Players focusing on spells should also grab the Daredevil Gloves at the Githyanki Creche during Act 1, allowing them to use all their ranged spells as melee attacks to avoid the penalty for using ranged attacks in melee.

The Lifebringer adds temporary HP as long as the character has lightning charges, while the Real Sparky Sparkswall allows them to burn three charges to create a lightning aura that jolts nearby foes.

The Dragon Age series is one of BioWare's biggest franchises that has gone on to help the studio become a household name. The first game is touted by many as one of the best Western RPGs of all time, while the second game does have its fair share of fans, even if its attempts to cater to a casual player base didn't resonate with the series' fans. Thankfully, BioWare learned their mistake and decided to make Dragon Age: Inquisition bigger and grander than ever bef


For what it's worth, the story of Skyrim is pretty generic, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, just like D&D , it's the journey that matters the most. Given the sheer number of interesting locales and unique quests that players will find in the game, it's easy to see why players can be positively enraptured for hours on

Duergar also gain the Dwarven Resilience passive alongside Duergar Resilience, granting Advantage on saving throws against Illusions, Charm, Paralysis, and Poison. The Darkvision can be nice, too, though the reduction in movement distance is a notable downside of the race. Most races can move at least 9m on a turn, while Dwarves can only go 7.5m.

The build is notably proficient in Heavy Armor, a proficiency granted by the Life Domain subclass itself. It also has several Cantrips that keep allies alive and enemies weak when their relatively limited spell slots are expended – but their Domain Spells are always prepared, leaving room for other spells to diversify options.

At Levels 2, 5, 7, 9, and 11, Rogues don't have any leveling choices to make. But because the class can learn four Feats, the choices that you do make while leveling this BG3 Rogue build matter a lot more. The table below displays recommended choices to make at each level-up that will synergize well with the stealthy Thief subclass playstyle.

This table displays recommended Bg3 Tournament Cleric build choices for every level, including recommended spells you should add to your Spellbook at each level. These spells synergize well with the BG3 Life Cleric build, including a variety of support spells to provide aid to your party and both debuffs and control effects to affect combat more directly.

When a Rogue has Expertise in a skill, their normal Proficiency bonus is doubled for that skill. So, as long as a Rogue is proficient in Stealth, that Proficiency bonus increases when they choose to gain Expertise in Stealth as well.
The max level in Baldur's Gate 3 is Level 12, and most of the time, each level you gain will grant something new for your Cleric build. In character creation, you gain the basics for the Cleric class, then steadily gain Feat Choices, new spells and abilities, subclass features, and increase your Proficiency Bonus.

As you level up in one of these BG3 Fighter subclasses, you will gain more abilities that are unique to your subclass choice. Your choice of Fighter subclass can be changed by speaking with Withers, but you will start at Level 1 and have to make your BG3 Fighter build from scratch.

Baldur's Gate 3 features a huge number of classic Dungeons and Dragons classes pulled right from the Fifth Edition of the tabletop RPG. Because it draws such heavy inspiration from D&D , some of the best builds in BG3 happen to also be the best builds players are already familiar with, including the Thief Rogue.

With the Druid's intrinsic Wild Shape ability, a Druid 9 Ranger 3 build will be able to summon a Bear companion, then shapeshift into a Bear themselves. It's always good to have more companions on the battlefield, so enemies have more targets to choose from. Having two bears in the party, alongside proper Support companions, makes for a fun and fearsome melee frontline.

Rogues are masters of Stealth and are easily able to slink in and out of dangerous situations while masterfully gaining Advantage whenever possible. They are very good at Lockpicking and Disarming traps, and can dual-wield with ease, making them a good addition to a team that needs a dextrous melee member to do some dirty work.


Navigating the world of Morrowind is far from easy, with players having to follow directions to reach certain areas instead of just relying on a map marker. It's also important to decide a character's predominant skills early on so that they can level up efficiently

At the character creation screen and again at Level 6, Rogues get to choose two extra skills to gain Expertise in, for a total of four. Expertise is a little bit different than just being Proficient in a skill.

In Baldur's Gate 3 , Cleric builds can be enhanced further with the use of specific consumables. Certain potions, like the Potion of Speed, will let Clerics do more within a single turn and support their allies better, while others, like the Potion of Angelic Reprieve, will let Clerics restore Spell Slots to keep casting.

If you go with the Soldier background, proficiency in Athletics and Intimidation are already granted. In this case, choose instead to go with Insight and Perception, as the game gives players a lot of dialogue checks involving these two skills.
