Baldur's Gate 3 - Multiclass Guide 

Paladin + Pact of the Blade Warlock - no need to put points into strength since your primary stat for both attacking and spellcasting is Charisma. Can't wait to see some of the fun interactions people make as the game keeps going.

Rogue Druid actually slaps too, using cat form to get into hostile areas and hiding for sneak attacks

I’m multi classing but I have no idea what I’m doing but so far I’ve been enjoying it 😁

Warlock 1/ Sorcerer 2-12 - Both scale off Charisma - Eldrich Blast scales on overall level - Sorcerer points gained from Warlock spells

Paladin Oath of The Ancients + Bard, School of Swords, literally makes your character so flamboyant and charismatic, you just can win with Words and Dance

Another very effective and straightforward combo is Eldritch Knight Fighter and Barbarian, with the first Feat being "Tavern Brawler", and using Throwing Weapons. Get a high STR Bonus, as this affects Accuracy and Damage when throwing. Eldritch Knight on level 1 gets the "Bind Weapon" ability, which not only makes you immune to stuff like disarm, but any weapon you throw will automatically return to your hand. Barbarian Class gets extra accuracy and damage on throwing weapons during rage. And finally, Tavern Brawler doubles your STR Modifier for accuracy and damage on Throwing Weapons. There are also a host of good Throwing Weapons in the game, as well as several magic items further buffing damage when throwing. Thanks to the high STR the build demands, this also supercharges your Jump ability, making it way easier to take Highground.

Caps out at level 12 for anyone not on pc. There's a mod allows leveling to 20.

Fighter 1 -> Wizard 11 BG3 does not have strength minimums for heavy armor and does not require a free hand for spellcasting. Therefore a 21+ AC wizard with concentration proficiency is possible

level 1 fighter. the rest of them, wizard. this gives you constitution proficiency as a wizard, allows you to use heavy armor (so you can dump dex) and you get action surge to get an extra spell per turn. also, you are barely behind your allies

I looked up the subclasses and I hope they add celestial warlocks and divine soul sorcerers! With that combination you can have access to three spell trees!

Oath Breaker Paladin + Eldritch Knight Fighter is an AMAZING spellsword!

Vengeance Paladin/Light Cleric, makes you a radiant damage machine. Legendary mace/shield, Turn/Destroy undead, aura of protection, guardian spirits and fireball just for kicks. Plus you can get double the spell slots, an extra attack and up to level 4 smite (base paladin caps out at lvl 3).

So far since I’ve been playing at higher difficulty, it’s best to wait til Act 2 to Multiclass because lvls 1-5 (extra attack) it’s better to stay full class then dividing those levels. (Unless you are wanting Thief for bonus action or Fighter for Action Surge because those are before 5 but now you also potentially lose a feat which could help Early Game) When Multiclassing, the first class you pick is the one you want the save proficiency with. Ex. If adding Rouge, pick that first for extra proficiency (or like he suggested in the video if you want CON save proficiency-ideal for Concentrating on spells-go Sorceror first) I do like all of the builds on RU-vid (full class and multi class) There really is no wrong answer. Min/Maxing isn’t always the most fun. It shows how creative this community is and I love that about this game.

I really want to try a Rogue Sorcerer spell sword type build. Its one of my favorite 5e builds to make

One of my favorite Dnd multiclasses (BG3 mileage may vary) is Champion fighter and Gloomstalker Ranger with a greatsword. With the great weapon fighting style, 1s and 2s get rerolled, so the dps is much higher, along side Ranger spells like Zephyr Strike or Entangling Strike and improved critical from champion means rolling 4d6 on a 10% roll plus a d8 or d6 from spells.

