BG3 "Endless Critical Hits" Paladin Build

For my next playthrough. Build from YouTube user KhrazeGaming. Slightly different in this post, as he includes being specifically a Zariel Tiefling for this build, and also I got a gear rec from a comment.

ILLITHID ABILITY: Luck of the Far Realms

Also: I don't know at what level this is at but Vow of Enmity is recommended.

RECOMMENDED GEAR:

ACT 1: Everburn Blade (Dropped by Commander Zhalk on the nautiloid, so set that difficulty down and get smacking.)

[another helmet option] Grymskull Helm (Found after defeating Grym, I believe. In Grymforge)

Linebreaker Boots (Dropped by Beastmaster Zurk in Goblin Camp)

BG3 Powerful + Lore-Friendly Karlach Build

Also for my next playthrough. Taken from YouTube user Chaotic Loot

BARBARIAN

Abilities: 16(14+2) / 14 / 16 / 8 / 10 / 10

2: No options

3: Subclass: Wildheart: Bear Heart.

4: No options

FEAT: Great Weapon Master

5: No options

6: +PALADIN, OATH OF VENGEANCE

All levels from this point on will be Paladin.

7: Fighting Style: Defence. This build ignores spells entirely, so just take whatever.

8: Head to Withers and respec.

Abilities: 16(14+2) / 14 / 14(13+1) / 8 / 8 / 14

These abilities leave one point floating. Don't know where that goes.

RESPEC LEVELS: 3 Barbarian, 5 Paladin.

FEAT: Great Weapon Master

9: No options

10: No options

11: No options

FEAT: There's a lot of good options but he goes with Polearm Master. Sentinel is also good

12: Either no options or take another level in Barbarian for one last feat.

RECOMMENDED GEAR:

ACT 1: [weapon option] Sussur Greatsword (The way to get this is a little too convoluted to describe)

[weapon option] Skybreaker (found inside a heavy chest in front of the entrance of the Arcane Tower)

Harold (gotten from Zarys in the Zhentarim Hideout. I think she gives it to you if you do her quest but she also drops it if you kill her)

Grymskull Helmet (dropped by Grym)

[helmet option] Haste Helm (found in chest in Blighted Village, outside next to a wagon)

Adamantine Scale Mail (Made at the Adamantine Forge)

Ring of Protection (Reward from Mol for completing Steal the Sacred Idol)

ACT 2: Cloak of Protection (sold by Quartermaster Talli at Last Light Inn)

Halberd of Vigilance (Dropped by Lann Tarv at Moonrise, or sold by him after earning favor with Z'rell and asking for help). Best option esp if going with Polearm Master feat.

[another weapon option] Defender Greataxe (I'm 99% sure Quartermaster Talli sells this at Last Light Inn)
