Nothing against Fighters here, but they’re the easiest class to wrap your head around. Wisdom-based classes like Clerics or Druids will be more insightful and perceptive of their surroundings. Out of combat, those classes will be better at talking their way out of (and into) trouble and lying. Their high Charisma will also make them good at skills like Persuasion, Deception, and Intimidation. Baldur’s Gate 3 assigns your Ability Scores automatically (though you can tweak it in the character creator), so each class’s primary ability will be your highest score.īards and Sorcerers are both Charisma-based classes, for example. Your character’s class is mostly about combat, but the underlying Ability Score that it relies on affects the other skills you’ll use to interact with the world. Baldur’s Gate 3 classes have strengths outside of combat Instead, it’s really a question of how you want to play - and, more specifically, how you want to fight. No one class is overall better than the others. The classes in Baldur’s Gate 3 - and in pen-and-paper D&D, for that matter - are all fairly well-balanced. Here’s what to know about choosing a class - and a subclass - in Baldur’s Gate 3. Your class mostly determines how your character will fight, but with 12 classes - and 46 subclasses total across them all - it’s not really an easy decision.

Baldurs Gate 3 drops you into the character creator after the opening cinematic where you’ll pick your character’s race, background, and class.
