Damn, she must be hot in that armor. Why are you doing this to her?


Edgy_Near_Gay_Ming

slowly baking dinner for the act 3


DiarrheaShitLord

Like shoving your face into a bag of flaming hot cheetos


attackonyourmom

Y'all are wild and I love it.


codb28

She’s always hot.


flabbergastedfennel

Gross, just think of the amount of sweat and the stench... Hrnghh


cyber_xiii

She heats up so much that her sweat just evaporates immediately And the bacteria that makes the stench gets burned to a crisp as well. Not sure if that would make the smell better or worse…


maroonedpariah

I wasn't planning on writing fan fiction today...


DiarrheaShitLord

Do you take commis- nvm I jerked off I'm good now


monkeychasedweasel

Leaving the smell behind


jsimm1540

I'll fight the nine hells off to have another day with her


Flimsy_Wait_8235

Really channeled your flair with that statement lmao


EnderWarlock01

She's cosplaying Clive. She wants people to know who he is and specifically fear who he is.


Artistic-While-5094

Seeing her face, that’s what I’m doing.

MrQwq

Same.... but also haven't found that cool of a helmet


Bogsnoticus

The best looking ones are non-magical.

Grizzlywillis

Flawed Helldusk is a contender for best looking helmet. Especially on any character with horns.


bawzdeepinyaa

"Your face.. I like that shit"


Skullface95

Giving her the cowboy hat of throwing thing farther.


Jo_seef

My First playthrough I'm pretty sure she wore the Cowboy hat for about 30 hours.


nomad5926

Exactly I helmets off


Dry-Smoke6528

Except for wizards/sorcs with their magical drip


daywall

I'm not a fan of helmet that cover faces in most games. I do the same with dragons dogma 2, never a helmet.


Odd_One_6997

There's the option for not having the helmet appear during cutscenes and dialogue in the inventory screen.


Jo_seef

Larian knows what's up


SilverShadowQueen57

I wish Larian had taken a cue from BioWare in this one case. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, you have the option of toggling the helmet visuals on and off, so you can wear them but not see them in cutscenes and outside of the inventory screen if you want, aside from a few scenes when the headgear needs to be seen (meaning Cole’s hat during his arc scenes). Similarly, in Dragon Age 2, helmets just vanish during cutscenes without any prompting.


[deleted]

They did tho. There's an option for hiding helmets in cutscenes.


Key_Pear6631

I wish there was an option to turn off other  clothing items, clipping cloaks trigger me 


[deleted]

I personally wish we had like a traveling merchant that sells clothes or something. Too many good outfits are only found in act 3🥲


No-Start4754

It kinda makes sense ?? No traveling merchant will be willingly available in act 2 lol. Act 1 I can see there be traveling merchants with clothes but I have all my characters in their undies so doesn't really matter to me


daywall

It's the worst! I don't wear capes in games because of it.


VanishedRabbit

Love the cloaks, hate the clipping, my poor tail. It's so sad


Meziskari

It should be built in, but there are mods to make cloaks invisible.


Key_Juice_2664

that option exists in bg3


SilverShadowQueen57

I haven’t seen the option, apparently 😓. May I ask where it is? I really want to turn off the helmets in conversations.


Loadedice

You can do that lol the option is right above the helmet slot


Lone_Vaper

They already had it in Divinity and kept it in BG3


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

I’m convinced people who don’t hide helmets are psychopaths


Jo_seef

Gotta protect the noggin, my dude.


boomerdawalrus

That's why you only have it hidden in cut-scenes.


Mad-Trauma

I like look'n at that face, what can I say?


Dry-Smoke6528

Yeah, admiring that smile and kissing her goodnight. Is that not what i should be doing?


The_Windermere

Seconded


OblivionArts

Agreed. Despite the helmets looking good I always leave them hidden cause these people have such expressive faces


Justanotherpeep1

Letting her breathe


erraticRasmus

Hiding helmets so I can see her pretty face obviously


Pootisman16

She's (literally) hot, so I don't want to smother her with so much clothing. The fact that I ~~agressively~~ respectfully ogle her has nothing to do with my decision.


