'''Non-player Characters''' (also known as NPCs) are game characters not controlled by the player. 


'''Non-player characters''' (also known as '''NPCs''') are characters not controlled by the player. They have pre-determined behaviours and defined [[ability score]]s, [[class action]]s, and inventories. NPCs commonly have dialogue and voice lines, and many NPCs in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] are involved in [[quests]].
For the purposes of keeping this information digestible, only named characters, with sufficient dialogue or story significance will be listed here.  
= [[Prologue]] =
== [[Nautiloid]] ==


Some NPCs, particularly humanoid ones, have sets of abilities that mimic [[Avatar|player character]] progression. A [[ranger]] archetype NPC might have ranger-like abilities such as {{SAI|Hunter's Mark}} or {{SAI|Ensnaring Strike}}. Other NPCs can have class actions that are unique to them and cannot be learned by player characters.

* [[Lae'zel]] (Companion, Origin Character)

* [[Commander Zhalk]]


== Types of NPC ==
= [[Act One]] =
NPCs can be divided into a number of archetypes that are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
== [[Ravaged Beach]] ==


=== Boss ===
*[[Astarion]] (Companion, Origin Character)
: An informal term used by the [[Baldur's Gate 3]] playerbase to describe unique, particularly strong enemies. Bosses usually have special and powerful abilities, and are often in set-piece areas that play to their strengths. Bosses also often drop plentiful loot, and might have a few unique magic items as well. However, whether an NPC is a boss is ultimately subjective. See [[Bosses]].
*[[Gale]] (Companion, Origin Character)
*[[Damays]]
*[[Nymessa]]
*[[Stranded Fisher]] ([[Early Access]] only)
*[[Dying Mindflayer]]


== [[Overgrown Ruins]] ==

=== Camp Follower ===  
=== [[Refectory]] ===
: A camp follower is an NPC that remains at camp and cannot be invited to the player's party. They usually have [[quests]] tied to them, provide lore and may provide services. See [[Camp followers]].
* [[Andorn]]
* [[Barton]]
* [[Cefrey]]
* [[Haseid]]
* [[Mari]]
* [[Torgga]]


=== [[Dank Crypt]] ===
* [[Withers]] (Camp Follower)


=== Companion ===
==[[Emerald Grove]]==
: A companion is an NPC that often has a very large number of interactions. When added to the player's party, they take up one of the four slots available and temporarily become a playable character, albeit with special interactions that a custom player character does not have. They can also still be entered into dialogue with. See [[Companions]].
=== [[Emerald Grove#Emerald Grove Ramparts|Emerald Grove Ramparts]] ===
==== Temporary companions ====
*[[Nadira]]
: A temporary companions can be recruited party members during [[All Quests|quests]] or through world interactions. Unlike camp followers, temporary companions are able to join as party members and some can become temporary playable characters. See [[Temporary companion]]s.
