Sorcerers can choose two skills from a list of six, but depending on the background you choose, one will not be an option (as it will already be taken). The Noble background gives proficiency on History and Persuasion, which removes one choice from the Sorcerer's relatively brief list of six skill proficiencies.
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.
This section covers the best equipment for Life Domain Clerics in BG3 across all three Acts. Some pieces from early Acts may still be powerful in later ones, though, and will remain equipped through several Acts.
In terms of multiclassing, the Swarmkeeper Ranger pairs very well with Thief or Assassin Rogues , the former being particularly useful in a dual-wielding build while the latter performs better if you're using a ranged weapon. A few fighter levels for Action Surge and Second Wind can also be very strong on any Ranger.
In Baldur's Gate 3 , Warlock builds can be enhanced further with the use of specific consumables. Certain potions, like the Ellixir of Battlemage's Power, will grant combat-oriented bonuses for this best Warlock build, while others, like the Potion of Arcane Cultivation, will make it easier to cast more spells more often by restoring Spell Slots.
The Beast Master Plaguebringer Subclass gains the ability "Summon Companion," allowing them to call forth a number of different animal companions to aid them in combat. These animal companions are considerably stronger than those summoned by the "Find Familiar" spell. All Companions have the "Prey's Scent" ability, which causes them to deal 1d6 extra damage to a creature marked by the Beast Master's "Hunter's Mark" spell.
The Githyanki give Warlocks an improved Mage Hand from level 1, the ability to improve party member's Jump distance at Level 3, and the Misty Step skill at Level 5 – three extremely useful abilities. Githyanki also give Warlocks armor proficiencies the class wouldn't normally have access to, namely light and medium armor, to further improve their defensive capabilities.
The Shapeshifter Hat, Armor of Moonbasking, and Mutiliated Carapace can be found during Act 3, all of which are designed to benefit a character while in Wildshape (or, in the case of the Mutilated Carapace, when disguised in any way.) The Armor of Moonbasking grants 22 temporary HP while in Wildshape, reduces damage taken by 1 while those temporary HP remain, grants a +2 bonus to AC, and grants advantage to saving throws against spells. All of these effects remain while in Wildshape. The Shapeshifter Hat increases the number of Wildshape charges by 1, while the Mutilated Carapace grants +1 to attack and damage rolls while shapeshifting or disguised.
The Sorcerer and Warlock multiclass build is one of the most popular in BG3 because of high damage potential, both class' reliance on Charisma, and the added bonuses that the Warlock class can provide to a Sorcerer, like armor proficiency.
The Drow are one of the most versatile , role-filling Races in Baldur's Gate 3 for a few important reasons. Their enhanced Darkvision is not to be sneered at, especially when one considers that it helps spells hit their targets in the dark. Plus, Drow have Advantage on Perception through Keen Senses.
At level six, Illusion Wizards can "See Invisibility" as an action. This allows them to see invisible foes and has a decent chance of revealing them to allies, too (unless they succeed the Dexterity Saving Throw). Level 10 Illusion Wizards get "Illusory Self," allowing them to create an Illusory Double as a reaction to take a hit for them. This causes the incoming attack to automatically miss, and the double is instantly destroyed. This can only be used once per short rest.
Putting all of this together, players will be able to create huge icy surfaces using spells that deal cold damage, with even the Ray of Frost Cantrip creating a decent amount of ice thanks to the Snowburst Ring, and inflicting the chilled and frost-encrusted conditions in the process. These two conditions both apply vulnerability to cold damage and can be used to freeze foes solid too.
This table displays recommended BG3 Sorcerer build choices for every level, including recommended spells you should add to your Spellbook while leveling. These spells synergize well with the BG3 Draconic Sorcerer build, and include a variety of single-target and AoE damage abilities as well as ways to boost your damage and options in combat with the right Metamagic choices.
When Multiclassing with the Circle of the Moon, it is important to understand that a lot of features won't work while in Wildshape. Generally speaking, Class Actions that require the player to spend an action or bonus action will be unavailable while in Wildshape, but passive abilities will. Thus, abilities like Unarmored Defense (from Barbarian and Monk) will function in Wildshape (as long as the character wasn't wearing armor when they entered Wildshape), as will the Improved Critical ability from Champion Fighter. The War Cleric Extra Attack also works while Wildshaped, which can be useful. Players can also take levels in Barbarian and enter a Rage before using Wildshape to benefit from Rage while in Wildshape.
