Lae zel feat level 4 reddit The main stat you care about is STR. Make sure to check her proficiency/gear. Final Builds: I know some like to go for a 1 level dip for that final level in say War Cleric or Barbarian or what have you, but I'd rather have that 4th feat considering 2H weapon users already have so many must-have feats. I don't want to change her class or anything, just want to know what abilities and feats will make her the best fighter. i played him as a true duelist, flipping around, disarming people and throwing them to the ground with athletics expertise. It gives +5 initiative and you cannot be surprised. Finally, Lucky is one of the best feats. Maybe not the best build but it’s very effective and fits Lae’zel nicely. So the strength barb gets hit slightly more often, but the unarmored barbarian should get hit exactly as often as Lae'zel. Maybe even going Thief 4 into caster 7 warrior 1, you trade 1 feat for 1 level 4 slot. Always 45% or lower it seems no matter what.

With precise shot and 21 str, you can land those hits and deal a lot of damage. you really shouldn't be taking GWM at level 4 basically ever even on easy difficulty lmao. Imo the canon low to mid tiers are Astarion (don’t have much in terms of feats or statements with him before the game, but he’s definitely got plenty of tricks up his sleeve and is capable) Lae’zel (definitely pretty skilled but still pretty green judging by what we know, so around level 5, maybe 7 if we’re generous) Minthara (we don If you get 3 feats, I'd go with the standard great weapon mastery, ASI Charisma, and savage attacker. I'm at level 4 with my main a sword bard covering all the sneaky/stealie and face stuff (only a little cc like faerie fire and hold). Assemble a party of champions and master the art of Formation Strategy. Those dice on Gale really help. I save first level slots for the Shield spell, which makes me feel ok about rocking the Psionic Ward Armor even though it has lower AC. EK 6 makes you caster level 2, so you can get up to 4th level spell slots this way. Astarion Githyanki by nature are violent and blunt so Larian have nailed the personality for Lae'zel. Im on Explorer as its my second time playing (though i am on act 2 and specifically avoided lea’zel so i could save her as the other time i tried she ended up dying i also only maade it half way through act 2 on my first play through and restarted because there were things i forgot to do) So at level 4, getting ASI and put that stat to 19, or get a feat that gives a stat as well, and put it on 18, are actually the same thing, plus, you get a feat. Also learns Crusader's Mantle And lastly, you get your 3rd Feat and don't lose one if you stay pure Paladin Lae'zel - EK Fighter Gale - Div. At level 10, open Fighter. Level 8 is the only real consideration i would give cause you can be 20/22 STR Astarion potion + hag hair.

No wasted attribute points this way. Legendary D&D 5e magic items intended for level 20 characters do not go to +4 to hit.

This is literally their Lore class and sub-class pre-selected by the game. Feats in order will be Tavern Brawler, Savage Attacker, and ASI for 20 Strength.

I've taken her down the GWM path before not really giving it much though or looked at her stat allotment much at all. Menacing attack and Riposte make you much more likely to get an attack off with her reaction (menacing will have the enemy run away, and riposte gives a counterattack if the enemy misses). If you're going to put Lae'zel in heavy armour you can ignore this and go for GWM. Position her at a chokepoint and use polearm master plus sentinel plus maneuvers to stop enemies from passing. Being able to get advantage on saving throws is a godsend for Act Three. She's also plenty handy with a bow.

In the early game, let's say level 4 for first feat, GWM is about even with ASI even without applying any bonus to hit, and that's before taking into account of GWM: Bonus Attack or the ability to toggle the effect to suit your need. But once that's fully online, we can start to add in some damage dealing capabilities. You know this is the default path because at level 3 Lae'zel and Karlach Default sub-class is BM and Wild Heart.

I’d like for her to be the main DPS (outdoing Astarion) and rather than being tanky, have her dodge any attacks instead. Her role is keeping enemies where they belong: near her and away from everyone else. ) Yes in most scenarios. you can do this at level 4 by rolling 17 str (dump another stat like cha or wis, or compromise on con for now,) and combining with a certain act 1 quest reward, and Slot 4 Deekin Overconfidence Spec: Boss Wants Speed Havilar Requires Dembo out and Fiends in an area to function Hew Maan Walking Lessons, We're a Treant!, The Path is Clear Slot 4 Lae'zel No Time To Explain, Hurry Up!
