The Thief Rogue build is based on the Thief subclass that grants an additional Bonus Action in combat, which is ridiculously useful for getting into and out of stealth . Considering how completely busted Stealth is in Baldur's Gate 3 , even with the chances from Early Access, Thief Rogues are sure to dominate damage-wise.


Most weapons in Baldur’s Gate 3 often come with unique flavor text, with Gandrel's Aspiration boasting perhaps one of the game's more interesting stories to read. It’s said that when Gandrel witnessed the horrible burning of a vampire spawn , it ushered in a desire to ensure such a creature wouldn’t harm others again. This resulted in an Uncommon Heavy Crossbow capable of eliminating monsters, with its wielders getting Advantage against Monstrosity-type creatures (Feller of Monsters) as well as improved odds of ranged attacks inflicting Turn Undead for a single turn once every Short Rest (Sacred Munitio

Human: Being the most common Race in Faerun, Humans are found building lives almost anywhere. What they lack for racial features, they compensate for by getting an extra skill to be proficient with. Because Bards are already so great at skill checks, this just further guarantees success in dialogue. Humans are an ideal Race for a "balanced" Bard build.


At level 6, Wild Magic Sorcerers can "Bend Luck." When a creature they can see makes a saving throw, attack roll, or ability check, the Wild Magic Sorcerer can spend 2 Sorcery Points to roll 1d4 and apply the result as a bonus or penalty to that roll. This allows the Wild Magic Sorcerer to, as the name suggests, bend luck in their fa


According to its flavor text, the Darkfire Shortbow has been polished by the refined breath of a silver and gold dragon, both types of Dungeons & Dragons creatures known for their icy and flaming breaths, respectively. When players acquire this bow from Dammon at the Last Light Inn , they get one of the more interesting defensive options in the g

At level 11, Wild Magic Sorcerers get the feature "Controlled Chaos," giving foes near the sorcerer a chance to trigger a Wild Magic Surge when casting spells. This extends the chaos they cause and can potentially cause serious harm to enemy spellcasters, though it also has a decent chance of helping them out

They also learn two Wizard Cantrips and two Wizard Spells from the aforementioned Spell Schools. At level three, they also gain "Weapon Bond," which links the weapon they hold to them, preventing them from being disarmed and causing it to return when thrown. This effect lasts until they long rest and can be applied again or used on a different weapon.

At Level 1, the best two Expertise choices are Stealth and Persuasion, as these play well into the Rogue's strengths in sneaky combat and dialogue checks. Later down the line, players can pick up Insight and Sleight of Hand at Level 6, though players who don't do much pickpocketing may find that Deception is a more useful skill to gain Expertise in here.

Many builds in Baldur's Gate 3 are based on a single subclass or mechanic of a class, and in the Druid's case, this is the Circle of the Moon subclass and its enhancements to the class' intrinsic Wild Shape ability.

During Act 3,you can access some powerful armor and weapons that benefit the Battle Master. The Helldusk Armour , acquired from the House of Hope by defeating Raphael, is a great heavy armor option that allows the wearer to fly and reduces incoming damage by 3. It also provides resistance to fire and burns enemies when you succeed a saving throw against their spells. The Helldusk Boots from the top floor of Wyrm's Rock Fortress complement the Armour, allowing the wearer to automatically succeed a saving throw by spending their reaction. They also allow the wearer to teleport, causing a blast of fire wherever they reappear, making them useful for dealing with foes at range. Add in the Helldusk Helmet (found in the House of Hope) to gain immunity to critical hits and a +2 bonus to saving throws against spells. The Immolating Gaze Action the helmet grants will allow you to frighten foes and deal fire damage if they're burning. Before you can get your hands on the Helldusk Armor, consider using the Reaper's Embrace Armor you can loot from Ketheric at the end of Act 2.
