemplar of and you'll have a character with robust mechanics that you'll fall in love with.

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title ... _Triparite

Just take a look at the wiki

From wiki:
This style (as well as Sembian Fencing) will instantly deactivate upon casting any spell.

This style will instantly deactivate upon equipping/unequipping an item, making it incompatible with polymorph effects (Shapechange, Wild Shape, Bear Form, etc...)

Does not work with other combat style feats (e.g. Sembian Fencing) but works with combat stances (e.g. Power Attack/Combat Expertise).
I think this is also clarified on the feat entry.

Local wiki is messy and many feats don't have proper keywords attached across pages.

Weapon melee mastery is under keyword weapon mastery and alike.

Man never knows what is actual :arrow:

The deactivation on spell casting is more an annoyance, as you can always retoggle post buff cycle.

I run it trough builder and I lack feats.
Had to drop blindfight and rely on true seeing spell.

Not a single feat for tripartite. Least if I want +10 charisma bonus do AC and 20 to dmg.

Feats: Power attack, Extended spell, Div. Might, Div. Shield, Expertise, Improved Expertise, greater Charisma IV, greater Strenght III, epic divine might, practised spellcaster:favored soul

Not sure if i did not make a mistake in it, i put it together during third nightshift in a row <:D

You can't have that many feats in Epic FS levels in BG.
You were using Kadrin's kit I think.
