Thanks to this proficiency, Bards won’t impose attack disadvantages or prevent spellcasting even when wearing Light Armor.



Proficiency, Weapons (Simple, Hand Crossbow, Longsword, Rapier, Shortsword)

In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Warlock, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Warlock, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.

Karlach : Best suited for the Berserker subclass, Karlach is capable of dealing some of the most consistent, highest-hitting melee attacks on her own, and with two supports you won't be at a loss for HP or dispels

As you level up in one of these BG3 Fighter subclasses, you will gain more abilities that are unique to your subclass choice. Your choice of Fighter subclass can be changed by speaking with Withers, but you will start at Level 1 and have to make your BG3 Fighter build from scratch.

The Blood of Lathander (1d6+3 Bludgeoning, Mace, Legendary): The long questline to retrieve this weapon makes it worthy of the acquisition. Not only does it give players a free 2d6 Heal upon 0 HP once per Long Rest, but it even gives players the 6th-Level Spell Sunbeam as a freebie. Having access to this Mace as early as Act 1 can give the Bard a significant edge in battles.

A good alternative to the Half-Orc is the Githyanki, which gain Githyanki Psyonics to further enhance their ability to control the battlefield (and jump around from enemy to enemy as if on a trampoline).

Updated April 6, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is right around the corner, and though lots of the new subclasses seem like a lot of fun to play, the base game still offers some very powerful options for the best Warlock build in BG3. The Great Old One Warlock is still the best Warlock build in BG3 – but that could change with the release of Patch 8. Until then, stick with this Great Old One Warlock guide to learn the best Warlock build tips, what makes the Great Old One such a powerful subclass for the Warlock, and other information that will help you min-max your Warlock character. This Warlock build guide has been updated to add in-game flavor descriptions of the class and subclass, as well as a new small section with the best consumables for the Warlock, including both potions and elixirs, in the Equipment section.


Planescape: Torment features a rich story that more than makes up for its rudimentary combat. The story of the Nameless One is quite intriguing, and the fact that this game is set in locations from an established Dungeons & Dragons fantasy setting makes it a perfect recommendation in every

In Baldur's Gate 3 Switch Gate 3 , Fighter builds can be enhanced further with the use of specific consumables. Certain potions, like the Elixir of Heroism, will grant combat-oriented bonuses for this best Fighter build, while others, like the Elxir of Bloodlust, will enhance the Fighter's innate ability to stay in melee combat and keep swinging, even if the odds are against them.

Levels 1 to 4 are the time players need to establish the kind of playstyle their Bards want to use, especially when it comes to using them in combat in relation to their party members. In this level bracket, players should consider the following combat options:


Players who love the intricate and elaborate stories told in a session of D&D will love playing through The Wild Hunt . The stories are intriguing, the gameplay is fun, and the world is absolutely beautiful to behold. With the next-gen upgrade, players can enjoy an even better-looking version of the game that is improved via a mix of ray tracing and community-made m

Moderately Armoured: This gives the Bard Proficiency with Medium Armour and Shields, on top of +1 to either Strength or Dexterity. Depending on the Ability Array, a +1 to Dexterity could add a much-needed +1 bonus to rolls.

Other Weapon, Item Support: Unfortunately, the Ranger isn’t extremely optimized as a Class due to its multi-attribute dependency. Players should rely on Items such as Oils of Accuracy in order to boost their overall Attack Rolls and Damage Dice.


Skyrim is a game that took the world by storm when it was announced, and the game itself captured the hearts of players for hundreds of hours, if not more. Becoming the Dragonborn and laying waste to their enemies made for an amazing power fantasy, with players starting out very weak before slowly enhancing their power and becoming so powerful that even towering giants couldn't take them


A great part about a D&D campaign is that the stories can be whatever players want, unlike video games that need to adhere to certain algorithms and get as many players hooked as possible to avoid having poor sales and the like. So, it's refreshing to see video games like Tyranny where the player doesn't need to necessarily take on the role of a good

There are a total of three BG3 subclasses Fighter 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.
