{| class="wikitable"

*Primeval awareness feature not implemented.

====[[Hunter]] Archetype====

====[[Beast Master]] Archetype====

* The [[Summon Companion|animal companions]] able to be summoned are limited to Bear, Boar, Dire Raven, Wolf, or Wolf Spider. These creatures have their own statblocks which differs from their Monster Manual counterpart.

*The animal companion acts on its own initiative and does not require an action to command.

*The companion can be swapped out or resummoned once per short rest.

* The animal companion add the proficiency bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws and Armour Class at 5th level and not at 3rd level.

====[[Gloom Stalker]] Archetype ====

*The level 7 feature '''Iron Mind''' gives Proficiency in Wisdom and Intelligence Saving Throws rather than just Wisdom with a choice of Intelligence or Charisma if the Gloom Stalker already had Wisdom saving throw proficiency.

==[[Rogue]]==

*Thieves' tools proficiency is not implemented ([[Sleight of Hand]] is used instead for relevant checks), and therefore not granted at first level.

*Thieves' Cant implemented as optional dialogue options.

*[[Sneak Attack (Melee)|sneak attack]] only applies the additional damage if the character specifically takes the action titled "Sneak Attack" ([[Sneak Attack (Ranged)|ranged]] or [[Sneak Attack (Melee)|melee]] option). This means it cannot apply to bonus action offhand attacks for example.  

*Sneak Attack damage is limited to 5d6 (reached at level 9), you do not get an additional die of damage at level 11.

====[[Arcane Trickster]] Archetype====

*Mage Hand Legerdemain lists that it "can carry out additional tasks," however as of Patch #2 (release) no additional tasks such as "stow away or retrieve objects carried by other creatures" are implemented.

====[[Thief]] Archetype====

====[[Assassin]] Archetype====

*Infiltration Expertise doesn't require gold or a week or preparation it is now instant and just requires an action, and lets you become male/female of any humanoid race.

==[[Sorcerer]]==

*Able to select two metamagic options from [[Metamagic: Careful Spell|careful spell]], [[Metamagic: Distant Spell|distant spell]], [[Metamagic: Extended Spell|extended spell]], or [[Metamagic: Twinned Spell|twinned spell]] at 2nd level. At 3rd level sorcerers are able to select an additional metamagic option from the above list as well as the [[Metamagic: Heightened Spell|heightened spell]], [[Metamagic: Quickened Spell|quickened spell]], or [[Metamagic: Subtle Spell|subtle spell]] options. Overall this means that a sorcerer will have more metamagic options available at 3rd level, but are limited in which of the third level options they can select.

**[[Metamagic: Careful Spell|Careful spell]] affects all allies in the area, not just an amount of creatures equal to the caster's Charisma modifier.

**[[Metamagic: Distant Spell|Distant spell]] increases spells with a 5 ft range to 10 ft. All other ranged spells have their range increased by only 50%.

** [[Metamagic: Heightened Spell|Heightened spell]] gives disadvanatage to the saving throw of all creatures affected by the spell.

**[[Metamagic: Quickened Spell|Quickened spell]] costs 3 sorcery points instead of 2.

**[[Metamagic: Subtle Spell|Subtle spell]] allows a character to cast the spell while silenced (note: Verbal, Somatic, and Material components are ignored in Baldur's Gate 3, and being [[Silenced (Condition)|silenced]] prevents all casting).

*Empowered Spell metamagic is not implemented.

====[[Draconic Bloodline]] Origin====

*Characters do not double their proficiency bonus on Charisma checks when interacting with dragons, however note that the subclass will give characters additional dragon themed dialogue options.

*Characters learn an additional spell at first level depending on their ancestry as follows:

====[[Wild Magic]] Origin====

*Wild magic surges have a chance to trigger after any spell of first level or higher the character casts (verification needed on spells gained from multiclassing). The odds of surges occurring are not yet known.

*Tides of Chaos increases the chance of surges triggering, but the increased odds are unknown. Tides of Chaos recharges on a Short or Long rest, but does not refresh when a wild magic surge triggers.
