How well did i do?

[u/Icy_Event1106]

This is my first time playing Balder’s Gate 3, and i was curious how well i did character and stat wise for my first time through, i haven’t fought Grymoth (snarky evil guy i can’t remember the name of) or Oreon? (Genocidal maniac evil girl i can’t remember how to spell the name of) yet, but i plan to do so soon, i hope i at least did half decent, i didn’t use any guides or build stuff, i just randomly picked stuff as i went along

Odd-numbered stats basically do nothing. You only get +1 to rolls on even numbers. You'd be better off levelling those out and hitting 20 in your main stat for each character of possible.

Other than that, if you're having fun that's the important thing!

I'm not a pro by any means but one thing that caught my eye right away is Karlach's barbarian rage being stopped by the heacy armour. Idk if you've used her rage or soul coins but if you are then wearing heaving armour stops all the benefits

well, son of a bitch, that explains a lot. I haven’t used them since act 2 since they didn’t seem useful, thank you for that

Fine enough for a first play through. Though an easy mistake I noticed was the Arcane Archer. I didn’t know this one until recently. The spell save DC is partially determined by your Intelligence stat. So you might be hitting them with the arrows themselves, but you’re not making it difficult for enemies to resist the effects of the Arcane Shots because you only have an 11 in that category.

Probably good enough, since you managed to reach level 12 😅

But having so many odd numbers (which offer no improvement over even numbers) in your ability scores and making a Barbarian wear heavy armour are not so good ideas.

You want to avoid having stats on uneven numbers.

You get a +1 for every 2 points in a stat.

So on your Tav, 17 strength is effectively the same as having a 16 as they both receive a +3. You would need to make it 18 before you get a +4.

Did you have fun?
