	<br>~~For ranged combat~~, ~~players should pick~~ up ~~the Spellthief bow from Arron~~ at the ~~Druid Grove~~, allowing them to ~~restore~~ a ~~first level spell slot~~ the ~~first time they land~~ a ~~critical hit each short rest~~. ~~This can be helpful during~~ the ~~early-game where spell slots are few~~. The ~~Joltshooter longbow can also be found~~ in ~~Act 1~~, ~~as a reward~~ for ~~rescuing Councilor Florrick at Waukeen's Rest,~~ and ~~allows the Ranger to build up lightning charges and dish out extra damage with their attacks~~.<br><br>~~The Ranger subclasses in Baldur~~'s ~~Gate 3 allow the Ranger~~ to ~~gain additional abilities inspired by~~ the ~~Ranger~~'s ~~core concept as a Scout that hunts dangerous foes and has a deep understanding of the natural world~~. ~~The Beast Master subclass~~ allows them to ~~acquire~~ an ~~Animal Companion to aid them in battle~~, the ~~Hunter chooses a specialization~~ to ~~aid them~~ in ~~taking down~~ their ~~chosen foes, and the Gloom Stalker learns~~ to ~~steel~~ their ~~mind against mind-altering effects and strike at~~ their ~~foes from~~ the ~~shadows. Rangers select~~ their ~~subclass at level Three~~.<br><br>At ~~Level 3~~, ~~they~~ gain ~~additional~~ spells and ~~abilities associated with their Oath, including two new ways to Channel their Oath~~. ~~Sacred Weapon~~ allows ~~them~~ to ~~turn~~ their ~~weapon into a Sacred Weapon, adding their Charisma Bonus to attack rolls with it. Turn the Unholy allows them to ward off Undead~~ and ~~Fiends by making them afraid of the Paladin~~. ~~They also~~ gain ~~the spells~~ " ~~Protection from Evil and Good~~ " and " ~~Sanctuary~~ " as ~~additional prepared~~ spells.<br><br>~~Each Sorcerer subclass~~, ~~and build option~~, ~~gains incredibly powerful benefits like more AC~~ and ~~HP, compared to other spellcasters~~, the ~~unique~~ ability to ~~Fly~~ as a ~~Bonus Action~~, ~~and even completely random effects from Wild Magic~~.<br><br>At level 3, these Paladins gain Nature's Wrath and Turn the Faithless. The former lets them spend a Channel Oath charge to restrain an enemy as part of their attack, while the latter lets them instill fear in fey and fiends and cause them to flee. They also gain " Speak with ~~Animals~~ " and " ~~Ensnaring Strike (Ranged)~~" ~~as additional prepared spells. This makes~~ them ~~incredibly useful for stunning troublesome foes in combat and gleaning~~ additional information from ~~unlikely sources~~.<br><br>~~As mentioned briefly in~~ the ~~previous section~~, ~~Rangers can get hold~~ of the ~~exceptional scimitar "Belm" in Act 3. This can be found in Jaheira~~'s ~~Basement~~, under Elerrathin's Home in the Lower City. Belm is a legendary scimitar that can perform Whirlwind Attack, making an attack against all enemies within range, as an action once per short rest. The wielder can also ~~perform an extra attack as a bonus action, which calculates its attack~~ and ~~damage modifier using~~ the ~~stats of the weapon in the wielder's main hand. This makes it tremendously powerful when used in conjunction with a main-hand weapon that deals more damage, like Phalar Aluve~~ or ~~Larethian~~'s ~~Wrath~~. ~~If focusing on strength over dexterity but still using the dual-wielder feat,~~ you ~~could use the Nylruna trident (obtained by winning the jackpot from Akabi at the carnival~~, ~~getting teleported~~ to the ~~jungle~~, and then picking the lock on the chest near the portal back to the Carnival) or Voss' Silver Sword (stolen from Kithrak Voss via pickpocketing or murder) in the main hand to great effect. The aforementioned trident is also excellent for adding some range to a Strength-focused Ranger Build.<br>~~The Glowing Shield , found hidden away in the Goblin Camp, provides temporary HP the first time the wielder takes damage while below half health. This makes for an excellent early shield, but~~ players ~~should endeavor to replace it with something like the Adamantine Shield once they are able (this~~ can be forged during Act 1 at the Adamantine Forge.) The Adamantine Shield provides immunity to critical hits and inflicts the Reeling status effect on enemies when they miss. To further strengthen this subclass' defense, ~~players should collect the Luminous set to take advantage~~ of ~~Radiant Orbs. This set consists~~ of the ~~Luminous Armor~~, ~~Luminous Gloves~~ , ~~Coruscation Ring~~ , ~~Callous Glow Ring~~ , The ~~Sacred Star (Mace), and~~ the ~~Fabricated Arbalest . The Armor~~ [https://Www.~~Baldursgate3Fans~~.com/ ~~https://Www.Baldursgate3Fans.com~~] ~~of Devotion (sold by Roah Moonglow in Moonrise Towers during Act 2) is also useful as it allows the Paladin~~ to ~~regain an Oath Charge once per long rest, allowing you~~ to use ~~Sacred Weapon~~, ~~Divine Rebuke, and Turn~~ the ~~Unholy more often~~.<br><br>~~In Baldur's Gate 3 the max level you can reach is~~ Level 12, ~~but not every class gets something every time it levels up~~. ~~But as a Spellcaster class~~, ~~this BG3 Cleric build will have something~~ to ~~choose at every level~~.<br><br>~~At fifth level~~, ~~Swarmkeeper Rangers gain~~ the ~~Web spell, which is always prepared~~. ~~At seventh level~~, ~~the Swarmkeeper gains three charges~~ of ~~Writhing Currents per long rest~~, ~~which can be spent along with~~ a bonus ~~action to fly 9m/30ft and gain immunity to surface effects. They gain an extra Writhing Currents charge at ninth level, along with the Gaseous Form spell~~, ~~which is always prepared~~.