Using these abilities makes it easy for the Oath of the Crown Paladin to draw enemy attention and protect the rest of the party.

The Ward gains charges equal to half the spell's level, rounded up, and can hold charges equal to twice the Wizard's level. At level 3, this means the Wizard can have six charges at once.

If you are dead set on including a character in your party, simply talk to Withers to respec them to one of the optimal Sorcerer companion classes listed above. This way, you won't miss out on that character's questline, and you won't have to suffer from an improperly balanced party.

In terms of Multiclassing, the Arcane Archer plays very well with some Rogue levels for Sneak Attack and Cunning Actions, with the Thief subclass providing an extra bonus action, which is very helpful, while the Assassin subclass offers incredible burst damage at the start of a fight if you get the drop on them. A few levels in Ranger, especially Hunter for the Hunter's Prey bonuses (Horde Breaker is particularly helpful), can also be quite effective.

Action Surge can be used once every short or long rest, granting the Cleric another Action to cast a spell when needed. This Cleric multiclass requires two levels in Fighter because Fighters do not start with this ability.

The Cleric multiclass option for Fighters is good for similar reasons as the Barbarian multiclass. Fighters unlock their third attack at Level 11, leaving just one level to put into another class. The Cleric, specifically the War Domain subclass, is an excellent choice because it unlocks a fourth attack, and grants access to some basic Cleric support spells.


At level 11, Storm Sorcerers get the ability "Storm's Fury," which deals lightning damage equal to their level to a foe that strikes them with a melee attack. It can also knock attackers back. This helps the Storm Sorcerer to deal with any foes that manage to approach them in me

In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Sorcerer, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Sorcerer, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.
In Baldur's Gate 3 , Sorcerer builds can be enhanced further with the use of specific consumables. Certain potions, like the Ellixir of Battlemage's Power, will grant combat-oriented bonuses for this best Sorcerer build, while others, like the Potion of Angelic Reprieve, will make it easier to cast more spells more often by restoring Spell Slots.
In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Cleric, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Cleric, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.
At Level 2, a Warlock can choose two Eldritch Invocations, like Repelling Blast and Agonizing Blast, and gain two Level 1 spell slots that refresh with each short rest. With spells like Haste, as well as the Sorcerer's Metamagic options like Quickened Spell, this simple cantrip becomes one that can strike an enormous number of enemies at once.

Depending on your choice of Arcane Shots, you could also make use of the Psychic Damage equipment (like the Braindrain Gloves and Boots of Psionic Movement), or the Sparkstruck Set (like The Speedy Lightfeet, Jolty Vest, and Sparkswall) to great effect. Poison damage equipment also deserves a mention here, though the sheer amount of poison-resistant foes makes it impractical.

Sorcerers can choose two skills from a list of six, but depending on the background you choose, one will not be an option (as it will already be taken). The Noble background gives proficiency on History and Persuasion, which removes one choice from the Sorcerer's relatively brief list of six skill proficiencies.

The Drow are one of the most versatile , role-filling Races in Baldur's Gate 3 for a few important reasons. Their enhanced Darkvision is not to be sneered at, especially when one considers that it helps spells hit their targets in the dark. Plus, Drow have Advantage on Perception through Keen Senses.

At level 3, Duergar get the ability to Enlarge themselves, altering their Strength stat and direct weapon damage. At Level 5, Duergar gain the ability to cast Invisibility as a racial ability. However, unlike many limited-use abilities, Duergar can cast Invisibility on themselves at will when out of combat, though it can only be used once per long rest in combat.
