For my next run I’m trying something less optimal for a challenge. My Tav will be a 8sorcerer/2cleric/2warlock from Thay.

Mostly he’ll use eldritch blast and call on his god.

I call it the Spray and Pray from Thay.

Anyone else have any silly build ideas to go with my Tav?

I’ve done a full band run already. Respec everyone to bard and let the shenanigans commence.

I've been planning Lae'zel as Bard / Gale as Barbarian next chance I get.

imho, the funniest/most difficult choices are not in character creation, but in roleplaying. make stupid choices outside combat. steal everything. steal nothing. murder everyone. murder as few as possible. talk to nobody. always go in disguise. don't recruit anyone to your party. etc etc

I did a run as a wild magic sorcerer with the feywild ring that makes your magic surge happen 100% of the time modded into act 1 and that was wild for RP. I basically played him as magic incarnate barely able to contain himself. Made for some interesting times when I'd forget that tides of chaos was active and use mage armor while standing in the grove or some other dumb thing. Kagha was not fond of being randomly turned into a dog.

that sounds extremely funny! i find it pretty tough making imperfect choices in BG3, my gamer brain wants to play it "correctly", it's easier at the real table with dnd

One of my games im playing a sasuage knight. Warrior3/Bararian6. You pick eldeich knight for the bound weapon and grab spirit animals for the barb. At lvl6 barb, pick the aspect of the chimpanze to blind tagrgets when you throw camping supplies at them. The rest is a standard throwing build but your primary weapon is the sasuage link that doubles as a basic club.

I was thinking of doing an Aqua Teen Hunger Force inspired run because of the post someone made the other day of Carl.

This build of yours will be my Meatwad.

Started a run with a friend of mine who did a monk dual-wielding sausages. Surprisingly viable.

I was working on a build-a-bear build. A druid/ranger combo, to have a bear as a companion and also transform into a bear. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the second bear companion due to the level cap. Though you could do a ranger/barb combo and be a bear in spirit instead, I suppose.
