I do sorcerer/ranger. No, I don’t know what I’m doing. I just wanted dragon scales in my face. This is my first CRPG experience.
So we are back to stealthy archer?
Should I be multiclassing Astarion?
It depends what you are going for. Skill Monkey, maybe not as Reliable Talent is quite good.
But if you are looking to maximize combat effectiveness you will need 5-6 lvls in another martial/Gish class since Rogue is the only martial that doesn’t get extra attack.
The reason you are seeing Rogue on this list so much though is that it’s kinda amazing for multiclassing. It’s first 4 lvls are incredibly feature rich in ways that are good for basically every martial class and some caster builds.
Cunning Action is a hell of a drug. I have to consciously stop myself from dipping Rogue 2 in my irl tabletop games too, bonus action dash or disengage is literally game changing. It redefines everything you can do within a turn.
So stealth archer wins again?
It’s really useful for act 1 at least, where most casters have one spell, and it’s called “miss”.