<br><br>~~The Swarmkeeper Ranger subclass allows the Ranger~~ to ~~forge a connection~~ with ~~a swarm of fey spirits~~ , ~~which take~~ the ~~form of either Bees~~, ~~Jellyfish, or Moths~~. ~~This swarm provides them with movement and combat benefits, allowing them~~ to ~~weaken foes with status effects, reposition more easily~~, and ~~apply extra damage~~ to ~~their attacks based on~~ the ~~Swarm's form~~. ~~At third level, you choose between one of three swarm types:~~<br>		<br>In Baldur's Gate 3 the max level you can reach is Level 12, but not every class gets something every time it levels up. But as a Spellcaster class, this BG3 Cleric build will have something to choose at every level.<br><br>At level eight, the Cleric gets "Divine Strike: Elemental Fury," allowing them to charge their weapon with bonus cold, fire, or lightning damage before striking, as an action. Level nine grants the spells "Insect Plague" and "Wall of Stone," giving the Cleric a dangerous area attack that creates difficult terrain and weakens foes, and the power to raise a wall of stone to obstruct incoming foes.<br><br>To create the best BG3 Cleric build, we recommend putting the majority of points into your Wisdom, followed by Constitution and Dexterity. The primary stat for most Life Domain Cleric spells and abilities in BG3 is Wisdom, but Constitution and Dexterity should follow closely behind for survivability and secondary combat bonuses.<br><br>Level seven adds "Confusion" and "Otiluke's Resilient Sphere" to the Cleric's Domain Spells. This allows them to befuddle groups of creatures or seal a target in an impenetrable sphere. At level eight, the Cleric gains "Potent Spellcasting," adding the Cleric's Wisdom Modifier to their cantrip's damage rolls.<br><br>Players who reach this point in their Bard’s career have likely stuck with a straight Bard build or accessed certain levels of Multiclass to expand their combat versatility in Baldur’s Gate 3 . At this point in time, players can make further progress with their Bard to make them the ultimate Skill experts or specialize further in their intended combat roles. These combat options make the Bard more powerful in the endgame:<br><br>At level three, Life Domain Clerics gain the spells "Lesser Restoration" and "Aid" as domain spells. This allows the Cleric to remove diseases and conditions and temporarily increase their allies' HP and maximum HP. At level 5 they gain "Revivify" and "Beacon of Hope" as Domain spells. "Revivify" allows them to raise dead party members, while Beacon of Hope will maximize healing received in an area while also granting advantage on wisdom saving throws and death saving throws.<br><br>At level 3, Duergar get the ability to Enlarge themselves, altering their Strength stat and direct weapon damage. At Level 5, Duergar gain the ability to cast Invisibility as a racial ability. However, unlike many limited-use abilities, Duergar can cast Invisibility on themselves at will when out of combat, though it can only be used once per long rest in combat.<br><br>Level five adds "Speak with Dead" and "Slow" to their Domain spell list, letting them gather additional information from fallen creatures and inflict the powerful "slowed" condition on foes to reduce their capabilities.<br><br>Players who want to pull off the characteristic Bard from Dungeons & Dragons might want to tailor their Baldur’s Gate 3 Bard to achieve maximum performance and look into possible optimization options for their character. However, just how could players pull off the perfect Bard?<br><br>Clerics are capable of being one of the game's strongest healers and source of party buffs, but they can also be incredibly powerful spellcasters and melee brawlers that have access to spells similar to the Druid or Wizard's repertoire. No matter which BG3 Cleric domain you choose, all players get access to the Turn Undead, Destroy Undead, and Divine Intervention abilities at various levels, too.<br><br>There are a total of three BG3 subclasses Rogue 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. As you level up in one of these BG3 Rogue subclasses, you will gain more abilities that are unique to your subclass choice.<br><br>The Sorcerer is one of the most volatile Classes in all of [https://Www.Baldursgate3fans.com/ Baldur's Gate 3 Quests] Gate 3 thanks to their wild spells and ability to use Metamagic to enhance their spellcasting skills. Sorcerers are at their best when they put all of their effort into maximizing their damage output, which the Draconic Bloodline subclass offers in spades.<br><br>At seventh Level, Death Domain Clerics get Blight and Death Ward as Domain Spells. They then get Divine Strike: Necrotic at eighth level, allowing them to deal 1d8 necrotic damage in addition to their normal damage with a melee attack (once per turn).<br><br>For Rogues, this means sacrificing some Sneak Attack damage for the ability to perform another Sneak Attack in the same turn. Getting to Rogue 10 keeps Sneak Attack's bonus damage at a nice 5d6, and getting two of them off in one turn means a total of 10d6 damage on top of regular weapon damage – plus, the ability to wear heavier armor is a nice bonus, too.<br><br>In Baldur's Gate 3 , most classes have something to choose from with almost every level up. Some melee-oriented classes, like the Monk or Rogue, don't have anything to pick at certain levels. But thanks to its heavy reliance on spells, and the Metamagic system unique to the class, this BG3 Sorcerer build has quite a lot to consider every time it levels.<br>

The Helldusk Boots from the top floor of Wyrm's Rock Fortress complement the Armour, allowing the wearer to automatically succeed a saving throw by spending their reaction.