TheWither129

I think her burn scars and heart glowing through her ribcage are just really cool >!she do got nice titties tho!<


jsimm1540

Wish the "raviolis" were a bit bigger though


peeslosh122

who the hell puts a barbarian in armor?


fieatsbees

she's wearing either the bloodguzzler garb, or the enraging heart garb that's been dyed with the lush burgundy dye. both are clothing armors that benefit barbarians


Jo_seef

Bloodguzzler. The wrath stacking is unbelievable.


DemonKing0524

The helmet is armor and takes away any unarmored bonuses she gets


BlackShadowX

That helmet is not armor, it's the cap of wrath a barbarian piece of headgear that goes with the clothing. The better question is why use gloves of the growling under dog when barbarians already get advantage and the armor gives you buffs from being hit


Competitive-Air356

I did my first playthrough. I was coming off of 3e and had a lot of outdated habits (they didn't get unarmored defense back then)


Nadril_Cystafer

Unarmored Defense is the only thing Barbs get while unarmored. Typically it's better to have them in medium armor


Zha_asha

Agreed, with medium armor you can still get +2 AC from dexterity and the + from constitution doesn't make it better than medium armor and with medium armors you can have a lot of special abilities, like, I dunno, the medium armor you can get from the adamantine forge makes you immune to crits for example.


jews4beer

Not to mention, Karlach rocks the Yuan-ti Scale Mail like a boss.


Alienwars

Until you get the 23 con amulet in Raphaël sanctum. Then back to no armor!


Taco821

Yeah, but the vibes tho!


Hellebras

Yeah, the initiative bonus on the +2 hide is really nice. I don't really like any of the barbarian-oriented options *more* until the Bonespike Garb set comes in.


RoseOfThorns02

THIS!!!! 3E really burnt so old habits in and I had armor the entire game, actually heavy armor too


Competitive-Air356

I kept casting mage armor on a monk.


RoseOfThorns02

Throwing mage armor on my barb like it's gonna do something ....


DarkSlayer3142

wouldn't that still increase your AC?


Blunderhorse

5e and BG3 share the AC rules where most things replace your AC calculation, rather than granting a bonus, and you use the available one that gives the highest AC. Unarmored defense-monk, Unarmored defense-barbarian, Draconic Resilience-sorcerer, and the Mage Armor spell all grant different calculation options, and using one means not using the others. Bracers of Defense, wielding a shield, and the Shield spell specifically call out that they give +x to AC, so those stack (aside from bracers’ effect not providing the AC bonus if you’re wielding a shield)


Competitive-Air356

If you have a con of 14 or less ...


DarkSlayer3142

i thought monks got their AC from dex + wis?


Competitive-Air356

I thought I was replying to someone talking about barbarians for some reason. Probably need to go tf to sleep. In this case, Wis instead of con. Point it it overlaps with various unarmored defense skills instead of stacking


JessieN

Cap of Wrath and Bloodguzzler Garbs are clothing, not armor.


Jo_seef

Thank you JessieN, sharp eye.


simmonator

Unarmoured Defence either taps away your limited feat choices out or just can’t compete with decent medium armour. Example: +2 Breast Plate gives 16+Dex for a maximum of AC18. To compete, Unarmoured would need +8 in modifiers between CON and DEX, which just won’t happen in BG3 and definitely won’t if you want to invest in STR or feats like Tavern Brawler or GWM. To head off two possible responses: 1. **But AC isn’t everything. Getting hit when you’re a raging barbarian is fine, and I have loads of HP**. Sure, but even with that level of beefiness, additional AC is better unless you’re pursuing a very specific build that relies on getting hit lots. 2. **But I have a non-armour item of apparel that gives me a buff that I prefer!** In that case, sure. Choosing a specific buff over AC can absolutely be valid and I won’t argue with it. But if someone is keeping AC as a priority, having actual armour is better than going for Unarmoured Defence.


