The starting class Metamorph showcases the Polymorph line of magic. While Larian Studios provides a simple first-level build, characters can be improved by adjusting start parameters and investing in an array of combat ski

For your first three skills consider Battle Stomp for area damage (it will deal elemental damage if you wield a staff, but will not Knock Down if the target has Physical armor). Take two of the three: Ignition to light enemies aflame, Searing Daggers to create Fire surfaces, and Haste to improve your AP regeneration. You will also have All In if you wield a two-handed weapon, or Staff of Magus ranged attack with an elemental staff. For the first Talent, Torturer will let you inflict Burn status even if enemies have Magical armor, or Opportunist to get free attacks on moving targ

Still, it can be somewhat immersion-breaking that these merchants have none of the items they were peddling to players before their death. This changes with the advent of the Full Loot mod, which ensures that merchants who have been struck down die with all their wares in their possession, allowing players to loot their bodies and obtain every single item without too much of a f

These extra potent talents are useful for making your party more dynamic. It is great when encountering tough battles or when exploring the world of Rivellon with friends. If you are debating on hunting for achievements or trophies, it is still good to review these talents and decide which is more import

Divinity’s bartering system is solid overall, but it does have one endlessly frustrating issue: the barter and persuasion skills used are character-dependent. That means if a player accidentally makes a trade with a non-bartering specialized character, they can kiss all their extra money and bartering bonuses good

Characters gain talent points at level 1, 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, and 33. Divinity Original Sin 2 is programmed for more points at higher levels, but due to the limited amount of experience points, it is likely most parties will complete the game at level 22

Melee attacks deal bonus fire damage to burning enemies, poison to poisoned targets, and physical damage to bleeding targets. This talent is only helpful if someone already has the Torturer talent, as it allows them to bypass enemy armor to apply burning, poisoned, or bleed. In that case, it can be good for melee characters that are backed by Necromancy, Pyrokinetic, or Geomancer. Another aspect to remember is that Intelligence-based fighters can wield staff weapons to deal fire and poison damage in me

Veterans who can't stand Divinity's combat balance need to give this mod a try. It does an excellent job of shifting Original Sin 2 's combat to a more tactical turn-based RPG than what Larian accomplished. Its Ascension system is also expertly done, granting the addictive character progression and build diversity seen in ARPGs without taking away from Original Sin 2 's CRPG ro

Divinity: Original Sin 2 allows for a wide range of builds that are all viable for all but the hardest content. Well, everything except for Necromancy. This school of magic is pitifully weak when compared to other archety

Equalise (3 Polymorph): Redistributes all armor and health to everyone equally. This can be used defensively to heal up weakened allies, and also rob armor and health from the enemy. Can be very situational, but a great tool in boss fig

Because Divine Talents are off during character creation, players will normally have to wait until level 3 for their first Gift Bag talent. However, this can be bypassed by not spending your first talent point, and then distribute it once in the campaign. You can also turn on the Fort Joy Magic Mirror Gift Bag and rush to the arena in order to retr

Updated on February 22, 2025, by Mati Kent-Nye: People who were lucky enough to experience the brilliance of Divinity: Original Sin 2 understand why the resurgence of the CRPG genre it brought was hailed by the masses. Without this game, Baldur's Gate 3 would not be the beloved revolutionary RPG it is today. After all, it is on the shoulders of Divinity 2 that Larian built Baldur's Gate 3, emulating what it did well while fixing story and pacing issues that served as minor problems in an otherwise perfect slg game collectibles. Whether players are getting into this title for the first time or clocking in another 100+ hour playthrough, these mods are sure to give them some more content to sink their teeth i

Thankfully, players can opt for the 8 AP mod instead, increasing this limit quite a bit and allowing them to be less stingy about using up their AP during every turn. While some people may argue that the game itself has an option for the same, enabling that form of 8 AP leads to achievements being disabled, which may not be ideal for some players who want to enjoy the best of both wor
