Elevate Your Baldur's Gate 3 Rogue: Top Feats for Maximum Impact

Choosing a Rogue in Baldur's Gate 3 is a smart move. Their stealth and damage potential are unmatched. This guide highlights the best feats to maximize your Rogue's effectiveness.

Recommended Feats for Your BG3 Rogue

Here are eight top-tier feats for your Rogue in BG3:

Sharpshooter

Transform your Rogue into a deadly ranged combatant. Sharpshooter ignores cover, extends attack range, and boosts damage by 10 (at the cost of a -5 penalty to hit). Ideal for maximizing long-range effectiveness.

Skilled

Unleash unparalleled versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice. Become a master of stealth, acrobatics, and lockpicking, or tailor your skills to your preferred playstyle.

Athlete

Enhance agility and finesse. Eliminate extra movement costs for climbing and rising from prone positions, and perform running jumps with ease. Boost your Strength or Dexterity by +1.

Tough

While evasion is key, BG3 presents unavoidable damage. Tough significantly increases your hit points, providing crucial survivability, especially combined with a Rogue's natural evasiveness.

Mobile

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Quickly engage, unleash attacks, and retreat without penalty. Excellent for ranged combat, allowing you to reposition after attacks.

Alert

Avoid the dangers of surprise. Alert prevents being surprised and provides a bonus to initiative, ensuring you strike first and maintain your DPS.

Dungeon Delver

Enhance your Rogue's natural aptitude for traps and locks. Easily detect and disable traps, and effortlessly open locked containers. A quality-of-life improvement outside of combat.

Crossbow Expert

Unleash devastating crossbow attacks. Use your crossbow for sneak attacks at close range, and deal increased sneak attack damage at all ranges. A thematic and powerful choice.

Lucky

A universally beneficial feat. Three Luck Points allow you to gain advantage on attacks, ability checks, or saving throws, and force enemy attack rerolls. Refreshes on long rests.

Savage Attacker

Ideal for melee Rogues. Roll damage twice and use the higher result, significantly increasing damage output, especially when sneak attacks aren't available.

Conclusion

These feats will transform your Baldur's Gate 3 Rogue into a formidable force. Experiment with different combinations to find the perfect build for your playstyle. Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
