Taking a level of Wizard will allow players to learn any Wizard spell that they find a scroll for and cast them using their higher-level spell slots from Druid, though they will still use the character's intelligence score when determining attack rolls and saving throws. A level or two of Tempest Domain Cleric can also be very effective, especially if players are using a lot of lightning damage and/or wish to equip heavy armor or a wider range of weapons.

Fiend Warlocks made a pact with an entity known for corrupting and destroying and often served those ends through their actions, intentionally or otherwise. Fiend Warlocks immediately receive the power "Dark One's Blessing," which allows them to receive HP equal to their Charisma modifier plus their level whenever they reduce a foe to 0 HP. This helps keep the Fiend's health topped off and allows them greater survivability.

As time goes on, the best Wizard build Subclass could change. But until then, the Evocation Wizard's ability to protect teammates from their own arcane destruction is really nice at Level 5, when Wizards pick up Fireball.

Putting all of this together, players will be able to create huge icy surfaces using spells that deal cold damage, with even the Ray of Frost Cantrip creating a decent amount of ice thanks to the Snowburst Ring, and inflicting the chilled and frost-encrusted conditions in the process. These two conditions both apply vulnerability to cold damage and can be used to freeze foes solid too.


Key to a player’s heavy-hitting arsenal is substantial defense, which Heavy Armour almost always provides them. Compared to Light Armour and Medium Armour, which facilitate faster movement and stealth, Heavy Armour foregoes many benefits in exchange for pure defensive capabilities. For players looking for Heavy Armour to outfit their tanks and other heavy hitters, Baldur's Gate 3 provides some truly remarkable opti

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.
Hexblade Warlocks make a pact with a mysterious entity from the Shadowfell , manifesting as sentient magical weapons forged from shadow. Picking this subclass at level 1 will give you the ability "Hexed Warrior", which grants proficiency in medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. Using "Bind Hexed Weapon" on a weapon of their choice, they can use their Charisma Modifier instead of their Strength or Dexterity when attacking with that weapon, as long as they're proficient. A Hexed Weapon also has a chance of inflicting the Hexblade's Curse on any creature it strikes.

The improved Mage Hand at Level 1 is a strict upgrade over the default Mage Hand, and it saves a level 1 spell slot. At Level 5, Githyanki gain Misty Step, a normally level 3 spell that can be incredibly valuable for this Spell Slot-starved class.
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 Sorcerer build. On character creation you gain the basics for the Sorcerer class, then steadily gain Feat Choices, new spells and abilities, subclass features, and increase your Proficiency Bonus.

The Glowing Shield , found hidden away in the Goblin Camp, provides temporary HP the first time the wielder takes damage while below half health. This makes for an excellent early shield, but players should endeavor to replace it with something like the Adamantine Shield once they are able (this can be forged during Act 1 at the Adamantine Forge.) The Adamantine Shield provides immunity to critical hits and inflicts the Reeling status effect on enemies when they miss. To further strengthen this subclass' defense, players should collect the Luminous set to take advantage of Radiant Orbs. This set consists of the Luminous Armor, Luminous Gloves , Coruscation Ring , Callous Glow Ring , The Sacred Star (Mace), and the Fabricated Arbalest . The Armor of Devotion (sold by Roah Moonglow in Moonrise Towers during Act 2) is also useful as it allows the Paladin to regain an Oath Charge once per long rest, allowing you to use Sacred Weapon, Divine Rebuke, and Turn the Unholy more often.