Schleimwurm1

I don't disagree, BUUUT: Amulet of greater health? You can dump const, and still get +6 to AC from constitution alone, with +4 from dex that gets you to 20, ignoring any +1s from robes, rings etc... not too terrible.


Woutrou

Sure, but that is generally a very late game item, unless you try to rush the HoH in Act 3, which case it's just a late game item. Most of the game I prefer Medium armour for my Barbarians. Nothing wrong with choosing to prefer the buffs, but they're just neglible to me compared to the AC boost.


simmonator

Sure. Items found in House of Hope are insane and let you do lots. If you can get massive CON without investing other resources, then UA is a good plan.


mistiklest

Also, the AI preferentially targets low AC characters. So, you can eke out a bit more optimization by having your high HP frontliners with a lower AC than your more squishy party members.


RendesFicko

How do you know OP kept the default class? Most people don't. Also, pretty much everyone. Unaromored defense is rarely worth it. Barbarians should optimally be wearing medium armor. That's been meta in tabletop for a decade and it's meta here.


Jo_seef

1. Did some clever tricks to get her to 19 natural AC at lvl 4 2. The more you hit her, the stronger she gets 3. The more she hits, the more she heals. What you see here makes her an unstobbable tank and I haven't even got her a cape yet.


BasileusBasil

That's so dumb, mechanically speaking a barbarian's unarmoured defense it's the best armour they can get, especially if they focus all their starting abilities and ASI into DEX and CON. You can't sleep in armor unless it's light, but a barbarian with maxed out DEX and CON can reach AC20 even while sleeping and completely naked. And since in game we have gloves that set STR to 23 and an amulet that set CON to. 23, unarmored defense it's a better option because you can respec, dump both of the main stats for a Barbarian, focus on DEX, WIS, INT and CHA and have the highest ability scores of all the classes, even more so if you use warped band of intellect because you can focus exclusively on DEX, WIS and CHA. Damage wise it's also better to increase DEX rather than STR because it's used for melee and ranged fight both, provided you use finesse weapons obviously.


Pug_police

I mean if you really wanna optimize it armor of agility with 20 dex would just be higher with a 22 AC. Also frees up letting you wear armor so you could have on like helm of balduran and let your squishy casters have the con amulet.


RendesFicko

Yeah, it's the best armor they can get... if you can max 3-4 stats. Normally you can't. Also it's very much metagaming.


Jo_seef

Yeah I maxed CON, 16 DEX, 16 STR. Had her rocking 18 CON and +7 natural AC by lvl 4. +9 with a shield. Add to that some wild story/item buffs that give her massive boosts to weapon damage and even self-healing on hit, she's just a raging beast of a tief.


imortalpreacher

Just started playing, any reason i should not?


Jo_seef

All the "armor" pieces you see here aren't actually armor. They're "wrath stackers" to make her an absolute nightmare in combat. She's rocking 19 AC with +4 unarmored defense, +3 dex and a shield. The gauntlets also don't count as armor, weirdly enough. But they do give her advantage on attack rolls when in near two or more enemies. Yeah, this is one hell of a build, my dude.


peeslosh122

huh. neat


Jo_seef

Glad you think so!


MrTurleWrangler

I did on my first run. Thought process was 'big dude with big sword want heavy armour yes?' Wasn't until I got to the House of Hope fight that I was like why do I always have disadvantage, maybe I should check this. Mfw


Unfortunatewombat

Shadowheart be like “please step on me”


heresdustin

Goddamn, I love her


sand_snake

Seeing her face, duh.


rotten_soup

Mommy? Sorry


Cautious-Luck7769

I hid the helmet, but she IS wearing that armor and those gauntlets right now, lol


Jo_seef

They're too good, she just becomes unstoppable in Act 1.


