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.

==== Experience and levels ====
All characters start at level 1, and level up when they receive enough experience. Leveling up allows a character to take another level in a class. After reaching level 12, no further levels are gained.
{{hatnote|Main article: [[Experience]]}}


Experience is gained through completing quests, succeeding at tasks and discovering new locations, as well as by defeating enemies.
All characters start at level 1, and level up when they receive enough experience. Leveling up allows a character to take another level in a class, eventually to choose a subclass, and optionally to multiclass. After reaching level 12, no further levels are gained, so no other class-related choices are possible.


When a character gains [[Inspiration|inspiration]], they earn a small amount of experience. Experience from all other sources is earned by {{em|all}} characters that have joined the player, whether they are in the active party or at camp.
Using [[Withers]]' services, the player can change the class of a character, setting them back to level 1 and allowing them to change their class(es) and subclass(es).
