I'm not so precious as to think that a video game character performing a certain sex act on my avatar makes me gay or whatever. I just think that in this economy, her with those razor claws poking around the holiest of holies might be a lil too reminiscent of my broke ass being stuck buying the 1-ply bog roll. It's like sandpaper. Rough times, man.

Also the resident pegger should have been Shadowheart. The online crashouts would have been legendary.

So just ahead of the post - this is my first time writing a guide like this, I'm not an expert at all, have not got all th3 equipment memorized, and this might not be the most optimal build for her. But it's been a ton of fun, and imo, works well with her personality and history.

So Jahiera. I struggled with how to build her as I didn't want to go pure druid and am trying to stay lore friendly this run. Fighter wasn't scratching the itch. And we want something that is true to her fighting, scheming background as well as her druid roots. Therefore I present:

The Swashbuckling Circle of Spores Druid.

So far I've taken 4 rogue, 7 COS druid. I consider COS lore friendly at this stage of her life due to her age, and that one thing we find in her basement that shows us she has been contemplating her mortality and the age of her body. Swashbuckling rogue plays on her sass, her skills with her blades, as well as her very long history of sneaking around with the Harper's and "sticking our noses where they don't belong," as she puts it. Very rogue like to me.

At swashbuckler 3, we get rakish audacity, giving us +2 to initiative. At level 4 we get bonus actions of Vicious mockery, flick o' the wrist, and sand toss for dirty tricks. I use flick o the wrist often (rarely fails) and vicious mockery the most (edit: based on charisma, is a wisdom save. Plus hearing jaheria tell someone to go back to the anus they crawled out of does not get old.)

Circle of Spores gives us all my fave druid spells (call lightning, my beloved,) access to wildshape, but also the halo of Spores reaction for a 3d attack (only 1 to 4 necrotic damage, but damage is damage) and the option of raising a spore zombie summon from fallen enemies and allies.

Feats: take +2 wisdom for ability improvement and then the alert feat (she's seen it all, but you could do ability improvement again to bump her dex.)

Equipment: I gave her the Gloves of Dexterity to bump her dex to 18, and the elegant studded armor (+2 initiative.) She's also dual wielding her scimitar and two hand crossbows.

I'm still tinkering with this build, but so far has been a lot of fun and she now rarely leaves my party. Would love thoughts on how it can be improved!

Hello! Another BG3 migrant. So because I do not grasp the concept of moderation, back when there was a supersale I bought the regular DOS2, DOS2 developers cut, AND DOS2 enhanced edition (if two of those are the same and I just somehow installed it twice under a different name, just assume I am an idiot.)

Just wondering if there's one that the people would recommend over the other. If it helps, I'm quite comfortable now with BG3s mechanics, will probably start with classic mode, and plan to fuck the skeleton.

Thank you all in advance and have a great day.
