Classes

A class defines the playstyle of a character, the Spells they can cast (if at all), the Skills they can choose to gain Proficiency with, the Class Features they have access to, the Weapons and Armor they have proficiency with, and which Abilities should be prioritised. Each class also has a number of subclasses, which become available either at creation or after a sufficient level has been reached. Subclasses further specialise a character and may change that character's strengths. For example, an Oath of Vengeance Paladin would typically take a more offensive role, while an Oath of the Ancients Paladin would typically take a more defensive role, though this will vary depending on the choices a player makes.

When creating a character in Baldur's Gate 3, players must choose one of twelve classes, listed below, based on Dungeons & Dragons 5e classes adapted for video game use.
