Baldur's Gate 3's new Giant Barbarian is beating out one of D&D 5e's oldest powergamer builds, making Karlach the MVP of my second Honour Mode playthrough

With Patch 8 of Baldur's Gate 3 landing earlier this month, I've saddled myself with the accursed duty of completing another Honour Mode playthrough. Given that Patch 8 gives me the constituent parts for one of D&D 5e's oldest powergamer builds, the Sorcadin, I reckoned I'd give it a go.

The Sorcadin, for the uninitiated, is a delectable entrée built on a fresh bed of one level of Hexblade Warlock, garnished with two levels of Paladin. It's then paired with as many levels of Sorcerer as you can fit on a plate.
