Multiclassing Explained

Multiclassing in Baldur’s Gate 3 allows your character to gain a level in a new class instead of advancing in their current class. To Multiclass in BG3, hit the top right plus button to add a class, so that it will bring up a new screen with the other classes in Baldur’s Gate 3.  

Multiclassing grants most of the benefits of that new class, but there are some limitations. Your multiclassing character does not receive all the proficiencies of their new class, meaning the Fighter class does not provide heavy armour. Your initial class is the most important and determines your build identity. You can pick multiple classes using the same button at each level. You also cannot multiclass when playing on Explorer Difficulty.  

Below is a list of Multiclass Proficiencies gained by taking one level in a new class:

Class	Gained Proficiency
Barbarian	Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons
Bard	Light Armor, One skill, One instrument
Cleric	Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields, Morningstars
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	–

Best Ranger Multiclass

The best class for the Ranger to multiclass into is the Rogue because you can get the Second-Story Work, Additional Bonus Action, Cunning Action, and Sneak Attack. Also, a secondary multiclass choice for Ranger is the Fighter because you gain a Fighting Style, Action Surge, and Battle Master subclass.

Here is the best multiclass choice for a Ranger build in Baldur’s Gate 3:

Rogue	Fighter
Sneak Attack: Ranged, Melee	Fighting Style
Cunning Action: Hide, Dash and Disengage	Action Surge
Additional Bonus Action	Superiority DIce

For this build, we recommend 5 levels into Ranger, 4 levels into Rogue, and 3 levels into Fighter. This is a bit complex, but we will explain and walk you through the process in the leveling progression part of this Best Baldur’s Gate 3 Multiclass Ranger Build.

Character Creation

Race

Wood Half-Elf is the best race choice for a multiclass Ranger because you gain the highest movement, stealth proficiency, Fey Ancestry, and Darkvision. Wood Half-Elf gives you a well-balanced race that aids in movement and protection against crowd control effects. However, the second best racial choice is Githyanki due to increased movement abilities, skill proficiency, and free Misty Step spell at level 5.

Here is the best race choice for a multiclass Ranger build in Baldur’s Gate 3:

1. Wood Half-Elf
2. Githyanki

Background

The best Background for a Ranger is Urchin because it has proficiency in Stealth and Sleight of Hand. Backgrounds in Baldur’s Gate 3 are a way to represent your character’s backstory and give them some starting skills and abilities. Additional choices are Folk Hero and Charlatan.

Ability Score

The Best Ability Score for multiclass Ranger Build is 16 Dexterity, 16 Constitution, and 14 Wisdom. Strength, Intelligence, and Charisma are all secondary stats. Dexterity and Constitution are almost entirely performances with Dexterity improving your Armour Class (AC) and Constitution improving your hit points. Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma have a big influence on dialogue and exploration combined with skills.

If you intend to use this character as your primary “speaker” during cut-scene interaction, consider reducing Constituion by two and improving Intelligence or Charisma. You will sacrifice some health, but if the story portion is important to you, this is a good choice for your playthrough. Try to land on even numbers vs. odd, because odd won’t give you any bonuses. Also, check out our Permanent bonus guide on how you can boost stats through quests.

Below is the best ability score for a multiclass Ranger in Baldur’s Gate 3:

• Strength – 10
• Dexterity – 16
• Constitution – 16
• Intelligence – 8
• Wisdom – 14
• Charisma – 10

Skills

Animal Handling, Perception, and Survival are the best skills for the multiclass Ranger in Baldur’s Gate 3 because they complement your class abilities and enhance your effectiveness in various situations.

Companions

The best companions for a Ranger Multiclass build in BG3 are Shadowheart, Gale, and Lae’zel. This will give you a balanced team with a Cleric for support, a Wizard for area damage, and a Fighter for melee pressure and crowd control.

• Shadowheart (Cleric): buffs, healing, and crowd control.
• Gale (Wizard): range magic damage, area damage, and crowd control.
• Lae’zel (Fighter): burst damage, lockpicking, and range if needed.

