The new subclasses coming in Baldur's Gate 3 are a powergamer's paradise, and I know because I've seen them do terrible work in D&D

A Dark Urge character with the default Dragonborn appearance posing dramatically, presumably after having done an evil deed.

As one of our resident TTRPG enjoyers here at PC Gamer, I am cursed with the terrible and unfathomable eldritch knowledge of 'knowing a little bit too much about Dungeons & Dragons', the 5th edition ruleset of which forms the building blocks for one of our favourite RPGs, Baldur's Gate 3.

Larian, as you might've heard, has made me look like a big dumb fool and snuck in a final patch, totally for real this time, which is scheduled for 2025. In it, the studio's adding 12 new subclasses, and boy howdy are they a collective doozy.

While the venn diagram of experienced D&D players and Baldur's Gate 3 players has a ton of overlap, it's not a circle. It is for those of you inexperienced with pen and paper that I'm writing this, because I want to communicate just how many absolutely bonkers options Larian is about to unlock, which I can sense like my knee swelling up before a storm.
