If you are dead set on including a character in your party, simply talk to Withers to respec them to one of the optimal Druid companion classes listed above. This way, you won't miss out on that character's questline, and you won't have to suffer from an improperly balanced party.

The Nature Domain grants the Cleric abilities suited to one who wields the power of the natural world, drawing some parallels to the Druid class in the process. This begins at level one with the Domain Spells "Speak with Animals" and "Animal Friendship," allowing them to speak clearly with animals and charm them into not attacking.

Updated on April 25th, 2025, by Thomas Hawkins: With the release of Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3, twelve new subclasses have been added to the game, one for each of the game's main classes. Paladin players may now choose the Oath of the Crown, an Oath devoted to the Ideals of Civilization and upholding law and order. With abilities allowing them to draw enemy attention, empower their allies, and even sacrifice their own health to protect others, the Oath of the Crown is ideal for protecting and healing your team.

At level six, Tempest Clerics learn "Thunderous Strike," letting them push large or smaller foes back up to 3m after hitting them with thunder or lightning damage. Level seven Tempest Clerics learn "Ice Storm" and "Freedom of Movement." This allows them to conjure a powerful hailstorm and prevent a target's movement from being affected by difficult terrain, spells, or water.

There are a total of seven BG3 Circles (subclasses) Druid 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 Druid subclasses, you will gain more abilities that are unique to your subclass choice.

Hunter - Colossus Slayer: After taking Sword Bard 6 and acquiring Extra Attack, going for Ranger and grabbing Hunter for Colossus Slayer can give a decent 1d8 Damage once per turn. If a Bard has Sharpshooter for the -5 to Attack Roll but +10 to Damage, pairing this with Colossus Slayer can enhance the Ranger’s DPS potential.

At Level 3, they gain additional spells and abilities associated with their Oath, including two new ways to Channel their Oath. Sacred Weapon allows them to turn their weapon into a Sacred Weapon, adding their Charisma Bonus to attack rolls with it. Turn the Unholy allows them to ward off Undead and Fiends by making them afraid of the Paladin. They also gain the spells " Protection from Evil and Good " and " Sanctuary " as additional prepared spells.

Naturally, the Oath of the Crown Paladin works well with all the usual Paladin equipment, like the Armour of Devotion, Blackguard's Sword, Gloves of Heroism, and Helmet of Smiting. They can also make good use of the Blackguard set, which can be found during Act 3. As always, the Helldusk Armor is excellent heavy armor if you have access to it, and the Flawed Helldusk Armor accessible during Act 2 makes a good substitute until you can get it.

Each of the classes available to the player in baldur's Gate 3 druid circle of stars Gate 3 possess a variety of abilities and capabilities that allow them to explore the world and engage in combat. Each class can then choose a subclass, gaining abilities themed around that particular subclass that further diversify that character from others using that class. For the Wizard, the subclasses are known as "Schools," and one can be chosen for each of the eight schools of magic.

When looking for some endgame armor, you could consider the Helldusk Armor acquired from the House of Hope. Getting the full set means facing off with Raphael and his incredible boss music, so it's highly recommended. The Helldusk Armor makes you fire-resistant, immune to burns, inflicts burns on casters if you succeed in the saving throw against their spell, reduces all damage you take by 3, and allows you to fly. The Helldusk Boots can be found on the top floor of Wyrmrock Fortress, providing the wearer with fiery teleportation and immunity to being forcibly moved by enemy spells and actions. They also let you spend a reaction to change a failed saving throw into a success, helping you shrug off dangerous effects and trigger the Helldusk Armor's burn effect. Add in the Helldusk Helmet (Also found in the House of Hope) to gain immunity to critical hits, immunity to being blinded, and to deal extra fire damage against any target that is burning. Alternatively, Sarevok's Helmet could be an excellent choice, reducing the target number for landing a Critical Hit to facilitate even more damage. You can find Sarevok's Helmet by defeating Sarevok at the Murder Tribunal.

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.
