The Best Ranged Weapons In Baldur s Gate 3 Ranked

The main benefits of Half-Orcs in BG3 are these two passives, called Savage Attacks and Relentless Endurance. Savage Attacks increases damage dealt by Critical Hits, while Relentless Endurance prevents Fighters from going down when they get to 0 HP once per Long Rest. For this Circle of the Moon build, which capitalizes on the Druid's abilities in melee combat, Half-Orcs offer the most impactful racials.

At level three, "Spike Growth" and "Barkskin" are added to the Cleric's Domain Spells. These allow the Cleric to change the ground in an area into difficult terrain with sharp spikes, and toughen the skin of a target to boost their AC up to 16.

However, depending on how you like to play your Druid, the Outlander background might feel more fitting. This background grants proficiency in Athletics and Survival instead of Animal Handling and Survival, and Athletics can be very useful in combat.


Most weapons in Baldur’s Baldur's Gate 3 Druid Circle Of Stars 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

For ranged combat, players should pick up the Spellthief bow from Arron at the Druid Grove, allowing them to restore a first level spell slot the first time they land a critical hit each short rest. This can be helpful during the early-game where spell slots are few. The Joltshooter longbow can also be found in Act 1, as a reward for rescuing Councilor Florrick at Waukeen's Rest, and allows the Ranger to build up lightning charges and dish out extra damage with their attacks.

At level 8, the Wildheart gains "Land's Stride: Difficult Terrain." This prevents difficult terrain from reducing their movement speed. They gain a second Animal Aspect at level 10, choosing from the same list.


At level six Storm Sorcerers get "Heart of the Storm," creating a localized storm whenever they cast a spell of level one or higher that deals thunder or lightning damage. This storm deals damage to all creatures within 6m of the Sorcerer equal to half their Sorcerer level (rounded down. The damage dealt by the storm is the same type as the spell that triggered "Heart of the Storm." They also get "Heart of the Storm: Resistance" at level six, which gives them resistance to thunder and lightning dam

There are a total of seven BG3 Circles (subclasses) Druid 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 Druid subclasses, you will gain more abilities that are unique to your subclass choice.


If you pair the Shadespell Circlet and Eversight Ring , you can take advantage of the Darkness spell to create pools of shadow that won't affect you but will cause plenty of problems for enemies trying to attack you, and get +1 to Spell Save DC/Spell Attack Rolls in the process. The Fistbreaker Helm is a good alternative to the Shadespell Circlet, and you can eventually swap over to the Hood of the Weave if another party member isn't using

Elemental Damage sets are also quite effective on a Giant Barbarian due to their Elemental Cleaver ability, with the Gloves of Belligerent Skies and/or Boots of Stormy Clamour being a particularly valuable option if you favor thunder or lightning damage. You could also equip Winter's Clutches, the Snowburst Ring, and/or the Coldbrim Hat to freeze your foes solid. Another option is to utilize the Thermoarcanic Gloves, Cinder Shoes, and Ring of Self Immolation in a heat setup, and throw on the Cindermoth Cloak to burn enemies that damage you.

At sixth level, Giant Barbarians gain Elemental Cleaver. This allows them to add acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage to their weapon while raging, and also adds the Thrown property to their weapon when used. Additionally, weapons under the effect of Elemental Cleaver will be returned to your hand immediately after being thrown, allowing for greater flexibility in throwing weapon builds. The elemental damage behaves like a damage rider when throwing the weapon, meaning the elemental damage is boosted independently by things like the Rage buff, Tavern Brawler, or the Ring of Flinging. This allows you to achieve much higher damage than expected with weapons enhanced using Elemental Cleaver.

Finally, at tenth level, Giant Barbarians gain access to Mighty Impel. This allows them to throw any creature that is medium-sized or smaller, regardless of their weight, as a bonus action while enraged. The throw range is fixed at 9m/30ft, which usually results in better range when throwing heavy creatures (unless your character has used an Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength to reach 27 Strength).
