March 27, 201510 yr Hi - if anyone knows me from the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition forums you'll know that I loved playing Bards, especially Blades, which are basically dual-wielding high DPS rogues that can buff themselves with magic to enhance their abilities. What would be a suitable starting class/race/ and stats choice to create something similar in Pillars of Eternity? Thanks! "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
March 27, 201510 yr Author Would starting as a chanter be more appropriate or a rogue? BTW this thread should have gone in the " Character Builds" forum section, could a moderator/admin possibly move this? Thanks "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
March 27, 201510 yr Author Chanter's seem quite passive in Pillars of Eternity, though, which my Baldur's Gate Blades certainly weren't... "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
March 27, 201510 yr Rogue has several active abilities, but if you want the flavor of the bard- spells, song- chanter is the class for you. Check sensuki's youtube he has builds for two weapon rogue and tank chanter.
March 27, 201510 yr Chanter is def. more blade-esque as they, well, chant -- but you might also want to consider the cipher. No chanting, but pretty wack gameplay: you do regular combat with "soul whip" enabled to charge up your Focus, then use Focus to fire off some fairly badass spell-likes. You could easily make a dual-wielding flashy type for that. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com
March 27, 201510 yr Sounds like you'd like the Cipher. They're pretty much spell swords. Website uses deep learning to suggest a class in PoE!

I found these Youtube videos from Sensuki that might be relevant: Melee Cipher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KjC_LL6AHA Dual-Wield Rogue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRwkgukZmvw Tank/Summon Chanter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahbkkeu9kI0 None of them are quite like a Bard/, the Melee Cipher is perhaps the closest, though a chanter seems more like an ordinary bard Edited March 28, 201510 yr by Oxford_Guy "My name is Inigo Montoya.

March 28, 201510 yr Author Your first link and your second link are the same link. Oops! Now edited "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
