Indeed, the Fighter multiclass is one of the most common options for players to pick in Baldur's Gate 3 because it doesn't require much investment to see great returns. By putting just two levels into Fighter, players unlock Action Surge, which grants an additional Action for a turn at the cost of a Bonus Action.

Warlocks have something to do every time they level up, but limited spell slots makes it important to make the right selections. This table displays recommended BG3 Warlock build choices for every level that synergize well with the BG3 fan community Great Old One Warlock build, including a number of powerful CC and debuffing offensive spells, Eldritch Invocations that empower you or grant new abilities, and Feats that will help your effectiveness as a ranged spellcaster.

There are a total of three BG3 subclasses Rogue players can try out, each of which focuses on different aspects of the class, and offers a selection of unique skills, proficiencies, and other features. As you level up in one of these BG3 Rogue subclasses, you will gain more abilities that are unique to your subclass choice.

After landing an attack, the Swarmkeeper may choose to activate one of the abilities listed in the table above, based on their Swarm, or teleport up to 5m/17ft away. None of these effects spend an action, bonus action, or reaction. Third level Swarmkeepers also gain the Mage Hand and Faerie Fire spells, which are always prepared.

Savage Attacks lets players add an additional Damage Dice on top of their normal critical hit damage, but only with melee weapon attacks. Relentless Endurance prevents the Fighter from going down, restoring them to 1 HP upon reaching 0, only once per long rest.
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 Warlock build. On character creation you gain the basics for the Warlock class, then steadily gain Feat Choices, new spells and abilities, subclass features, and increase your Proficiency Bonus.

The Beast Master subclass gains the ability "Summon Companion," allowing them to call forth a number of different animal companions to aid them in combat. These animal companions are considerably stronger than those summoned by the "Find Familiar" spell. All Companions have the "Prey's Scent" ability, which causes them to deal 1d6 extra damage to a creature marked by the Beast Master's "Hunter's Mark" spell.

In Act 1 , which typically brings players up to around Level 5 , you will be able to choose your Fighter Subclass (Battle Master), your Fighting Style (Great Weapon), a few Battle maneuvers, and a Feat.

From the six options, be sure to have Insight and Investigation covered. Investigation is incredibly useful while exploring the world and locating items for quests, as it can highlight things before you even see them.
The Great Old One Warlock is one of the best Warlock builds because of its access to powerful, battle-turning control spells that complement the class spell list. By binding oneself to a pact with the Great Old One, Warlocks gain the Mortal Reminder passive, which makes enemies Frightened on crits.

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.

Gloom Stalkers are ambush specialists and gain abilities as they level up to aid in exactly that. At level three, they get the abilities "Dread Ambusher," "Dread Ambusher: Hide," "Umbral Shroud," and "Superior Darkvision." The first of these allows them a +3 bonus to initiative rolls while also letting them move 3m further and deal an extra 1d8 damage on the first turn of combat.

Song of Rest gives an extra short rest, which gives the Warlock another way to refresh their limited spell slots, while Bardic Inspiration can be used for some useful support skills. Multiclassing as a Bard and a Warlock makes CC a key part of the character's spell list, so plan to stand back and set up plays for allies rather than getting involved in the fighting first-hand.

Repelling Blast, on the other hand, doesn't improve the damage of Eldritch Blast. Instead, it gives it the ability to push targets by 4.5m in the opposite direction they are hit. Be sure to position the Warlock correctly so that enemies hit can be reliably pushed off of ledges and into chasms practically for free.

The Warlock, being a Charisma-based caster , tends to do very well when it comes to rolling dice in conversations and crowd controlling enemies. Though speccing into Bard doesn't necessarily improve the Warlock's damage output, by putting just one point into this class, a Warlock can provide even more utility to the party through the Song of Rest and Bardic Inspiration abilities.

One of the best features of the Wizard class is its ability to learn abilities from scrolls, but this ability becomes more powerful when paired with another Prepared Spellcaster class, like the Cleric. This multiclass Wizard build is not one that focuses on the Wizard, as only one level is needed to learn from scrolls. Instead, it opts for 11 levels in Cleric, leaving just one in Wizard.
