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:

Naturally, as a spellcasting-focused Druid subclass, the Circle of Stars Druid will also benefit greatly from most of the equipment we recommended for the Circle of the Land Druid. Spell Save DC-boosting items like Melf's First Staff, the Cloak of the Weave, and Markoheshkir can be incredibly useful to the Circle of the Stars Druid, making it harder for enemies to resist their spells.

The Ranger subclasses in Baldur's Gate 3 classes guide 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.
At level three, the Druid learns "Blindness" and "Detect Thoughts" as additional spells which are always prepared. This allows them to temporarily blind their foes and read minds with ease. At level four, they learn an additional cantrip. Level 5 has them learn "Animate Dead" and "Gaseous Form," letting them create undead allies from nearby corpses and transform someone into a gaseous entity to move through tight spaces and/or better evade damage.

Each day, players get eight Dice to spend on these abilities, each of which uses just one. Of the choices presented to players, Menacing Attack, Pushing Attack, and Riposte are the ones players should prioritize first, though Riposte can be replaced with Rally if your party lacks healing .

Spore Druids can make excellent use of any staff that has added damage, such as the Gold Wyrmling Staff (Act 1, Sold by Roah Moonglow at the Goblin Camp) or the Cacophony Staff (Act 1, Sold by Lady Esther at the Rosymorn Monastery Trail) since the bonus damage will stack with the necrotic damage from Symbiotic Entity. When paired with the Shillelagh spell these staves can dish out a surprising amount of damage while scaling entirely off the Druid's Wisdom. This can be further boosted using the Polearm Master Feat.

Each of Baldur's Gate 3 's classes has different abilities and skills to aid them in exploration and combat. The Cleric class is a divine spellcaster who wield magic in the service of their god. Each of the Cleric Subclasses reflects a domain their god has dominion over, and grants the Cleric unique abilities relating to that domain.

It's a good idea to have one or two melee-focused party members, a perfect slot for the Fighter Class to fill in. The best Fighter build in BG3 is one that takes the class' melee prowess and turns it into a close-quarters devastator via the Battle Master subclass.

The Fighter is a class that's meant to be played up-close-and-personal. Whether that's through sheer brutality or magical assistance is up to the player – no matter their choice of Subclass, Fighters gain a few abilities that set them apart from other melee-oriented classes like the Barbarian.

Rogues are masters of Stealth and are easily able to slink in and out of dangerous situations while masterfully gaining Advantage whenever possible. They are very good at Lockpicking and Disarming traps, and can dual-wield with ease, making them a good addition to a team that needs a dextrous melee member to do some dirty work.

At Level 1, the best two Expertise choices are Stealth and Persuasion, as these play well into the Rogue's strengths in sneaky combat and dialogue checks. Later down the line, players can pick up Insight and Sleight of Hand at Level 6, though players who don't do much pickpocketing may find that Deception is a more useful skill to gain Expertise in here.

Players could alternatively use the Flawed Helldusk Gloves, sold by Dammon in Act 2, for a larger boost to initial damage dealt. These can be replaced with the Helldusk Gloves during Act 3 for an even bigger boost.

A great early weapon for a Death Domain Cleric is Loviatar's Scourge (either wielded by or on a table near Abdirak in the Goblin Camp, depending on whether he is currently using it). It deals Necrotic damage to all nearby creatures (including the wielder) whenever swung, but also grants the user resistance to Necrotic damage (which applies to the self-damage). You should also pick up the Ring of Arcane Synergy from Crèche Y'llek so that you can buff your weapon damage by making use of your cantrips.

The Circle of Spores Druid has a tremendous amount of synergy with the Necromancy School available to Wizards, and taking six levels of Wizard will allow them to create a much greater range of undead minions to aid them in battle. This has the added benefit of granting them access to the entire Wizard spell list thanks to both classes being full casters, though a character will need to invest in intelligence to make full use of the Wizard spells. The Circle of Spores also synergizes well with the Monk, allowing players to brawl in melee and improve their AC using their Wisdom, which will already be pretty high since it's the Druid's spellcasting stat. Fighter and Ranger are both excellent multiclass choices too, offering Extra Attack at level 5 to dish out more Necrotic Damage while using Symbiotic Entity. Ranger synergizes slightly better due to also providing additional spell slots. (Rangers are half-casters so half of the Ranger Level, rounded down, is added to the effective caster level when multiclassing.)
