Builds & Party Tips
The essentials for Baldur's Gate 3.
Party skeleton
One frontliner (Fighter/Paladin), one healer/support (Cleric/Light Domain), one control mage (Wizard), one flex (Rogue/Ranger). Respec anyone at Withers anytime.
OP early builds
Lightning/Thunder Sorcerer (create water → call lightning), and a Tavern Brawler Monk (throw anything). Honor Mode rewards AoE and control over raw damage.
Combat tricks
High ground = +2 to hit. Use Grease/Web/Knockback. Long Rest often — you only get so many "per day" spells, and the game is balanced around resting.