This is my first baldurs gate game I'm pretty confused with everything playing today on ps5 and man there's so much stuff and classes and stats. So I'm just reading everything in the game and trying to understand multiclasses and everything

Not anything special but I'm doing a rouge/Wizard. Keep in mind im running off what I know from ver 3.5. Its the D&D version I used to play. The idea being a rouge is kind of a skilled class and so benefits from a higher intelligence score at first level while wizards use that same score for spells known and bonus spells (which might not be a thing in this version*). Get an average strength score and a high dex. The wizard also has a subclass that lets you reroll a failed check which is very usefull when you flop a lock pick or disarm trap check. 🔪

I went for Bard Fighter because those are my two favorite to make a jack of all trades character roleplay wise

When I have played RPGs with some form of multiclassing in the past, I have always found the best rule to be asking "What is my primary class weak in?". This helps me narrow my options to ones that allow me to fill in that skill/stat weakness. Example: Many fighter types require strength for many of their skills but might be weak in skills like magic, sneaking or the like. So I would combine a fighter with either a Rogue or Ranger type character to open up new options and minimize weakness. My personal best example of this was KOTOR 2. I often started with the Jedi Sentinel for the technical points, given how many challenges require it throughout the first half of the game. And given how much combat picks up in the second half of the game, I would balance out the technical abilities of the Sentinel with the combat focus of a Jedi Battlemaster.

I would like to see a full list of every class combo and how they fare.

Haven’t tried in Balders gate yet but in DND a assassin rogue, Gloomstalker ranger gives you insane damage.

im running fighter warlock (2-2) with the remaining levels in sorcerer! killer fun!

I think they should just disable "overall" level cap and once you leveled to 12 on one proficiency you could add another class so that way you don't miss out on your main class but still can multiclass.

Attacks 4 times each turn and with action surge attacks 6 times. Level 6 Fighter subclass champion with level 3 rogue with the thief subclass. Dual wield crit machine

oh even in custom diffculty you can't multi-class if you have it on explorer difficulty? What's the difference in difficulties in custom mode?

If I want to be mainly mage, but a little bit thief to use a crossbow and unlock chests, what is the best ratio?

Thank you! I looked up this video just to know if it was possible and IT IS! Some people call me crazy but I will use this to make my Neverwinter nights character in Baldur's Gate 3: Liam Hojarcana, a fighter - mage half elf and one of my best characters of all my dnd adventures

4 levels college of swords bard + 8 levels of fiend warlock with pact of blades/ duel-wielding!

Where did you get your characters' outfits? It's really cool looking! The Sorcerer/Bard outfit in the beginning.

Can you change your class without asking withers yes or no? Every where I’ve looked it was no but it says there’s a trophy for changeing class without asking withers. How can change my class without asking withers and if it’s possible how do I do that?

Rouge/fighter makes a good stealth archer in dnd how’s it work out in balders gate I play to buy this after Xmas and wanna build this class 😊

Can you multi-class on the PlayStation 5 of Baldur's Gate 3

I found it to be pretty tough to multi class. For me, the advantage of maxing out 1 class always outweighed what I got from mixing. Might try again on my second run.

Got two campaigns running right now. One solo, one with a buddy. Solo run is a drow rogue whilst my secondary game im running a bard paladin

Bard + two levels of Paladin to become a smite factory.

I'm doing a "Kratos" Karlach build by dipping into monk as a berserker barb, with a versatile weapon like a longsword or quarterstaff she can put out some serious damage, and moves like 15m

Probably public knowledge by now, but you can rob withers to get all your gold back, and he doesn't care.

So wish that each class had its own separate levels so my characters could level beyond 12.... Like my class can only level to twelve but my actual character can have a personal level of far beyond that

I’m a level 6 paladin at the beginning of act 2 wanting to multi class with a fighter to get more hits. Am I too late?

If i multiclass with wizard, will i be able to learn spells from scrolls

Precise and thorough 👌🏾

Anyone know if you gain weapon proficiencies from multiclassing? I cannot find a straight answer on this.

So... you didnt mention monks. Are there no good multiclass combos for them?

Im trying to out bard-barbarian for my second pay through 😫then my campions shadow is a cleric-warlock and the astarion is rouge-monk and then idk what im gonna do for gale yet

I am going to push multiclassing to its absolute limits if balders gate will allow it to the same extent as 5e 1 level in all 12 classes I am currently unsure if I actually can as nothing I've seen has more than 2 classes, but Imma try it anyway

One thing that slowed me down on console - there is no icon to select to multi-class, rather hold X/Square (Xbox v PS5).

ive been playing rogue bard, honestly a ton of fun.

