The Wildheart Subclass, likely a reimagining of the Totem Warrior from D&D 5e Tabletop, chooses a Bestial Heart at level three. Each Bestial Heart offers different bonus effects while the Barbarian is raging, along with access to a special action while raging, as the table below shows:

Finally, ninth level Death Domain Clerics gain Cloudkill and Contagion as Domain Spells. Taken all together, Death Domain Clerics excel in weakening enemies with status effects before finishing them off at close quarters. Once the enemy is dead, they can use Animate Dead to turn their fallen foes into more problems for their next opponent. Their ability to ignore resistance to Necrotic damage allows them to use their main damage type against enemies that would otherwise resist it, giving them an edge compared to other users of necrotic damage.

The Circle of the Moon Druid also gains access to more powerful Wildshape forms faster than other subclasses, gaining the Deep Rothe form at level 3 rather than level 4, for example. They also gain some Wildshape forms that the other subclasses do not have access to, like the Dire Raven (level 3).

In Act 1 , which typically brings players up to around Level 5 , you will be able to choose your Fighter Subclass (Battle Master), your Fighting Style (Great Weapon), a few Battle maneuvers, and a Feat.

When it comes to equipment, the Radiating Orb gear can be found throughout Acts 1 and 2. This equipment applies the Radiating Orb Condition, which reduces the creature's attack rolls by 1 per remaining turn of the condition. The Luminous Armor, found in the Selunite Outpost in the Underdark behind a hidden door, will cause Radiant Shockwaves whenever the wearer deals Radiant damage. These shockwaves apply Radiant Orbs to any enemy they hit.

The Death Domain Cleric will also benefit from other items that raise Spell Save DC, like the Cloak of the Weave and Accessible Worldbuilding Hood of the Weave. The Helldusk Set is also an excellent option if you're willing to brave one of Act 3's most dangerous areas to acquire it. Naturally, it's also a good idea for a Death Domain Cleric to obtain and read the Necromancy of Thay for its early bonuses, and to eventually learn the unique spell: Danse Macabre.

The Lunar Mend ability allows the Druid to spend their spell slots to heal themselves while transformed, allowing them an alternative use for their spell slots and helping them to stay transformed longer. This heals 1d8HP per level of the spell slot used, meaning that players can burn higher-level spell slots to heal more if necessary.

Level five adds "Plant Growth" and "Sleet Storm," allowing them to create patches of weeds to slow down their foes and conjure storms of ice to disrupt spellcasters and create difficult terrain (It's also handy for extinguishing fires if necessary.)

The Wild Magic Barbarian rolls on a different Wild Magic Table to the Sorcerer, with a different set of effects that are, as a whole, consistently beneficial to the Barbarian and their allies. Here's a complete list of Wild Magic effects available to the Barbarian:

During Act 3, players should grab The Reviving Hands Gloves to replace the Hellrider's Pride Gloves. They offer everything the Hellrider's Pride Gloves offer while also applying Death Ward whenever a creature is revived by the wearer. This allows the Cleric to heal someone who has been reduced to zero Hit Points and prevent them from being downed by the next attack that would drop them to zero.

This section covers the best equipment for Battle Master Fighters in BG3 across all three Acts. Some pieces from early Acts may still be powerful in later ones, though, and will remain equipped through several Acts.


If you pair the Shadespell Circlet and Eversight Ring , you can take advantage of the Darkness spell to create pools of shadow that won't affect you but will cause plenty of problems for enemies trying to attack you, and get +1 to Spell Save DC/Spell Attack Rolls in the process. The Fistbreaker Helm is a good alternative to the Shadespell Circlet, and you can eventually swap over to the Hood of the Weave if another party member isn't using
