After a long, long wait, Larian Games' Baldur's Gate 3 is finally here and is available to play now on Windows PC, with a PS5 release coming September 6 (and an Xbox version in the works, too). Before you jump into the Forgotten Realms and experience the exciting new Dungeons & Dragons adventure, though, you'll need to choose a class for your character.
There are 12 classes in total, and each one sports specific strengths and weaknesses along with a variety of different subclasses for fine-tuned buildcrafting. Each one is viable, but some classes are a bit better than others, and you'll probably have a preference depending on what your playstyle is, too. To help you pick a class, we've put together a full breakdown of each one that includes a tier list, detailed descriptions, and suggestions for new players and folks playing alone.