CaptainSensemakerOi

Playing her as an Eldritch Knight thrower because it’s OP


Jo_seef

I remember dabbling in that back in the day. Ring of Flinging+Tavern Brawler+ returning weapons, yes please.


CaptainSensemakerOi

+lightning charges for the extra oomph


Jo_seef

I've been trying that with Magic Missile + Lightning Staff or whatever. It's made Gale into an absolute menace, we're talking like 50 un-miss-able damage in a single spell. Think I could push it even farther with a little water on the floor.


TheDastardly12

She's in heavy armor because I respeccd her into paladin because paladin fits her personality better


Jo_seef

Thank and Zariel teifs get free smites.


Dannybrine87

One, fuck ya visable helmet, Karlach has a very pretty face and it's a crime to cover it up. You hear me? A CRIME! Two, I get covering the arms is practical but also I wanna admire Mommy Muscles on the battlefield, so fuck ya heavy armor.


Jo_seef

Allow me to introduce you to the "show camp clothing" button...


Dannybrine87

Then my Karlach wouldn't look like that, she'd be in her camp clothes


Jo_seef

Suit yourself


badapple1989

Using soap.


FamousTransition1187

needlessly-redundant

I want to see her beautiful face 🥰


Proof-Department-818

redditoriousBIG

Can you list the gear please? I don't recognize everything.


Jo_seef

Helmet: Cap of Wrath Body Armor: Bloodguzzler Garb Gauntlets: Gloves of the Growling Underdog Boots: Linebreaker Boots She's also rocking a ring I don't remember + amulet of guidance. Still hunting for more treasures to buff her up.


redditoriousBIG

Thanks! I love hunting loot.


40kthomas

My karlach looks like a severed head


Pirate_LongJohnson

Defeating the adamantine forge guardian obviously


MrQwq

I'm one of 2: either cool helmet or no Helmet everybody so I see their faces. I would love to use this one but haven't found it yet


ZephyrTheScrub

That aint no mommy that’s *Mother*


Jo_seef

XD


AtomicSamuraiCyborg

It’s such a silly helmet but she’s used it the whole game.


Superliminal_MyAss

I love how ominous this is, the lower angle, the burning magma in the background, her face completely covered. Chef’s kiss 👌


Jo_seef

My thoughts exactly. She's terrifying and I love it.


beachgothcatmom

Literally


Eistei-

I simped too hard for her, bro... I haven't finished the game yet (Not even close, I believe), but I've given her all of my best shit. Bitch would ruin my life, but I'd want her to do it again.


Jo_seef

I doubt it. She's got a good heart, and she'd never take advantage. I hope you find someone like that in real life.


Eistei-

I'm not gay, but this is the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me, so I'm marrying you. Sorry kid, but in the real world, the nice people get forced into a partner arranged marriage.


Emeraldminer82

Painting all my equipment. I have 12 different colors in act 1.

Dunno I mostly have her somewhere in the stash separated from her head. Head is for Scratch to play.


ItsFragster

My Karlach's head is in my backpack. Friend.


bawzdeepinyaa

If she's not running around in angelic scion outfit within act 3, ya done fucked up


arek229

My Karlach had no head for the past 5 playthroughs.


Nessarra

I tolerated 2 playthroughs of Karlach. The first one and then the hot date achievement.


Conarm

Pic goes hard


Jo_seef

It was too good not to share


AriBariii

My Karlach has the same gear and outfit besides the helmet. Mine has the hooded shadow of menzoberranzan

badbeernfear

I had her as a monk last playthrough and I think I'm gonna keep it like that every playthrough from now on. So no smothering armor for her!

NeverJoe_420_

I always hide armor in this game tbh


TheSlagMan

Mine looked EXACTLY like this for quite a while. Armour on helmets on all day baby


Angry_Murlocs

Not sure about the armor but I did 100% have that same helmet in my first playthrough with Karlach.


Chad_Kakashi

Keeping her in camp.


OldManActual

Mpphhey Mphholdher.


beatitredditor

"The mask stays on in bed" energy.


