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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

The Sorcerer is one of the most volatile Classes in all of 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.

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).

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.

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.
