BG3 Braindrain Gloves Notes and tips
- Notes and tips go here.
A solid ranged build for an Arcane Trickster with this is to have the feat Two-Weapon Fighting, and dual wield Hand Crossbows. As another feat, pick up War Caster, equip the Strange Conduit Ring and cast Detect Thoughts, and you'll deal 1d4 Psychic Damage with each attack and 4 turns of Mental Fatigue per round with an single Level 2 cast that maintains constant concentration. If your first attack uses an Arrow of Many Targets, you can cover a massive number of enemies at once.
Pick up the Psionic Backlash Illithid Power to deal 1d4 psychic as a reaction and toss on the Circlet of Psionic Revenge to deal 1d4 any time you make a save against a foe.
Add the Helldusk Boots to allow you to force a successful save as a reaction, and the Shelter of Athkatla clothing giving advantage against spell saves makes this work even better for staying at range.
This really opens up a TON of potential for having another party member as a Caster specialize in Fear, Illusion, & other Mind-affecting spells to synergize off of this, as well as melee fighters who use Intimidation and other terror tactics, which will allow the Rogue to gain advantage and Sneak Attack more easily, and opens up a lot of interesting avenues for tactics other than just raw damage output.