Multiclass Ranger Build – Level Progression in Baldur’s Gate 3

Level 1

Level one follow our character creator to pick all correct background, race, skills, and ability scores focusing on Dexterity and Constitution.  You won’t be able to pick your subclass until level 3, so expect a slow start in terms of performance. For this build, we will focus on the Ranger for 5 levels before switching. This is primarily to unlock Extra Attack which allows for two attacks in one action. Here’s what you unlock as a Level 1 Ranger:

• Favoured Enemy: Bounty Hunter (class feature): Gain Investigation Proficiency. Creatures hit with Ensnaring Strike have Disadvantage on Saves.
• Natural Explore: Beast Hunter (class feature):  You have cultivated a strong bond with animals. You can cast Find Familiar as a Ritual.
• Find Familiar (class spell): Summon a familiar, fey spirit that takes an animal form of your choosing.

Nothing exciting at this level really. If you wish to wear heavy armour for the entirety of the game, you can take Ranger Knight rather than Bounty Hunter. This will grant Heavy Armour proficiency. Typically this isn’t warranted because heavy armour is not that impactful in terms of bonuses and can limit stealth. The Find Familiar, even with very low health can be a great asset when exploring and combat. You can some this outside of combat and use it as a distraction or explore small spaces your character cannot reach.

Multiclass Ranger Gameplay & Priorities

In the early levels of BG3, the Ranger should look to equip a Longbow and Medium Armour. The easiest way to get a good set of armour and weapons is from Lae’zel companion. She has the Githyanki Half Plate with 15 Armour Class (AC) and medium armour. Additionally, if you don’t intend to use her, take the armour and the heavy crossbow. Otherwise, check in with Dammon at the Hollow City at the Emerald Grove to purchase gear. Also, you must use ammunition (special arrows) and spell scrolls. Your class won’t have a lot of crowd control, but Ice Arrow, Sleep, Hold Person, etc. can be obtained through the use of ammunition and scrolls. Fill in the gaps of your build, especially early, with these consumable items.

Rangers have great mobility but not a lot of defense, so bows are vital until you reach higher levels and access movement-enhancing armor. Moreover, look to acquire Elixir of Bloodlust and Oil of Accuracy. You can combine these two for massive damage increases and your Ranger will feel very powerful immediately.

Your overall priority with the Multiclass Ranger build is the following:

• Complete Prologue
• Recruit Companions
• Unlock Withers, respec companions to proper class/ability score
• Collect the Necromancy of Thay (important in Act 3)
• Reached Hollowed City/Druid Grove
• Sell, Stock up, complete quests
• Unlock summons, Scratch, Shovel
• Progress to level 5
• Reach Underdark and Grymforge
• Acquire Titanstring Bow or Bow of Banshee, play range damage
• Check all Permanent Bonuses in Act 1 and the best Gear

Following these steps ensures a strong foundation, especially if you plan on playing solo or on Honour Mode difficulty.

Level 2

At Level 2 in the Ranger, you will unlock a Fighting style, two spells, and spell casting. Below is what you unlock:

• Hunter’s Mark (spell selection): Mark a creature as your quarry to deal an additional 1~6 whenever you hit it with a weapon attack.
• Ensnaring Strike (spell selection): Your attack summons thorny vines that possibly Ensnare your target.
• Archery Fighting Style (class feature): You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons. 

The Archery Fighting Style is primarily why we use a bow. Additionally, the ranged Longbow strategy makes it easier to avoid damage and still melt targets at range. Hunter’s Mark consumes a bonus action, and you mark a target dealing extra weapon damage to them. The best thing about this ability is, that you can reapply after the target dies for free. Meaning, that if you want to mark the target you will focus down until death, then reapply it to the next target to save spell slots. Typically, Hunter’s Mark is turn-one bonus action usage.

The next spell we get is Ensnaring Strike, which locks down a target in place. This can be used as a useful root that deals extra damage but it’s costly. Ensnaring Strike uses an action, bonus action, and requires concentration which can be broken. Use this spell when you must root a target in place to prevent it from reaching you or a teammate.

Multiclass Ranger Level 2 Gameplay

Gameplay at this level revolves around keeping your distance and looking for the “high ground.” When you attack from above, you gain a +2 bonus to the Attack Roll. When you attack from below, you have a -2 penalty. The height difference between you and your target must be at least 2.5m. This is critical to getting the most out of your damage and this bonus stacks with Archery Fighting Style. In summary, look for higher ground than your target, Hunter’s Mark the target you intend to attack and blast them with ranged attacks. Buckle up, at the next level you get your subclass and it’s a monster!

