How to choose your class for exploring Faerun.
Baldurs Gate 3is a D&D based RPG, meaning that all of itsclasseshave their pros and cons.
There are12 classesinBaldurs Gate 3, andthree or more subclasses per class.
One big consideration is flexibility.
Another one is survivability - both for your character and the rest of the party.
Baldurs Gate 3 is a difficult game and enemies can really pack a punch!
Thats why healing and buffing spells, like those available to Paladins and Bards, are so powerful.
They also get access to a range of attack options.
However, the early companionShadowheartis a very effective Cleric.
Without weapon skills, however, theyre a little less flexible than some of the other classes.
Barbarian
Barbarians trade off safety for power.
If you want toRagethrough enemies, throwing things and wreaking havoc, this is the class for you.
But be wary; Barbarians abilities can lead them into danger as much as get them out of it.
At the very least, if you choose this class, get used to quicksaving before fights.
I mean, you should do that anyway, but especially if youre playing as a Barbarian.

Berserker.
Wyllis a Warlock, but in my experience doubling up with Wyll isnt so bad.
However, theyre not the sturdiest of classes and can get into danger quickly.
Or maybe you do, if thats the build youre committed to!
This is incredibly powerful for rogues and highly recommended.
Fighter
With abilities likeAction SurgeandSecond Wind, Fighters are good at, well, fighting.
On the other hand, they typically lack spells, reducing their flexibility.

Battle Master.
Halsinis a companion who is recruitable later on in the game.
Later on you may even be able to add a third Druid, Jahira, to your party.
Bears all the way down!
They also get a really nice bright yellow base clothing set.
Just in case that tips you over the edge, decision wise.
