Baldur's Gate 3 - The Deadly Dream (Sleep/Dark Urge Build)

Dissonant Whispers, sleep spells, Sir this is an ASMR build 😄

Im about to become this games worst nightmare. The lullaby of Bhaal

Crown of madness = Night Terrors Hold person = sleep paralysis

wait... YOU WHISTLE AS A BARD when you're instrument isn't equipped? Dude, its been a year and I'm still learning new things about this game

The Eepy Urge: "Long rest? No guys, it'll be just a short nap, trust me!"

Looking at this build, I wonder if there is a Pied Piper type build. Basically a bard who uses a flute to summon or gain control of enemies or something like that. I think that would be sick.

As a person who's had insomnia for as long as I can remember, your justification for Confusion is EVIL. I love it XD Dark Urge torture technique. You're tired? No sleep for you. Suffer in insomnia while I torture you for my daddy. These builds are so cool XD

I had a thought. If instead of a Drow. You make a human that looks like his face is burnt with Janath's hat. This build could work for Freddy Kruger with a few levels of monk and vicious mockery. [Especially because of his one liners]

You ever think about a volo build? In bg3 he’d be an obvious bard but his dnd lore might throw in some wizard or wild magic sorcerer

I think Slow is very underrated. For a level 3 spell, you can pick 6 targets to cripple. They lose half their move speed, so melee targets potentially lose half their turns (also this negates Grym's Honor bonus, making it much easier to get him in place for the hammer). They can also only attack one time, so melee enemies lose any extra attacks. They only get either an action or bonus action, so a lot of enemies will just jump somewhere and end their turn. Going along with it, the Heightened Spell Metamagic from Sorcerer is also underrated. It gives disadvantage on saving throws against any spell - to all targets, no matter how many. That's generally about 25-30% extra success chance. Not just for Slow, but for Hold spells, Dominate Person, etc.

I’ve been sitting here thinking about making a character inspired by Banshee/siryn from marvel/X-men or black canary from dc comics. This build kinda fits, just need to trade out a few sleep themed spells for what I could head canon as sonic attacks, like thunderwave, shatter, silence, etc and it might work. Thank you.

I love that soft and sweet murder vibes on the Durge

The Cherished Staff of Necromancy seems like a good pick for a off hand weapon due to how many necromancy spells you're going to use, while also getting 1+ AC from the Dual Wielder trait. Excellent build I think i'll try it on my next Durge playthrough!

Actchually, colour spray also has a hit point treshhold

La petite mort Always wanted to make a pc dream assassin that uses dream to eliminate there target with nightmares

Hypnotic Pattern seems like a good fit

What a very cool idea! I’ll definitely be using this in muiltpayer dark urge play through

The amount of times that you had to clarify that this is NOT a Bill Cosby build. Lmao

Thematically it would be great for Astarion.Luring people to sleep near/with him only to feed on them once they're asleep. After all isn't it exactly what he's doing to tav?

I'm definitely pairing this with my Honour Mode roguelock Tav.
