Character Calculator

Example Data Table

Formula Used

This calculator uses a practical planning model. It is designed for build comparison. Real combat can vary because of surfaces, enemy resistance, gear, buffs, and positioning.

Attribute Bonus = max(0, Primary Attribute - 10) × 5%

Combat Bonus = Warfare or selected magic school × 5%

Style Bonus = selected weapon ability × 5%

Expected Critical Factor = 1 + Critical Chance × (Critical Damage - 1)

Damage Per Action = Base Damage × total bonuses × high ground × status modifier × resistance modifier × expected critical factor

Turn Damage = Damage Per Action × usable actions per turn

Effective Survival Pool = Vitality + weighted armor + constitution value + leadership value + perseverance value

Overall Score = Offense 45% + Defense 35% + Utility 20%

Character Build Guide

Build Planning Guide

A strong character in Divinity: Original Sin 2 starts with a clear job. Decide whether the hero must burst enemies, protect allies, control space, or support the party. Then place points around that job. This calculator helps by turning many small choices into one readable estimate.

Attributes

Strength, Finesse, and Intelligence usually drive damage. Choose the one that matches your weapon or spell plan. Constitution improves staying power. Memory adds room for skills. Wits improves initiative and critical chance. Balance is useful, but spreading points too widely can make a character feel weak.

Combat Abilities

Warfare supports physical damage. Element schools support magical plans. Huntsman rewards high ground. Scoundrel improves critical damage. Weapon abilities add style bonuses. The tool combines these parts so you can compare a fighter, archer, rogue, mage, or hybrid in seconds.

Talents

Talents shape how a build feels during combat. Lone Wolf can make one hero stronger when the party is small. Glass Cannon gives more action, but it also creates risk. Executioner rewards finishing blows. Hothead helps builds that avoid damage. Mnemonic supports skill heavy heroes.

Survival

Armor matters because physical and magical armor block many control effects. Vitality still matters after armor breaks. A durable build needs enough armor for the enemies it expects to face. Leadership and Perseverance can add value for group play and recovery.

Action Economy

Damage is not only about one hit. Action points decide how often you can attack, move, buff, or control. Low cost skills can create better turn value than expensive skills. Elemental Affinity may improve tempo when surfaces are planned well.

Party Fit

A build should match the team. Four physical attackers break one armor type quickly. Mixed parties need careful target selection. Support heroes may score lower in raw damage, yet still win fights through armor restoration, teleportation, surfaces, and crowd control.

Using Results

Treat the final score as a planning guide, not a strict rule. Real battles include surfaces, positioning, enemy resistances, crowd control, and action point timing. Use the output to compare ideas. Then adjust for your party role and preferred play style. Save exports when testing several builds quickly.
