Aura of Hate | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

People will waste gold on this stupid ass class b4 they realise the buff is assbackwards. Nice to see that hex of warlock is another shithead translation that is just damage defeating the whole utility of it as a hex for saves. To think they designed a whole act on things this can buff so you can have a minimal damage boost while fodder fcks up your team. Such a shitheaded design all around.

Why, why would you make such an already niche buff only apply to two things giving them small damage buffs and not only that but make it help enemies!? Like I remember that time lord soth ****ing died to three skeletons with swords because his hatred invigorated them.

Can you have aura of protection and aura of hate at the same time?

Submit

How should it stack..the aura is owner exclusive.apart from affecting cambions.and no same auras never stack..you can have each status effect only once..

Submit

does it stack if you have two auras of hate next to each other?

Submit

picking up weapons does not work (anymore) at least not with the weapons discribed in the post..treid it with club of hill giant strength and some others..only examine is possible by right clicking..so aura of hate is utterly useless for summons unless you have summoned a cambion..which is worse than djinn and deva even with the aura

kinda wish this worked better sounds like people dislike it but is a cool idea but i feel like if you want a good summoner/ pet build go ranger or wizard ranger pets are pretty good and there is a lot of options plus you can just snipe from range wizard can have better undead pets i think and can summons multi skellies pretty low lvl but i still like the idea of being a death knight like paladin but i feel like if this worked the way everyone wanted it would be the most op class

3m is rlly low, make it at least 6m.

Does it work with a throwing weapon?

Submit

I applied the aura of hate to both zombies and skeletons and then tested damage. The aura DOES NOT WORK for either of these, not for zombie melee, skeleton melee or skeleton ranged.

HOWEVER, there is a useful "feature" of zombies and skeletons: they can pick up certain melee weapons and use them in combat, receiving the aura of hate buff properly. Be careful, though; these weapons are lost upon death.

To my testing, equippable weapons include unique (magic) rapiers (e.g. Sword of Screams), greataxes, greatswords (e.g. Githyanki Greatsword), clubs (e.g. Club of Hill Giant Strength), quarterstaves (including magical staves), heavy crossbows, spears, and longswords which have "finesse" (the bard sword, Phalar Alune or whatever). Only the melee options give the aura of hate bonus.

Please let me know if there is any way to generate melee weapons which the animated dead can interact with, in any way!

Any one test with our summoned undead?

So lemme get this straight.

Due to the way this is written, it only counts for attacks with weapons. And due to the way it is written again, it effects everyone in that range regardless of being friend or foe.

So since almost all undead you can control don't use weapons, the skeleton minion who does uses a *ranged* weapon, and almost all fiends are hostile against you, this essentially just buffs the Oathbreaker and select enemies actively trying to kill him.

This can't be right, right? Tell me I'm getting this wrong. I beg you.

Submit

Do Wyll and Astarion count?

Submit

fun fact, if you kill the oathbreaker and keep him in your inventory you have a permanent aura of hate.

Submit

3m is a tolerable figure.

Submit

How are you supposed to use this? I've only seen it work on the paladin themselves and undead that are controlled by the paladin that happen to have melee weapons. Animate zombie/skeletons doesn't work

Submit

Can you toggle this on & off for the undead/fiend heavy encounters?

Submit

"additional damage dealt with melee weapon" - it states melee weapons, not melee attacks, therefore unarmed strikes from zombies would not benefit from this feature. This is a double edged sword however, as not only will ally fiends and undead be effected by this (with melee weapon attacks) but so will enemy fiends and undead.

More than likely this is better suited for an evil playthrough, where you align yourselves with the fiends/undead natured beings so they aren't using your own buffs against you.

Submit

Would this stack with improved pact/pact of the blade or do they essentially do the same thing?

Submit

Does this mean it has been changed from the original rules? in 5e its +CHA modifier, have they nerfed it to 2?

I have seen on other classes something similar, like with tempest sorc getting a flat 3 damage on their mini tornados instead of 1/2 their character level

Submit

Do the attacks of summoned undead of an ally necromancer (zombies and skeletons) benefit from this?

Submit

It is not 2 (of damage), it is the charisma modifier
