Depending on the size of the enemy, you'll get a Feeble Spectre, Mundane Spectre, or Primordial Spectre. Larger Spectres have a few extra skills, and all Spectres act as useful allies in combat who can teleport to cursed targets. In terms of multiclassing, the Swarmkeeper Ranger pairs very well with Thief or Assassin Rogues , the former being particularly useful in a dual-wielding build while the latter performs better if you're using a ranged weapon. A few fighter levels for Action Surge and Second Wind can also be very strong on any Ranger. At eleventh level, you gain Mighty Swarm, which increases the bonus damage from the Swarm's damage effect to 1d8 of the appropriate damage type. It also boosts your AC by 2 for a turn after using the teleport ability, and adds extra effects to the utility ability as shown in the table below: Updated on April 24th, 2025, by Thomas Hawkins: With the release of Baldur's Gate 3 Path 8, every class has gained access to a new subclass. In the Ranger's case, they can now select Swarmkeeper, commanding swarms of fey spirits in the shape of various creatures to aid them in battle. From legions of Bees, to Clouds of Jellyfish, to Flurries of Moths, the Swarmkeeper excels at using their swarm of choice to damage and weaken their foes. This guide has been updated to explain the Swarmkeeper subclass and provide advice on equipment and multiclassing combos that perform especially well with their abilities. Players looking to strengthen their defenses further should instead grab the Bonespike set, consisting of the "Bonespike Helmet", "Bonespike Garb", "Bonespike Gloves", and "Bonespike Boots." These generate temporary hit points, boost AC, allow attacks to ignore physical resistances, and add a chance for raging to cause psychic damage to nearby foes. Great Old One Warlocks (sometimes called "Goolocks" by D&D players) make their pact with eldritch beings in the Far Realms whose goals are inscrutable and alien. At level one, a Goolock gains the power "Mortal Reminder," which causes them to frighten the target and all nearby enemies for a turn when they land a critical hit. This can be great for weakening enemy groups, though since it triggers only on critical hits, it can't be relied upon. In Act 1 , which typically brings players up to around Level 5 , you will be able to choose your Warlock Subclass (Great Old One), pick up your first set of three Cantrips (don't forget Eldritch Blast), learn a few basic Warlock spells, and pick up your first two Eldritch Invocations. At Level 2, all Warlocks get to choose two Eldritch Invocations, unique abilities that can grant passive or active skills. At Level 2, only a few Eldritch Invocations are available to choose from, but as Warlocks level up more powerful options become available.
