As Much as I Love Gloomstalker/Assassin/Champion Astarion...

This honor mode run has turned me to a new religion, the belief that Monk-starion is in fact the way, the truth, and the life, Amen.

The Raphael fight wasn't so much a fight as much as it was Astarion stunning his ass every single round and beating the ever living shit out of him while the rest of the crew played Cambion Clean Up. What legendary actions? Never saw a single one. I was fully planning on my Durge Bard/Paladin to keep hold monstering him every turn but I ended up being able to use those spell slots for thunder smites instead!

Open Hand Monk 8/Thief 4 for anyone who would like to also convert. I took ASI Dex, Tavern Brawler, and Alert for my feats. I'll post a more detailed breakdown and my strategy with him later but just...damn.

#i really am not kidding when i say all you need to get through honor mode is a monk and a bard in your crew #open hand monk astarion has saved my ass in this playthrough so many times #he can take out people so fucking fast #not me in a low key durge mood like “the way he efficiently murders people is just so attractive”#but it's true #btw still love that “standard astarion build" like it is so so good #I threw it on minsc this time around with every “lower crit by 1” item and arrow of many targets in faerun and that was fire #bg3 #astarion #bg3 astarion #bg3 monk #bg3 honor mode #bg3 honour mode #bg3 builds #bg3 raphael #house of hope #spite plays
