To avoid being hindered by your own icy terrain, it's important to pick up the Hoarfrost Boots from the Inquisitor's Chamber at the Githyanki Creche too, taking the opportunity to buy Winter's Clutches from Lady Esther at the Rosymorne Monastery Trail too (These can also be acquired by completing the quest "Avenge Glut's Circle" in the Underdark, as long as players side with Glut.)

The three Drow cantrips – Dancing Lights, Faerie Fire, and Darkness – are all situationally useful, too. Faerie Fire, granted at Level 3, is the most useful as it grants Advantage on all attacks against affected targets.


An interesting part regarding the Hunting Shortbow is how it’s built to fight Monstrosities. This particular creature type is reserved for enemies who aren’t normally found in nature and are often magical in terms of their creation. While the Advantage is only granted against these creatures, the constant access to this buff can make the weapon worth the switch when they are encounte

With the Druid's intrinsic Wild Shape ability, a Druid 9 Ranger 3 build will be able to summon a Bear companion, then shapeshift into a Bear themselves. It's always good to have more companions on the battlefield, so enemies have more targets to choose from. Having two bears in the party, alongside proper Support companions, makes for a fun and fearsome melee frontline.

The main benefits of Half-Orcs in BG3 are these two passives, called Savage Attacks and Relentless Endurance. Savage Attacks increases damage dealt by Critical Hits, while Relentless Endurance prevents Fighters from going down when they get to 0 HP once per Long Rest. For this Circle of the Moon build, which capitalizes on the Druid's abilities in melee combat, Half-Orcs offer the most impactful racials.

For example, players could focus on lightning damage, picking up the Spellsparkler staff from Waukeen's Rest (by rescuing Counsellor Florrick), the Jolty Vest from Brem in the Zhentarim Hideout, and the Watersparkers from the chest behind Minthara at the Goblin Camp. Add the Blast Pendant, worn by one of the Petrified Drow near the Selunite Outpost, and the Sparkswall Ring from the Mage Tower Basement in the Underdark. Buy the Lifebringer from Blurg in the Underdark Colony to complete the ensemble. After reaching Grymforge in Act 1, players should replace the Jolty Vest with the Protecty Sparkswall for better spell save DCs and pick up The Real Sparky Sparkswall shield, also found in Grymforge.

In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Sorcerer, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Sorcerer, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.

Wyll : A Fiend Warlock, Wyll's spell list is somewhat limited compared to Gale, being a Warlock comes with its own benefits. Play Wyll as a hybrid of both ranged damage and ranged control, inflicting CC on enemies as often as you attack them

The Circle of Stars Druid is ideally positioned to use the Luminous Set. This set of equipment revolves around applying the radiating orb condition to enemies, which lowers all of their attack rolls by the number of turns remaining on the condition, and also emits bright light. By wearing the Callous Glow Ring and Coruscation Ring, the Druid can easily apply radiating orbs and buff their radiant damage against targets who are illuminated. Pick up the Hellrider's Pride Gauntlets to apply Blade Ward to allies whenever you heal them, and replace them with the Gloves of Belligerant Skies once you can to stack Reverberation, and regularly knock enemies prone just by using your Luminous Arrow and Guiding Bolt.

At level nine, the Circle of Stars Druid receives an additional Star Map and Cosmic Omen per long rest, giving them four of each. Finally, at level ten, the Circle of Stars Druid gains Twinkling Constellations, empowering each of their Starry Forms and allowing them to switch form as a free action once per turn. Archer's Luminous Arrow now deals 2d8 Radiant Damage, Chalice now Heals 2d8 hit points, and Dragon can now fly 6m/20ft per turn.