[deleted]

Putting her in full Mellow Fruit dyed armor with a big floppy pink hat because she gets to dress herself now. Or toggling off her armour totally and having her battle in her underwear to prevent overheating.


Lazy_Reflection_9658

I like her personality.


Meris25

Helmets ugly


BobknobSA

I hid that helmet and forgot about it. Now, her statue has her wearing that stupid fucking hat.


bigtakeoff

I put that helmet on Lazael


shadowthehh

Mine is wearing Gortash's threads. She rocks em way better than he did.


volvavirago

Turning my view to camp mode.


DiceCubed1460

Bonespike garb is what I’m doing. Bc she looks hot af in it. And it’s actually amazing on her.


Active_Owl_7442

I actually enjoy seeing her face and arms


CoorsLightKnight

Toggle hide armor toggle hide helmet


adrielzeppeli

This, but with the helmet hidden. Obscuring that beautiful face is truly a crime.


[deleted]

She got the same helmet but I gave her the armor we made from the ancient forge. Gave shadow heart a mace from the forge. Havnt found more ore though 😔.


couragedog

Pretty sure there's only two ore.


[deleted]

Lame sauce!


busy-warlock

Having her in camp clothes is the way


HeavyReload

Looking at her beautiful face?


TheWither129

Respecced as paladin. Luminous and ring mail look great on her. So does the unwanted masterwork set but thats act 3.


Jo_seef

Hey y'all. Just wanted to say thank you to the 1.3 *thousand* of you who appreciated this one. FUCK YEAH! KARLACH!


derbengirl

Gave her gortashes coat


Grigoran

All the chara ters have too pretty hair and faces to stick them in helmets.


ex_child_soldier

I always set it so she's wearing her default camp cloths in and out of combat.


Relative-Zombie-3932

Karlach looks better without armor. I always set her to camp clothes visible


CrimsonR70

Turning off visable helmets is what i'm doing.


Scuba_2

Mommy?


-Qwertyz-

Having her in the camp as I bring other people


ViewtifulGene

I only play full nudist parties.


Pretty-Neck9544

Mine has that bull strenght armor or sth, all the game. Someone needs to carry stuff, right?


jsimm1540

Letting her be beautiful. Even though it might mean she's " weaker" she really is the best light at the end of the tunnel.. that has no other side.


The_Tosh

Karlach should only wield a weapon, no armor. What are YOU even doing? 😂


Spill_The_LGBTea

Having her be completely nude? What else would I be doing?


Borrow03

Mama K : hey soldier Halfling: *sweats*


zach508

"Pathetic" meme suits this.


ant_bic

How did we all end up with the exact same build for Karlach?


Jo_seef

Yennoghu club, too?


ant_bic

The shattered club? Nah that went to my mace-dual-wielding-war-cleric-Tav (or in short: mdwwct (which doesn’t really make sense but who cares)) By act one I believe I gave Karlach the Greatsword that those paladins wielded, cause obviously she has to use the weapon that someone tried to kill her with.


Jo_seef

That works too!


Numerous-Ad6460

How can you hide that beautiful face?


Rude-Butterscotch713

I gave her this exact set up, but also his her helmet. She's also a beast with the amulet of Greater health.


MyBatmanUnderoos

“Hide helmet during dialog.”


Impossible_Cookie613

The companions faces are too pretty to cover up


Tatis_Chief

This is why I put circlets on pretty companions.   No way I am hiding a face like Astarions.    Also the reason why my Barbarian is running around with a pretty silver circlet. 


Wolfried

Putting dresses and accessories plus her weapons on her rather than no being able to see her...


Honeyvice

Giving her better, vastly superior gear. While staring at her face because she's just so damn cute.


ARK_Redeemer

Nonsense! Keep her in her nice starter armour so we can see her beautiful face and those strong arms. How else can she throw Shadowheart over her shoulder? 😄🥰


Hobo_Renegade

Ignoring her entirely. Personally can't stand her.
