I want to make Wyll a Hexblade Warlock, however, whenever I search for a Hexblade build, people use Shadow Blade and shield or dual wield Shadow Blade + something.
I'm trying to avoid that, probably by using two-handed weapons, like a regular Bladelock. Would that be possible? How viable would it be compared to the standard Hexblade + Shadow Blade build?
why is it so hard to keep going on an evil run?
i betrayed zevlor and instantly felt like a fucking austrian painter.
maybe evil runs aren’t for me
I’m finishing up Act 1 right now (only the Hag and the Spider left) with a 7 companion party on a modded setup, and I honestly didn’t expect it to be this fun.
I’m using Tactician Enhanced with 170% enemy HP and +1 action for enemies, plus a bunch of feat/elixir rebalances (STR elixirs only give flat STR now, Bloodlust got nerfed hard, Vigilance is just +2 initiative, and stuff like GWM, Tavern Brawler, and Sharpshooter aren’t insanely broken anymore) I’m also playing with d20 initiative.
And somehow all of that together just makes the game feel better. Fights last longer, positioning actually matters, and encounters don’t instantly turn into “who oneshots first.”
But the biggest surprise has honestly been running 7 characters. The amount of companion banter and random interactions is so good. It makes the group feel like an actual traveling party instead of just 4 optimized builds.
Current group is:
Moon Druid Tav
OH Monk Karlach
Glamour Bard Astarion
EK Thrower Lae’zel
Light Cleric Shadowheart
Bladelock Wyll
Cold Sorc Gale

Just lost my HM to Shar’s elevator so now I need some advice on a nature themed party comp.
Initial idea is:
moon druid
hunter ranger
paladin ancients (idk, paladin not being the MC is kinda ass imo)
4th member idk
wildheart barb maybe? nature cleric?
