Serving as more or less the performance-inclined version of the Battle Master, the College of Swords serves as the Bard Archetype specializing in heavy-hitting combat strategies. This College encourages Bards to explore new armaments like Versatile Weapons to expand their combat strategies. They get a slate of more versatile attack styles that can enhance their role in a fight, of which the following should be noted:

Though Warlocks only have a few spell slots for the majority of the game, these slots uniquely refresh with either a Short or Long Rest. It doesn't mean BG3 Warlock builds can be totally carefree when it comes to slinging spells in combat, but it does keep Warlocks going longer than classes that fully rely on their Spell Slots, no matter how many are available.


Regarded as one of several crown jewels in BioWare's catalog, the Knights of the Old Republic games are essentially D&D campaigns set within the Star Wars universe. The rules and mechanics aren't a direct mirror of D&D , but they're more than familiar and comfortable for anyone who has played the latter. The saga of Darth Revan provides a gripping narrative for both games, and the characters are incredibly well-writ

With the Druid's intrinsic Wild Shape ability, a Druid 9 Ranger 3 build will be able to summon a Bear companion, then shapeshift into a Bear themselves. It's always good to have more companions on the battlefield, so enemies have more targets to choose from. Having two bears in the party, alongside proper Support companions, makes for a fun and fearsome melee frontline.

The Sorcerer class is pretty powerful on its own, and the Warlock is the only option that adds meaningful damage to the class' already-powerful toolkit. However, by speccing into the Wizard class, the Sorcerer gains the ability to learn spells from Scroll s, vastly expanding its repertoire of options.

Drow: Although relatively unknown due to their lives underground, the Drow are infamously known for worshipping Lolth. However, this is only true for their Lolth-Sworn variants, as Seladrine Drows hope to break away from their association with the dark deity. As Drow, players gain Fey Ancestry, which gives them an Advantage when saving against being Charmed and immunity to sleep, alongside Superior Darkvision (see in the dark within 24m). Even without light, their Dancing Lights (Evocation Cantrip) can illuminate a 12m-radius area. Most importantly, they also gain Proficiency (Rapier, Shortsword, Hand Crossbow). Thanks to proficiency in D&D Versatile Weapons alone, the Drow is ideal for maximizing a Bard’s potential arsenal.

However, if you are more prone to engaging in dialogues in BG3 , the Guild Artisan background might be a better fit . This background grants proficiency in Insight and Persuasion, and tends to trigger inspiration when making items, repairing areas in the world, or identifying and engaging with artifacts.
There are a total of 12 classes that players will be able to pick from in the full version of Baldur's Gate 3 , including the multi-faceted Druid Class. There are three subclasses, or Circles, for players to choose from, being the Circle of the Moon, the Circle of the Land, and the Circle of Spores.

Sorcerer: The Bard dipping into Sorcerer can give them an expanded option of more aggressive Spells that deal more consistent damage without the extra utility. Tapping into Sorcery Points and Metamagic can give the Bard more ways of approaching combat from a resource standpoint.

In Baldur's Gate 3 , the Warlock class is widely considered to be the easiest caster to learn and play , but that doesn't mean it's not powerful. Warlocks don't have as many spell slots as other spellcasters, but they make up for that with an incredibly powerful Cantrip and access to some of the game's best control spells.

This table displays recommended BG3 Sorcerer Barbarian subclass build choices for every level, including recommended spells you should add to your Spellbook while leveling. These spells synergize well with the BG3 Draconic Sorcerer build, and include a variety of single-target and AoE damage abilities as well as ways to boost your damage and options in combat with the right Metamagic choices.
