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. | {{PageSeo | ||

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 [[Proficiency|proficiencies]] of their new class. Multiclassing never grants saving throw proficiencies. A multiclassed character's [[Die_Rolls#Proficiency_Bonus|proficiency bonus]] increases as normal, however. | |||
A multiclassed character adds their total level in all classes together to determine their overall character level. | |||
