Semi-related fact: Knock and Speak With Animals are the best utility spells in Baldurs Gate 3, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Knock wastes a level 2 spell slot while thieves tools are plentiful. You can easily unlock anything with thieves gloves, don't even need a dex character. Speak with animals is replaced by a potion that most merchants sell for a few gold.
You don't really need that extra spell slot for a game that's not at all punishing in the combat department though, and having Speak With Animals memorized as a ritual is just much better QoL than having to buy and drink potions all the time IMO
Agree, I only go with Knock if I’m not carrying Astarion around for some strange reason. He’s such a bastard, but too useful in so many situations. I’m a potion hoarder though and I will likely finish my run with enough potions to start my own business.
I respecced Shadowheart as an arcane trickster rogue just so I didn't have to listen to Astarion any more. It actually suits her personality very well, I think.
She starts as a trickery domain claric, so thematically not too different. I don't see why Shar's followers wouldn't include some rogues, so it makes enough sense.
Smack the door with your sword. The only ones that don’t fall to my sword are arcane locked and astarion can lock pick those.
