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.

Much like any other Paladin, Oath of the Crown pairs nicely with a Warlock utilizing Pact of the Blade or the Hexblade subclass. College of Swords Bard is also a great class to mix in for more combat options via flourishes. Fighter levels for access to Action Surge and Second Wind are also a decent choice when multiclassing.

The build is notably proficient in Heavy Armor, a proficiency granted by the Life Domain subclass itself. It also has several Cantrips that keep allies alive and enemies weak when their relatively limited spell slots are expended – but their Domain Spells are always prepared, leaving room for other spells to diversify options.
Oath of Devotion Paladins are the classical Knights in Shining Armor , defenders of the weak and the greater good. They can Channel their Oath using Divine Rebuke, placing a divine ward on an ally that deals radiant damage to anything that attacks them with a melee attack.

This multiclass choice has little impact on a character's ability to use high-level spells. Because both classes are Prepared Spellcasters, and the ability to learn from scrolls only requires one level, a Cleric 11 Wizard 1 character will still be able to use Level 6 spells and have Level 6 spell slots unlocked.

The Oath of Vengeance Paladin is a prime choice for multiclassing with either Bard or Warlock, the former to take advantage of The College of Swords and its excellent assortment of Flourishes, and the latter to consolidate weapon attacks and spellcasting under a single stat by using Pact of the Blade and get spell slots that recharge on a short rest for more Divine Smites.

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.

The Urchin background grants proficiency in Sleight of Hand and Stealth, so these two classic Rogue options are removed from their massive list of 11 possible skills. Charlatans lose Deception and Sleight of Hand, while Guild Artisans lose Persuasion and Insight.


Players who choose a Blue Dragon as their Draconic Ancestry will learn Witch Bolt as an additional first level spell, while a Bronze Dragon will instead grant Fog Cloud . At level 6, they will gain resistance to lightning damage and a boost to lightning damage de

If you're multiclassing with Barbarian, we recommend Leather Armour +2 for the early-game and then either the Bhaalist Armour or Elegant Studded Leather in the late-game. If you're looking for heavy armor, you should consider grabbing the Adamantine Splint Armour during Act 1, Dwarven Splintmail from Moonrise Towers during Act 2, or the Flawed Helldusk Armour from Damon in Act 2. Another decent option is the Rippling Force Mail. You can swap in the Reaper's Embrace or Armour of Persistence later, before picking up the Helldusk Armour as your final set.

The best Cleric companions in BG3 are Lae'Zel as your melee bruiser, Gale as your ranged damage-dealer, and Astarion as a versatile blend of melee and Stealth maneuvers. Though you can change the class and specialization of any of your companions, these three come with strong pre-determined class and spec combos to balance out your Cleric party composition.
