At level six, Tempest Clerics learn "Thunderous Strike," letting them push large or smaller foes back up to 3m after hitting them with thunder or lightning damage. Level seven Tempest Clerics learn "Ice Storm" and "Freedom of Movement." This allows them to conjure a powerful hailstorm and prevent a target's movement from being affected by difficult terrain, spells, or water.
In terms of multiclassing, the Swarmkeeper Ranger pairs very well with Thief or Assassin Rogues , the former being particularly useful in a dual-wielding build while the latter performs better if you're using a ranged weapon. A few fighter levels for Action Surge and Second Wind can also be very strong on any Ranger.


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

The Hunter Subclass gains some powerful once-per-turn effects through Hunter's Prey, which could benefit other martial classes like the Fighter and Paladin. Multiattack Defence could be really helpful on a tanky character when facing powerful foes later in the game. Monks can also benefit greatly from abilities like Giant Killer and Colossus Slayer, as long as there is a weapon in their main hand.

At level six, Life Domain Clerics gain the "Blessed Healer" ability, restoring HP equal to 2+spell level whenever they cast a healing spell of level 1 or higher. This gives them some extra survivability in longer fights, helping them dodge death while they give their allies extra staying power.


The tabletop format of Dungeons & Dragons might seem far removed from the digital medium that is video gaming, but that dividing line becomes thinner and thinner as time goes on. In fact, playing D&D digitally has been a growing trend for quite some time, whether by humble, low-tech methods such as play-by-post or utilizing mediums such as Skype or ROLL20 to get a much-need roleplaying fix without all the hassle of organizing a live, in-person sess


Regarded as one of several crown jewels in BioWare's catalog, the Knights of the Old Republic games are essentially D&D campaigns set within the Star Wars universe. The rules and mechanics aren't a direct mirror of D&D , but they're more than familiar and comfortable for anyone who has played the latter. The saga of Darth Revan provides a gripping narrative for both games, and the characters are incredibly well-writ

In terms of equipment, Trickery Clerics can get some very useful gear from the Gauntlet of Shar in Act 2. The Dark Justiciar set can be found throughout the Gauntlet and offers powerful bonuses relating to stealth and mobility. Players can acquire the Dark Justiciar Helmet in a Gilded Chest found at X: -822, Y: -753. This helmet boosts saving throws against spells, reduces the number needed to score a critical hit by 1 while the wearer is obscured, and grants a +1 to constitution saving throws.

Since Rangers have proficiency with all martial weapons, they can achieve a ton of flexibility by using finesse weapons. Along with the usual suspects (Daggers, Shortswords, Scimitars, and Rapiers), there are also three unique finesse weapons in the game from weapon types that aren't usually finesse weapons. These are Phalar Aluve (longsword, Act 1, in the Underdark), Larethian's Wrath (longsword, Act 1, sold by the trader in the Githyanki Creche), and The Dancing Breeze (Glaive, Act Baldur's Gate 3 News, sold by Exxvikyap in Rivington.)

Act 3 offers some incredibly powerful weapons and items for a Vengeance Paladin. If you're using a two-handed weapon to maximize your damage, you could pick up Balduran's Giantslayer from the Dragon's Sanctum. This incredible sword doubles the bonus damage granted by your Strength Modifier whenever it connects, while also allowing you to increase in size (gaining temporary hitpoints, boosted damage, and advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws) once per short rest. If you're playing as a Githyanki, or respecced Lae'zel into a Vengeance Paladin, then the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane is also a good choice. It grants additional psychic damage on hit while also providing advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma Saving Throws. It also gives resistance to psychic damage, immunity to the "Charmed" status, and the special attack "Soulbreaker" to stun enemies.

This section will discuss some generally good equipment that works for any warlock subclass. An important item to mention is the Potent Robe , obtained in Act 2 by speaking with Alfina, but only if you aided the Tieflings during act 1. This robe adds your Charisma to the damage of all Cantrips and stacks with the effects of the Agonizing Blast invocation, allowing the Warlock to add double their Charisma to their Eldritch Blasts. 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. Players wanting to stack up their Charisma even higher should look into Duke Ravengard's Longsword , which also grants +2 Charisma and is an excellent weapon for Warlocks using Pact of the Blade.
