I've always been obsessed with rolling and re-rolling RPG characters, and Baldur's Gate 3 has been a beautiful catastrophe for me, letting me channel that energy into too many Tactician and Honour runs, as well as our guide to the best builds in the game.
With Patch 8's 12 new subclasses on the way, I've been at it again, digging through 5th edition rules and scribbling character ideas in my little notebook. Now that the Patch 8 stress test is live and we're starting to get an idea of how these new subclasses will work in-game, I've compiled the character builds I'm most excited to try. As a note, there's still the possibility some of Patch 8's mechanics will change when things go live, particularly with the powerful (and build-enabling) new cantrip, Booming Blade. For info on the items and abilities namedropped below, the Baldur's Gate 3 Wiki is a great resource.