Level 2 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, and Ensnaring Strike

Level 3

With 3 levels invested into the Ranger class, you unlock subclass, one spell, and two subclass features. The majority of your combat powers come from the Gloom Stalker subclass which emphasizes the importance of your first turn. Moreover, you get increased Darkvision and a bonus for Initiative. This helps with going first in the combat order, allowing you to influence the initial phase of combat. Let’s break down what you unlock and how to use it:

• Gloom Stalker (subclass): Specialize in taking out foes swiftly and ruthlessly from the shadows, gaining damage bonuses and increased movement speed.
• Hail of Thorns (spell selection): The thorns deal Weapon Damage to the target and then explode. The explosion deals an additional 1~10 Piercing damage to the target and surrounding creatures.
• Dread Ambusher (subclass feature): Gain a +3 bonus to Initiative. On the first combat turn, your movement speed increases by 3m, and you can make an attack that deals an additional 1d8 damage.
• Superior Darkvision (subclass feature): can see up to 24m in the dark.
• Umbral Shroud (subclass feature): Wrap yourself in shadows to become Invisible if you are obscured.
• Dread Ambusher (subclass feature): Hide: use a bonus action to hide from enemies though attacking or casting breaks this.
• Umbral Shroud (subclass feature): Become invisible for 10 turns, ends if you attack or cast another spell.
• Disguise (subclass spell): change your character’s appearance.

Multiclass Ranger Level 3 Gameplay

Dread Ambusher gives you a free attack on turn one. Look to the far right on your toolbar to see this icon pop up which won’t consume an action or a bonus action. This is incredibly helpful combined with Hunter’s Mark on turn one. Dread Ambusher uses a bonus action to hide as well, so plenty of options with bonus action utility. Umbral Shroud helps as a getaway tool, but typically I use Invisibility potions because they are more reliable.

With all this utility coming in, you need to focus on your first turn. Ideally, you want to eliminate, stun, crowd control, or immobilize the most damage-producing target. Combine Dread Ambusher with Ice Arrow or Scroll if you must stun a target. Roaring Thunder is another good arrow to knock back targets. Ensanring Strike is great for targets that rely on mobility like Githyanki Fighters. Also, consider using consumable poisons and oils to buff your damage. I list a bunch below, but many can be applied to your weapon outside of combat and buff you until a long rest. That way you open up very strong and single-handedly can influence the outcome of a fight. Big increase in power here, but we aren’t done yet with the Best Baldur’s Gate 3 Multiclass Ranger Build!

Level 3 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, and Hail of Thorns.

Level 4

At level four, you get to pick a “feat” or increase of ability score and you can replace a spell.  The most damaged setup with range setup is a feat called Sharpshooter. Your ranged weapon attacks are not penalized for High Ground Rules. Ranged weapon attacks with weapons you are Proficient with have a -5 penalty to their Attack Roll but deal an additional 10 damage. This -5 penalty and +10 damage are toggleable, which you can turn on or off in the passive sections of your toolbar.

Sharpshooter essentially means less chance to hit, but a greater chance of damage. Spells like Bless will help augment the lower percentage, but expect massive damage! From here, you will get one more feat with this multiclass setup. If you want to reach 20 Dexterity before max level, take +2 Dexterity here. However, there are Gloves of Dexterity in Act 2 that give us 18 Dexterity and can be used for the entirety of the game. The gameplay remains unchanged, just less chance to hit with greater damage.

Level 4 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, and Hail of Thorns.

Level 5

At Level 5 into Ranger, we gain two level 2 spell slots, Extra Attack, one prepared spell, and subclass spell.

• Spike Growth (spell selection): Shape a piece of ground into hard spikes. A creature walking on the spikes takes 2d4 Damage piercing damage for every 1.5 m it moves.
• Pass Without Trace (replace spell): Call forth a veil of shadows and silence that gives you and all nearby companions a +10 bonus to Stealth Checks.
• Misty Step (subclass spell): Surrounded by silver mist, you teleport to an unoccupied space you can see.
• Extra Attack (Ranger class feature): Can make an additional free attack after making an unarmed or weapon attack. If you gain the Extra Attack feature from more than one class, they don’t add together.

