How does it work exactly? BG3 wiki is not exactly helpful here. Is it the same as detect thoughts spell, with int ability check each time you pick the option?

Suffering from chronic restartitis I’ve just had an idea about a semi unique build I have not seen much discussion about anywhere. I’ve been wondering whether it would be viable or not.

As per title, the gist of the build is going full rogue- but instead of going full DEX we would keep it just high enough to gain +2 to AC and instead go full STR. The benefits of this would be:

• Longer jumps
• (literally) Reliable pushing thanks to profeciency in athletics and the lvl 11 reliable talent
• Sneak attack procs from throwing daggers, which combined with Tavern Brawler could do some serious damage - havent done the math though.
• More carry weight obviously
• could equip one of the ~~versatile~~ edit: finesseable longswords and take advantage of GWM while still being able to proc sneak attacks

The cons would be lower AC and worse sneaking and pickpocket, though the Reliable talent again would solve those issues at lvl 11.

As for the subclass Thief would work best for extra bonus action I think. Though assassin would probably work too? The guaranteed crit throw sneak attack would obliterate an enemy before the combat even started.

Have anyone tried this?

Edit: as for race obviously Githyanki and maybe Shield dwarf would work best for free Medium armor prof.

Edit2: fixed mistakes
