Oathbreaker Build: Attribute Points

Which attributes should I focus on? With your paladin, you should primarily focus on charisma and secondarily on strength. Constitution could be worthwhile as a third attribute, since this value gives you more life points.

When it comes to the attributes, make sure that you pay attention to even numbers instead of odd numbers, otherwise you will not benefit from improved dice values. You can find more about the attributes in our overview.

Oathbreaker Build: Talents

How does talent work? In Baldur’s Gate 3, at levels 4, 8, and 12, you can choose a talent to add to your build. However, if you don’t like a talent, you can instead put 2 points in your desired attributes again.

What talents do I need? In this case, we advise you to rely on the following talents per level:

  • Level 4: Not a talent, but improving skills
  • Charisma should be brought to level 16. Remaining points can be invested in strength and constitution.
  • Level 8: Heavy Weapons Mastery
  • function: Causes when you kill a creature or land a critical hit (20 rolled) that you can still use your bonus action to cast a main attack. You can also take -5 on your hit roll if you want (you roll first to hit and you have to match at least the opponent’s armor class). If you hit despite the -5, you can pack 10 additional damage points on top of the damage rolled normally.
  • Level 12: Striker
  • Function: When you use your action to dash, you can perform a melee attack or knock a creature away as a bonus action. If you have traveled at least 10 feet in a straight line before taking this bonus action, you either get a +5 bonus on your damage roll (if you chose the melee attack and hit) or you knock the target up to 10 feet away from you (if you decided to push the opponent away and succeed).

    • In our overview you will find a ranking of all talents and which are the best for all classes.
