Summary
Now that the final patch has dropped forBaldur’s Gate 3, fans have mixed feelings about Larian Studios moving on to other projects, but the newsubclassesare getting universal praise. The game has ten new class disciplines that creative players can use to build unique and powerful characters.
One of the key steps to character building inBG3is the choice of Feats, and although it varies by class, every character gets at least four choices between levels 1 to 12. Some of the new subclasses have some specific new powers and abilities that fit certain Feats perfectly, and regardless of the build, players should seriously consider them.
12Giant Barbarian
Size Increases With The Rage Ability
The Giant Barbarian still relies on raw physical energy to plow through a melee battle, but players should remember that they have a low AC.

A Strong Support Class
Every class that buffs and heals the party needs extra armor skills, and some improvement to ranged and finesse damage is equally important.

Clerics of the Death Domain can use martial weapons but not heavy armor. As such, players should pay attention to AC, hit points, and spellcasting power.
