If you are dead set on including a character in your party, simply talk to Withers to respec them to one of the optimal Warlock companion classes listed above. This way, you won't miss out on that character's questline, and you won't have to suffer from an improperly balanced party.

For weapons, Battle Masters can easily make use of Balduran's Giantslayer, allowing them to add double their strength to their damage rolls and giving them advantage on attack rolls against large, huge, or gargantuan creatures. It also allows you to grow to giant size, boosting your damage and giving you a pool of 27 temporary hit points to soak up damage. Giant Form also gives the user advantage on Strength checks and saving throws. Githyanki characters can alternatively use the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane, unleashing psychic damage and stunning enemies while also gaining advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma Saving Throws. It also provides resistance to psychic damage and immunity to charm effects, which proves useful throughout Act 3.

The Oath of Devotion Paladin can make good use of the Reaper's Embrace Armor acquired at the end of Act 2 if they want to trade some of the Luminous Gear for more defensive power. Assuming Dammon the Blacksmith survived all the way to Act 3 , you can also buy the "Armor of Persistence" from him, which grants permanent resistance and Blade Ward while reducing all incoming damage by 2. Of course, the Helldusk Armor from the House of Hope can also be a good option for defense-focused loadouts. It is worth noting that the Luminous Armor remains a viable option all the way to the endgame if you want to focus more on the Luminous Orb strategy over raw defensive power. Many of the armor options suggested for the Oath of Vengeance Paladin are also effective choices for a Devotion Paladin, so check that section too for more ideas.

In addition to Armor, Weapon, and Saving Throw proficiencies that vary for each class, the pool of Skills you can choose from are different for each class. These cannot be changed once you get past character creation without resetting your build.

Battle Masters might prefer a weapon with longer reach instead, such as the Dancing Breeze (Sold by Exxvikgap in the Rivington General.) This powerful glaive allows the wielder to perform a Whirlwind Attack, making an attack against all enemies within range. The Drakethroat Glaive also remains viable, as does the Moonlight Glaive and the Halberd of Vigilance. You could also consider Nyrulna, a legendary Trident that returns when thrown and causes thunder damage explosions when thrown too. It can also create cutting winds that blow back foes and create gusts of wind that also inflict thunder damage.

The Nature Domain grants the Cleric abilities suited to one who wields the power of the natural world, drawing some parallels to the Druid class in the process. This begins at level one with the Domain Spells "Speak with Animals" and "Animal Friendship," allowing them to speak clearly with animals and charm them into not attacking.

Outside of this, players could also use Eldritch Knight as their subclass when planning to multiclass heavily into other spellcasting classes, taking spells that are defensive in nature or otherwise require no attack roll or saving throw to be effective. This allows players to remain at low intelligence and still benefit from the Eldritch Knight spells they choose, freeing up those points to spend on stats that benefit their chosen spellcasting class.

The Fighter in Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the simplest classes to understand when looking at it. The Fighter, as their name suggests, fights. More specifically, the Fighter class is an expert in using weapons and armor of all kinds and can thus adapt easily to different combat situations. The Fighter subclasses each offer more ways for the Fighter to excel on the battlefield, be it through specialized combat maneuvers, the addition of magic to their arsenal, or simply increasing their survivability and critical hit potential.

Each of Baldur's Gate 3 's classes has different abilities and skills to aid them in exploration and combat. The Cleric class is a divine spellcaster who wield magic in the service of their god. Each of the Cleric Subclasses reflects a domain their god has dominion over, and grants the Cleric unique abilities relating to that domain.

Finally, if you multiclassed with a full spellcaster class, this is a great time to pick up Markoheshkir. This Staff offers a huge array of elemental effects and acts as the perfect Shadowheart Companion Impact to a build that dishes out damage through spellcasting.

This pairs nicely with the Gloves of Hellrider's Pride , which Zevlor will hand over when players complete the quest "Investigate Kahga." These gloves will apply Blade Ward to anyone the wearer heals, except for themselves. Similarly, the Boots Of Aid And Comfort , sold in the Goblin Camp by Grat the Trader, make for a great early-game boost. These boots will give three Temporary Hit Points to anyone the wearer heals.
