Astarion and Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3

After a long road, Larian Studios has finally released Patch 8, the final major update to Baldur's Gate 3. This update includes major changes like cross-play support for people to play together, a new photo mode, and brand-new animations, abilities, and cantrips. It also opens up some more modding possibilities by allowing for partial level editing.

The College of Glamour is overall a good choice for players who want to play a support role while still playing tricky, charlatan characters. For starters, you gain the Mantle of Inspiration feature when picking this subclass, giving you a way to Charm enemies that hit your allies and give friends Temporary Hit Points.

For players interested in this subclass, the best feat for barbarians who follow the Path of Giants would likely be Tavern Brawler, as it adds more damage to improvised and unarmed attacks. 3 Death Domain Cleric A New DPS Cleric Subclass Close The Death Domain Cleric is a subclass surrounded by necromancy and necrotic damage - its addition to the game comes with three new cantrips, and some content original to Baldur's Gate 3. Larian grants the Death domain cleric the ability to"explode nearby corpses," which has great potential for some interesting strategies.

Posts Some other deities in the game like Myrkul, Bhaal, Loviatar, and Jergal remain excluded from any cleric options. That being said, choosing the Death Domain in Baldur's Gate 3 still grants you thematic spells these deities would bestow, including Bone Chill, False Life, and Ray of Sickness. Related Why Druids Are Secretly The Most Overpowered Class In Baldur's Gate 3 Druids are quite overlooked in the Baldur's Gate 3 and Dungeons & Dragons fanbases, but can actually be one of the most powerful classes.

The Oath of the Crown comes with three new features: Righteous Clarity, used to guide allies; Divine Allegiance, which heals and absorbs the damage dealt to a player's allies; and the ability to taunt enemies through the Champion Challenge ability. Eventually, all your ranged attacks become magical and overcome resistance, making you far more dangerous. The Curving Shot feature at Level 7 allows you to use your Bonus Action to attack the next closest target from one you missed earlier with a magical ranged attack, giving you more ways to inflict damage. As you gain more Arcane Shots and Arrows at later levels, you'll constantly be shooting down foes left and right.

Later on, the Drunken Master Monk gains the Sobering Realisation ability at Level 9, where they can strike a drunk creature to inflict Psychic damage. While this does make them lose Life of the Party, the extra damage could decide a fight. Swarmkeeper Rangers will be able to summon three different types of swarms — the Cloud of Jellyfish, the Flurry of Moths, and the Legion of Bees. Any swarm can grant the player teleportation abilities, but each swarm deals different types of damage with potential extra effects.

The Swashbuckler has additional bonuses to Initiative, making them faster than even other Rogue subclasses. Swashbucklers can also disable a target's ability to perform Opportunity Attacks, giving their allies more freedom to move in combat. This subclass works very differently than other Rogues, as you don't need to have Advantage to trigger Sneak Attack.

Related 10 Best Feats For Sorcerers In Baldur's Gate 3 Sorcerers are some among the most powerful spellcasters in Baldur's Gate 3, and with these feats they have the potential to be even better. One of the biggest benefits of the Hexblade Warlock is gaining proficiency with Shields, Martial Weapons, and Medium Armor.

12 Bladesinging Wizard Blades Meet Magic Close The new update introduces the Bladesinging Wizard, where players can merge their weapons with their spellcasting ability. With a surplus of new custom animations, this subclass comes with the Bladesong bonus action, which grants enhanced agility, focus, speed, and a bonus to your Constitution. This class adds some much-needed flavor to the schools of wizardry, and opens up more character possibilities outside the typical scholarly wizard.
