A character's class in Baldur's Gate 3 is one of their primary defining features. Each class represents a different calling, and each offers a number of unique abilities, powers, and skills that influence how that character is able to interact with the world. Classes determine most of a character's abilities - both in and out of combat. As a character advances in levels in a class they will gain incredible new powers and abilities.

The maximum character level in Baldur's Gate 3 is level 12.

Each class grants characters special dialogue choices only available to that class.

Subclasses

When a character reaches a certain level in a class they must select a subclass. The level that this choice is made at varies from class to class.

Subclasses allow characters to further specialize their character by imparting powerful new abilities focused around enhancing the central theme of the subclass. Choosing a subclass does not cause a character to stop gaining the normal benefits of a class when advancing in level - the benefits of a subclass are on top of the normal class abilities.

See below for a list of classes and their subclasses.

Multiclassing

A character's choice of class is not permanent. When gaining a new level, a character can choose to continue advancing in level in a class they already have levels in, or they can choose to gain a level in an entirely new class. This is called multiclassing. Doing so will grant most of the benefits of advancing in level in that additional class, with some limitations.

A multiclassed character does not receive all of the proficiencies of their new class. Multiclassing never grants saving throw proficiencies. A multiclassed character's proficiency bonus increases as normal, however.

A multiclassed character adds their total level in all classes together to determine their overall character level.

Multiclass Proficiencies

Class	Gained Proficiency	Class	Gained Proficiency
Barbarian	Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons	Bard	Light Armor, One skill, One instrument
Cleric	Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields	Druid	Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields
Fighter	Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons	Monk	Simple Weapons, Shortswords
Paladin	Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons	Ranger	Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons, One skill
Rogue	Light Armor, One skill	Sorcerer	-
Warlock	Light armor, Simple Weapons	Wizard	-
