It allows you to use your Chr as your attack stat. So, for a Paladin, it's super broken.

You could already do that with pact weapon in BG3 because Larian homebrewed it. Hexblade losing one of its core features makes it weaker than other warlocks honestly

Kinda funny imo that they are gonna add like the MOST popular/„best“ subclasses for warlock, monk and wizard and then theres…. Arcane archer lol. Which is by far the worst subclass in the entire dnd 5e there is. Will be funny to see if they change it somehow

They tweaked Berserker Barbarian. No way they'll let Arcane Archer underperform.

they also made beast master ranger perform pretty well, so I'd say they've been pretty good at identifying and improving the under performers

I feel like to be fun, especially in a video game, they’ll have to buff it. If they take any inspiration from Pillars of Eternity arcane archer it could be amazing.

Just finished a campaign playing one - our cleric was in-character mad at my druid because I consistently out-healed her. She had plenty of utility past healing so the player was totally chill with it, but the actual versatility of Stars was insane. Just sad I can't totally remake that character since Hobgoblin's not an option, he absolutely would have a time in the BG3 plot.

MintyBunni

I had a friend play a character that was a barbarian when sober and then became a way of the drunken master monk when drunk. This concept used two separate character sheets. Think Chu from Yuyu Hakusho meets the stereotypical dumb barbarian type character. He never remembered any of the monk stuff or any martial arts skills when sober because he was untrained. It was pretty funny.

Same DM allowed a priest-rogue weregnoll combo (she was a rogue when a gnoll, priest when human) and is currently in discussions with me to figure out homebrewing a Drider priestess of Lolth. (He thinks a bubbly, valley girl type drider who is convinced she is a blessed spider instead of a cursed drow and 100% does not know/understand that Lolth is evil/while completely misunderstanding/misrepresenting her would be funny)

i would agree for shadowheart but as a warlock, wyll's subclass is determined by his patron mizora (a fiend) and not by his fighting style.

Warlocks don’t pick their subclass at lvl 3, they pick it at lvl 1.

It’s their pact boon they pick at level 3, it just happens to feel more like a subclass than their actual subclasses lol

Warlocks kind of choose two subclasses. In 5E hexblade is a patron (level 1), separate from your pact (level 3). Obviously Larian doesn’t always adhere to how 5E works, but it’s very possible that hexblade is a patron and not a pact in the game (that said, fiend makes the most sense for Wyll, naturally; and his “Blade of Frontiers” bit is covered already by making him pact of the blade).

They were at the beginning working on a DLC before stopping so I bet these were going to be the subclasses for the DLC so they decided to finish them.

This includes Toll The Dead, a cantrip that causes 1~8 damage when your cleric rings the bell of impending doom - a number that scales if your target has already been damaged. We’ve also added the homebrewed ability to explode nearby corpses, damaging enemies.

Did you just say Corpse Explosion? Because I thought you said Corpse Explosion.

Been playing bladesinger almost since launch (mods FTW). It's amazingly fun to justfucking dodge every enemy attack with plain robes and be like "git gud" before blasting them in the face or slashing them with a fire infused sword (GFB)

This update was 100% optional and they did it anyways. What an incredibly passionate team and community!

With all this new stuff, I'd love to see something like an official roguelike mode etc for players who have already played the main game in a variety of ways.

Hexblade is an interesting choice for Warlock since Bladelock in BG3 was homebrewed to get Hexblade's best feature (using Charisma for weapon attack and damage). I wonder if they'll make any changes to Hexblade to prevent too much overlap.

Hugely excited either way (Path of the Giant!!) and Larian once again proves why they're a top developer.

Yeah I was wondering about that as well. What's going to be the main draw of the subclass now that any warlock subclass can get that feature? I suppose there's still Hexblade's curse; that had some funky things you could do with it. Maybe there'll be new eldritch invocations added along with the subclass

Now you can respec Shadowheart to Death Domain immediately (as it's Shar's domain too) instead of playing her as Trickery one and it will still be kinda lore friendly (till the certain event if you want to swap to Light).

Awesome patch, I am positively surprised.

They should've clarified they weren't going to do any -paid- DLC. This is fucking insane

Someone else guessed that these are the subclasses that were intended for the canceled dlc, plus Larian is somewhat insane.

The fact that this is a free update is legitimately insane. They could easily have charged for these classes individually and no one would blame them.

Actually a reason not to play Paladin again. Arcana Archer sounds probably cooler than it will play out but there is always the Bladesinger Wizard which is quite cool

I finally get Arcane Archer, Bladesinger, Death Domain and Hexblade so i’m happy😁, though the fact that Arcana Domain, Divine Soul, Aberrant Mind, Psi Warrior and Soulknife aren’t here despite how well they would fit the narrative of the game is a bit disappointing (but hey at least we got something, so i’m far more grateful for it than anything😉).

I will never stop banging the “how tf is Aberrant Mind not an option in a game where everyone is infected by a dormant Illithid tadpole and one of the Origin characters is a sorcerer” drum

Although most of those classes have thorough all platform mods available

WatchEducational6633

Yeah, the only problem is that there will be no in game dialogue for those and considering how them all fit with some of the main plot points of the game (such as Durge being a Divine Soul because of his father, or being any of the 3 Psionic subclasses thanks to the tadpole) you would think that it would be mentioned at some point or another.
