Poison damage equipment also deserves a mention here, though the sheer amount of poison-resistant foes makes it impractical.

After reaching Act 3, Oath of Ancients Paladins can make use of many of the same options as the Vengeance Paladin, though they should probably stick with the Hellrider's Pride Gauntlets and Whispering Promise Ring combo to make the most of their healing. Wapira's Crown starts to fall off by the endgame, so this is a good time to swap it for either the Grymskull Helmet (if you picked it up in Act 1/Act 2), the Steel Watcher Helmet (found in the Steel Watch Foundry in Act 3, Provides Darkvision and Advantage on Constitution Saving Throws), or even Sarevok's Horned Helm (Defeat Sarevok at the Murder Tribunal.)

The Champion subclass is simple and effective, providing straightforward bonuses that can benefit many other classes. This is especially true of Rogues , who benefit immensely from the Improved Critical Hit effect. When stacked with equipment that further lowers the target number for critical hits (which stack in Baldur's Gate 3), it becomes possible to create a critical hit monster very easily.

Players seeking out a particularly powerful helmet should take the time to fight Grym at the Adamantine Forge during Act 1 or Act 2, acquiring the Grymskull Helmet in the process. As the only Heavy Helm in the entire video game voice actors, the Grymskull Helmet provides immunity to critical hits, resistance to fire damage, and the ability to cast Hunter's Mark once per long rest.

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.

In the case that you don't go with a Duergar and instead choose the Half Elf for the Mask of the Wild passive, choose the Charlatan background, which grants bonuses to Deception and Sleight of Hand, or the Guild Artisan background, which grants proficiency to Insight and Persuasion.

This allows them to create a new Wild Magic surge (replacing the old one) whenever they take damage or fail a saving throw while raging. This helps to increase the chaos they cause in battle.
