No matter which Sorcerer background you choose, make sure to get the Persuasion proficiency . Both Deception and Insight serve as equally viable backups for the sake of unlocking dialogue options, but Deception tends to come up more often. If you get Persuasion through the Noble background, pick up Insight or Intimidation instead.


Thankfully, players of Baldur’s Gate 3 have trusty companions to rely on as they build a formidable party against this threat. And for players who want to dominate ranged play, there are some great options available to choose f

Of the eight choices of Ancestry, Red and Black are arguably the most useful. The Red Ancestry grants Burning Hands , a short-range cleaving spell with Fire damage, while the Black Ancestry grants the Grease spell, which can be ignited with any source of Fire and has a good chance to knock enemies Prone.

The Sorcerer and Warlock multiclass build is one of the most popular in BG3 because of high damage potential, both class' reliance on Charisma, and the added bonuses that the Warlock class can provide to a Sorcerer, like armor proficiency.

The Thief Rogue subclass offers one simple, but powerful, benefit over the Arcane Trickster: an extra bonus action. With this extra Bonus Action, the Thief Rogue is able to move further away from enemies, disengage from Opportunity Attacks, attempt a second Hide action if a first fails, and much more.


The Heavy Crossbow has staple Weapon Actions that can cause enemies to receive extra damage from other sources (Piercing Shot), and roll ranged damage twice to get the highest result at the cost of extra movement (Brace). Securing this weapon’s damage-oriented kit would be the capability of casting Lightning Arrow as a 4th-Level Spell once every Long Rest, practically giving players a chance to nova groups of opponents at the start of combat. Lastly, Reposition Malefactor can pull targets 9m closer to players if they fail a DC 15 DEX Save, allowing players to reposition enemies to be much closer to the rest of the party’s melee combata

When it comes to equipment, the Oath of Vengeance Paladin might consider grabbing the Gloves of Heroism, hidden in the Tollhouse in Act 1. These will provide the Heroism buff whenever the Paladin uses a "Channel Oath" ability. Players can then grab the Helmet Of Smiting from the Selunite Outpost (also in Act 1), and purchase the Armor of Devotion from Roah when they relocate to Moonrise in Act 2. The former provides temporary hit points whenever you apply a status effect using a smite spell ( Searing Smite inflicting a burn effect over time, for example), while the latter allows the Paladin to restore a Channel Oath charge at will once per long rest.

The Great Old One Warlock is one of the best Warlock builds because of its access to powerful, battle-turning control spells that complement the class spell list. By binding oneself to a pact with the Great Old One, Warlocks gain the Mortal Reminder passive, which makes enemies Frightened on crits.

Karlach : Best suited for the Berserker subclass, Karlach is capable of dealing some of the most consistent, highest-hitting melee attacks on her own, and with two supports you won't be at a loss for HP or dispels

By putting three levels into the Sorcerer class as a Warlock, players unlock the powerful Metamagic system and two charges, which can greatly improve the class' ability to deal damage with Eldritch Blast .

However, if you are more prone to engaging in dialogues in BG3 , the Guild Artisan background might be a better fit . This background grants proficiency in Insight and Persuasion, and tends to trigger inspiration when making items, repairing areas in the world, or identifying and engaging with artifacts.

The Duergar are a great choice for classes that need to remain defensive while staying mobile in combat. Though the Rogue gains the ability to go invisible at Level 9 with Supreme Sneak, the Duergar gain the ability to turn invisible from Level 5 once per long rest, granting Rogues this powerful skill far earlier than most will normally get it.
Gloomstalker Rangers are, like Rogues, masters of stealth combat with a unique set of abilities and sneaky ways to maneuver the battlefield – but it doesn't have access to Sneak Attack. By multiclasing into the Gloomstalker subclass as a Rogue, players are able to take advantage of Sneak Attack alongside the Gloomstalker's powerful stealth abilities.