Multiclass Ranger Level 5 Gameplay

This is our last level in Ranger because we gain Extra Attack. Your weapon attacks will now give you a secondary attack for free. This stacks with your Dread Ambusher passive, so in one turn you can get 3 attacks. I suggest dropping Hail of Thorns and picking Pass Without Trace and Spike Growth. Spike Growth acts as a powerful area-based snare slowing down targets approaching you. The downside is, this spell requires concentration and cannot be used in conjunction with Hunter’s Mark. Use this spell when the targets must be funneled into one area and you don’t want them to reach you.

Passive Without Trace is a utility skill and helpful outside of combat. Misty Step is a mobility tool that allows you to use a bonus action and teleport a far distance. This helps you traverse very far distances and also reach higher areas to take advantage of high ground. This is where the Ranger’s power starts to fade and I suggest multiclassing out of it at level 6. Let’s show you how to do that with the Best Baldur’s Gate 3 Multiclass Ranger Build!

Ranger Multiclas Level 5s Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.

Level 6

At Level 6, we suggest switching to the Rogue class. To do this, simply click the + sign with two access for multiclass. Select your class then a popup will appear on what you can select. The reason we want to use the Rogue is mainly for the Thief subclass with a four-level investment. This will give us an additional bonus action, more skill proficiency, and a lot of utility. Below is what you unlock at level 1:

Unlock one new skill with proficiency, two skills with expertise, and a Sneak Attack.

• Skills: Stealth and Sleight of Hand.
• Sneak Attack (Ranged & Melee): Deal an additional to an enemy you have Advantage against. Attack/Save: Ranged Attack Recharge: Once per turn. In order to gain Advantage, you need to be hiding or that enemy to be engaged with another in 1.5 meters.

Sneak Attack is a core class feature of Rogues in Baldur’s Gate 3 and understanding how to use it with Ranger Multiclass is critical to add damage. Sneak Attack allows this Ranger and Rogue Multiclass build to deal extra damage to a target if they have Advantage on the attack roll. The easiest way to get Advantage is to start combat in stealth or have a target that is attacking. For this build, you’d send in Lae’zel to soak up the damage and target that enemy. Spells like True Strike and Guiding Bolt can help grant Advantage and remove some of the issues with gaining it.

Multiclass Ranger Reactions Explained

When setting up your build, go into the reactions tab and click the “ask” in reactions. What this will do is “proc” or trigger Sneak Attack damage if you didn’t use the attack. Similar to a Paladin’s Divine Smite, it simply adds the damage. This is a good way to make sure you also deal extra damage when it’s possible. You can see if you have Advantage when nearing attack, a great signal will appear near your mouse. Sneak Attack damage also increases with level and is important to sneak, stealth, and try to look for ways to exploit this Rogue core mechanic.

While you started as a Ranger, you can now use both high ground and Advantage mechanics to add damage passively. This changes your gameplay slightly by trying to start combat in stealth and using hide bonus action more frequently to enter into stealth. Attacking an enemy while you are hidden or invisible automatically triggers Advantage and thus extra damage.

Ending Act 1 with the Multiclass Ranger

By Level 6 you should be close to completing Act 1. Be sure to visit merchants and stock up on camp and alchemy supplies. Additionally, make sure you’ve collected the best Act 1 items. There are also permanent bonuses you want to find in Act 1. Lastly, Grymforge has powerful armor and weapons (Adamantine) that can aid you well into Act 3. Consider taking the time to craft a couple of items there before transitioning to Act 2, where you won’t be able to return.

Level 6 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.

Level 7

Your second level into the Rogue will unlock three class actions Cunning Hide, Dash, and Disengage.

• Cunning Action Hide: Hide from enemies by succeeding Stealth checks. Stick to the dark and avoid enemy sightlines. Attacking or casting a spell will reveal your location.
• Cunning Action Dash: Cover more distance this turn: double your Movement Speed.
• Cunning Action Disengage: Retreat safely: moving won’t provoke Opportunity Attacks.

This helps with mobility and specifically Hiding using a bonus action rather than an action. In the next level, we will increase our bonus action, thus you can end your turn reliably with Hide and start from stealth-increasing damage. Disengage is useful when a melee aggressor is fighting you and you want to flee without getting attacked. Dash can be helpful in combination with your movement or if you don’t have a Misty Step to use. This level adds a decent amount of utility with our bonus action.

Level 7 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.

Level 8

This is our last level of investment into the Rogue and you can pick your subclass. For this build, pick the Thief mainly for the utility with Fast Hands.

