<br>At level five, a Beast Master gains "Companion's Bond," adding their proficiency bonus to the damage rolls and AC of their Animal Companion. This also causes each animal companion to gain more HP and higher AC, along with some new abilities, as shown in the table below:<br><br>The Necromancy School is excellent on its own, but can also benefit greatly from mixing in the Circle of Spores Druid. With the ability to raise powerful undead using Wizard Spells and weaker cannon fodder as a reaction using Spore Druid, players can quickly magic up a small army once enemies start dying. Whether multiclassing or not, players should pick up the Necromancy of Thay book in Act 1 and unlock its secrets. This will eventually earn players a powerful new ability, summoning a squad of Ghouls to assist them once per long rest.<br><br>The Divination School is a tremendously powerful two-level dip for any build that has room for it, assuming the player is confident in their ability to use Portent Dice at the right moments. On the opposite side of things, a Divination Wizard with levels in Fighter for armor and Action Surge can also be tremendously effective.<br><br>At level five, they learn "Misty Step" as a second level spell, allowing them to teleport as a bonus action for better maneuverability. Level seven grants them "Iron Mind," giving them proficiency in intelligence and wisdom saving throws. Level nine allows them to access "Fear" as a third level spell, helping them to render foes vulnerable to attack and prevent them from moving.<br><br>The Conjuration School grants Wizards the abilities "Conjuration Savant" and "Minor Conjuration: Create Water" at level two. The former allows them to scribe conjuration spells into their spellbook for half the cost, while the latter allows them to create water as an action once per short rest (behaving identically to the "Create Water" part of the spell " Create or Destroy Water .")<br><br>Level 1 Hexblade Warlocks also receive the "Hexblade's Curse" ability , which curses a target to receive extra damage equal to the Warlock's proficiency bonus whenever the Warlock deals damage to them. It also reduces the number needed to roll a critical hit against that target by 1, and restores HP equal to the Warlock's Proficiency+Charisma Modifier when they kill the cursed target.

Initially, at third level, the Barbarian's rage becomes "Giant's Rage." This increases their size by one category when entering rage and doubles their rage bonus on throwing attacks (though a bug currently locks this bonus at +4, even at level 9 when it should be +6). They also gain the Thaumaturgy Cantrip, and the ability "Vaprak's Greed."

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.

Arcane Synergy stacks will empower their melee attacks after they use spells, while the elemental damage they deal with spells will buff their weapon, and adding their Intelligence modifier to elemental spell damage is tremendously useful. The Vivacious Cloak or Cloak of Displacement both serve as excellent defensive options, further reinforcing the Wizard's defenses. The Gloves of Battlemage's Power are also an excellent option for building up stacks of Arcane Synergy via spells like Booming Blade, or attacks made with the Shadow Blade (created by the spell of the same name).<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.

The Ring of Mental Inhibition is a great addition to your gear as a Swarmkeeper too. It'll apply mental fatigue on your enemy whenever they fail a saving throw, which makes them worse at Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma saving throws until they fail one. Failing deals psychic damage to them and removes all stacks of mental fatigue. By pairing this with the Braindrain Gloves, the Strange Conduit Ring, and either the Sword of Screams or Voss' Silver Sword, you can dish out a decent amount of damage. If you're playing as a Githyanki, you can also make use of the Psionic Ward Armour and Boots of Psionic Movement to further empower this setup. The main downside to this is that there aren't many ways for Rangers to force Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma saving throws, so you'll need to rely on other members of your party to detonate the mental fatigue stacks.

Baldur's Gate 3 companions Gate 3 's Barbarian Class is focused on strength and durability first and foremost, with access to the highest base HP of any class alongside abilities like Rage to allow them to withstand incoming damage and dish out a ton of damage themselves.

The Berserker replaces Rage with Frenzy for greater offensive benefits, the Wildheart takes primal animal aspects to gain additional powers while raging, and the Wild Magic Barbarian wields chaotic magic to strengthen their rage and fortify their body. Barbarians choose their subclass when they reach level three.

This makes for an interesting moral dilemma, with players essentially being villains who are enforcing the demands of a heinous lea

This allows the Wild Magic Sorcerer to, as the name suggests, bend luck in their fa

At level Six, Wild Magic Barbarians gain three "Bolstering Magic" abilities, which allow them to provide a bonus to themselves or an ally in melee range. They can use "Bolstering Magic: Boon" to add a 1d4 bonus to attack rolls and ability checks or use their Bolstering Boon to restore a single level one, two, or three spell slot.

Players choose a party of three, choosing from a roster of characters that are all twists on classic archetypes from D&D.
