Character creation guide to Baldurs Gate 3

A guide to show you the way to make a great character in Baldurs Gate 3

Intro

Hi there!

I've been playing DND since I was 14, starting out with pathfinder and since 2018 moving onto Fifth Edition, the latter being superior in my book I was so excited to hear Larian was making the next Baldurs Gate. The only worry I have is that you can't have multiple party members taking part in a conversation :(, "Sorry your cha-dump cleric or Rogue walked ahead, you will now fail the charisma checks for this convo".

Regardless, please enjoy the below guide for building the optimal character, both mechanically and for the sake of fun!

Character Creation

Race

Human

Pick Humans because nothing is more unique to people than not being some cretin who's ♥♥♥♥♥ mother banged:

• A Demon
  
• A Midget
  
• An Elf
  
• An Orc
  
• A Drow
  
• A Drow Midget
  
• A Scottish Midget

Disregard all other races

Class

Fighter

Pick Fighter because unlike an Elven bow or a demon slut spell, a sword doesn't run out of arrows or MP.

Paladin

Pick Paladin because unlike an Elven bow or a demon slut spell, a sword doesn't run out of arrows or MP. And when you do decide to use your spell slots, give the heathen's god's eternal forgiveness in the form of a crit smite.

Disregard all other classes

Now that you're in game

Kill some mind-flayers, romance whoever you wish and disrespect druids, goblins, Elves and whosoever decide to stand in front of your sword!

Every time you do, if you followed this guide, make this face:



Have fun!

I like it! It puts sword to my own age old axiom:

"All that Rise above da' Law, Fall beneath My Sword!"

Very Based!