• Fast Hands (Level 3): Gain an additional bonus action.
• Second-Story Work (Level 3): You’ve mastered the art of falling and gaining Resistance to Falling damage.

The Fast Hands passives mean bonus actions like Misty Step, Hunter’s Mark, and Cunning Hide do not exhaust this resource. You can use them in conjunction with potions, consumables, poisons, etc. At every turn, you should try to exhaust your actions and bonus actions if possible. Remember how annoying it was that Ensaring Strike cost an action and a bonus action? Well, not that spell becomes much more useful with two bonus actions to use.

I also suggest always trying to end your turn in an obscure location with Cunning Hide if you have an extra bonus action. Even if enemies are around, you can possibly succeed in this check and remain hidden. This will proc Advantage when you attack and give you extra sneak damage.

Level 8 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.

Level 9

We stick with one more level into the Rogue primarily to get a feat. Ability Improvement, Add +2 Dexterity to reach 18. Depending if you plan on using the Gloves of Dexterity or not, this can be a good choice. If you plan on using those gloves, which give you 18 Dexterity passively, then you want to take a different feat. Lucky is the best choice because it gives you a resource that you can use to gain Advantage on Attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. This combined with Sneak Attack is free damage and will be better than more Dexterity with the gloves. The Rogue power fades after this, but there’s one more class to take advantage of and that’s the Fighter!

Level 9 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.

Level 10

You want to click the + sign again with the two axes to multiclass to another class. Select Fighter because most of the good features, abilities, and passives come early on.

• Defence Fighting Style (class feature): You gain a +1 bonus to Armour Class while wearing armour.
• Second Wind (class feature): Draw on your stamina to heal yourself.

Not much happens at this level as Second Wind is a weak heal at higher levels. Defence gives you passively more AC which is nice, but the next two levels are the big boost in power.

Level 10 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.

Level 11

With a second level invested into the Fighter you unlock Action Surge (class feature): Immediately gain an extra action to use this turn. This gives you an enormous boost in power because Action Surge doesn’t cost any resources and gives you two actions once per short rest. Now, on turn one, you have an extra attack, Action Surge, two bonus actions, and Dread Ambusher. Here’s how this would look to destroy an enemy team in one turn starting from stealth:

• Dread Ambusher (free + sneak attack damage)
• Misty Step to High Ground (1x bonus action)
• Hunter’s Mark the target (1x bonus action)
• Attack with Ice Arrow knock prone (1x action)
• Attack Roaring Thunder arrow knockback (extra attack)
• Action Surge (one more action)
• Attack with Arrow of Many Targets AOE (1x action)
• Attack with Dragon Arrow (extra attack)

That is one turn, which will obliterate an encounter if done properly and with practice. But we are not done with the Best Baldur’s Gate 3 Multiclass Ranger Build!

Level 11 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.

Level 12

You’ve reached the max level of 12 with the Best Baldur’s Gate 3 Multiclass Ranger Build! At this level, we get even more utility with the Figher Battle Master subclass.

• Battle Master Subclass: this will give you access to a new mechanic called Superiority Dice, which are d8s. Think of this as an additional resource that can be replenished during Long Rest. You will also get to select three maneuvers which are attacks that consume superiority dice. We suggest the following:
  • Disarming Attack: Spend a superiority die to make an attack that deals additional damage and possibly forces the target to drop the weapons they are holding.
  • Pushing Attack: Spend a superiority die to make an attack that deals an additional 1d8 damage and possibly pushes the target back 4.5m.
  • Trip Attack: Spend a superiority die to make an attack that deals an additional 1d8 damage and possibly knocks the target Prone. The target must be Large or smaller.

What this does is grants the build 4 superiority dice which can be refreshed on short rest. Each attack, including those with extra attacks, can have an added effect. Disarming is great for Githyanki Fighters who rely on weapons for damage. Pushing Attack is essentially a knockback ability similar to Roaring Thunder Arrow. Trip Attack knocks prone similar to Ice Arrow. This compliments and fills in a major hole with the build and that’s crowd control without arrows or scrolls. Make sure to check below for the recommended gear sets as a beginner or advanced.

Level 12 Ranger Multiclass Spells: Find Familiar, Hunter’s Mark, Ensnaring Strike, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, and Misty Step.