Im looking forward to getting this when its on sale. Looks like a great time

I like using sorcery points to get back warlock slots but the cap is 12?

Cool Judge Jake with exactly the information I need. Thank you!

The real question is do the dialogues show both classes? 🤔

Playing on balanced and it just doesn't show for me. No multiclass button.

Thanks, now I get it. I'm going to make Brennan Lee Mulligan's rabbit assasin.

I have a question: I wanted to make a character focused on dexterity and constitution, after some consideration to my play style I decided to make a (way of the elements) monk and (wildheart) barbarian but witch one should I put as the first class? Barbarians have higher hp but strength is it’s main attribute will it affect its performance if I put everything in dexterity an nothing on strength or putting the secondary class as monk fix that?

I don't know if it's a good Builder. I just really want to be a Bard Barbarian half orc. I really enjoy how he looks and right now he's a level 2 bard. I'm definitely going to have to increase his strength when I make him a barbarian as well

I find it so funny I found this video specifically because I wanted to make a Druid barbarian haha!

Gonna attempt a barbarian/druid build... Let's see what happens lol

I want to multiclass fighter and barb to het the rage, it makes sense?

What's the armor called that you have on for your bard, looks cool.

ty wanna know how this works gonah try it out😁

Just fyi 100g from withers is nothing and you can steal it back off him and even if he catches you stealing it don't make a difference he won't leave you and nothing negative impacts the game. Why? Because the dead do not need gold lol

Arcane Trickster 4/Lore Bard 8 is awesome.

Ally Beardsley from D20 has a level 5 gloom stalker level 3 assassinthat just racks up damage on a sneak attack

My question is, and hopefully someone can help me out. If I am a level 5 Ranger and THEN a level 4 Paladin do I use wisdom for all my spell castings or only for my Ranger spells, and then charisma for my Paladin spells? Thanks for the help :)

I have no clue what im doing so thats half the fun lol but ive made gale a sage/fighter and astarion an assasin/cleric lets hope this goes somewhat good

My favorite multiclass is one in all of them

Would a rogue monk work in any way?

Some suggestion for a newby who has a carachter wich is a fighter-barbarian?

thanks i was wondering how to multiclass

AFTER 4 PLAYTHROUGHS IM ONLY LEARNING THIS NOW!?

I hate that I finished the game without multiclassing

I wanna play this so much but iv never played a turn based game before, are they hard to play?

Druid + Barbarian is pretty handy

200 hours in the game and I did not know this was a thing. I thought magic initiate is what people meant by multiclassing

also for consle right

I beat the game on tactician twice.... i had no idea this existed

No one says what button you click to actually MC.

Can warlock and rogue work ?

What's a Saucer class?

How do you do it on console tho

Rogue/barbarian Karlach ?

Going a rogue, ranger build. Going as lara croft

I want to do a rogue bard hybrid based on dandelion from the witcher

Imma do a Sorc/Fighter next run and nobody can stop me 😈

Can’t wait until mods allow level 99 and new enemies

Where is your review ?

Ut would be great if multiclassing warlock into other caster classes didnt obliterate you ability to use warlock spells, which are going to be most of your spells until level 12...

ik this is my first time experiencing anything dnd related buut IMA DO IT ANYWAY

I can't believe they didn't mentuon Sorlock or Bardlock.

5 levels in barb, 2 in fighter, another 5 in paladin i think ive been told smite or something that gives you a 1d6 does not count as a spell so you can use it in a rage

Barbarian to Cleric boy

Nah bro, I need that platinum

Pala and barb :3

Anyine know how to do this on ps5

me finding this out after 2 playthroughs...

Monk cleric

Install the 20 lvl mod, done

On PS5, I don't see a button to multiclass

level cap lvl 12.. hmm :_(

Ty i did not understand.
