10 best feats for warlocks in Baldur’s Gate 3

Warlocks are the second most popular spellcasting class to play as Baldur’s Gate 3According to data released by Larian Studios, and it’s not hard to see why. Despite only having three subclasses available in the game, Warlocks are a wonderfully versatile class that can also work brilliantly for BG3 Multiclass build. Warlocks work a little differently from other magic users and Special features BG3 Will Help bring out the best in the charismatic cast.

What sets Warlocks apart when playing them, compared to others BG3 Spellcasters, is very limited number of spell slots. Unlike wizards, sorcerers, or even clerics, who will have a constant number of increasing slots each time they level up, Warlocks will only have two spell slots for most of the gameUntil level 11, where they will win a third. This means that playing as a warlock is a little more strategic, but with the right fits, any build with this versatile class will be more than ready to take on the absolute.

Actor – expertise and charisma

Boost for dialogue skill checks

Warlocks are one of four classes in BG3 who use Charisma as their spellcasting ability. Therefore, anything that gives this ability score a boost is always a good thing. Although it may seem like more of a bard feat, acting is a great choice for Warlocks, especially when you’re acting as the face of the party and interacting with NPCs. This is because, as well as increasing the warlock’s Charisma score by oneActor is also super helpful when it comes to dialogue checks.

Actor provides expertise in deception and performance checksWhich means any checks for them will double the proficiency bonus. This is so useful for those looking to blur the truth a bit while saving the world. It also allows other skills to be chosen for character creation in lieu of deception, and I’ve found Arcana, History, or Exploration to be excellent options.

Weapon Master – New weapon options

Use four new weapon types

One of the great things about Warlocks is their flexibility when it comes to playstyle, with them being able to fulfill the roles of both spellcaster and frontline fighter if needed. Weapon Master is a great choice for the latter, as It opens up more weapon choices for a melee-based warlock. Whether playing as Wyll, the Dark Urge, or Tav, a warlock will be limited to simple weapons, which include daggers, handaxes, and shortbows.

Weapon Master allows the warlock to choose four weapon types to gain proficiency inOpening up a lot more options when it comes to equipment. Great choices would be shortswords, scimitars, or if not playing as Wyll, rapiers, which are all finesse weapons. Weapon Master also lets the warlock increase either their strength or dexterity by one, with dexterity being the best choice for a warlock.

Mobile – increase to movement

Ignore difficult terrain and avoid attacks of opportunity

Mobile is a great all-around feat for any class as it will have different benefits depending on the party role that character fills. first of all, Mobile increases a character’s movement speed by three meters/10 feetallowing them to cover much more ground in combat. After that, Mobile has two more features that are useful for a warlock, no matter how they are built.

For a more spell-focused character, Mobile: Evade Opportunity Attack will be useful for escaping melee attacks, which Allows them to move away without provoking an attack of opportunity after making a melee attack on the target. Melee-focused warlocks will be able to move around the battlefield more easily and Mobile: Avoiding difficult terrain is perfect. With this passive feature, the Warlock can ignore difficult terrain when using Dash, allowing them to reposition with ease.

7

Moderate Armored – New armor options

Increased AC from New Armor

At character creation, Warlocks have proficiency with light armor, and while there are some fantastic options in BG3 For light armor, giving them the moderately armored feat is a good idea. As the name suggests, this feat Grants the warlock proficiency in medium armor and shields. This not only opens up more armor options, but gives the warlock some much-needed protection for when they’re in the thick of the battle.

Unlike other spellcasters, Warlocks are much more likely to go toe to toe with the enemy and will benefit from the next AC that resource will give them. Moderate armor too Boosts the warlock’s Strength or Dexterity ability score by oneAnd I recommend choosing Dexterity. This will help not only with attack rolls when using a finesse weapon, but also with other vital rolls like initiative.

6

Lucky – Gain Advantage and Force Enemy Rerolls

Make the most of every moment with advantages

With very limited spell slots, Warlocks need to make every spell count and there is nothing worse than saving a spell for the right moment, only to miss it. Lucky is a fantastic feat to avoid this frustration as it has some great features that are useful in and out of combat. With luck, the warlock will Gain three happiness points per long rest, Which can be spent in several different ways.

First, the warlock can Give yourself advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, or ability checks With the reroll with advantage reaction. Luck Points can be spent to make enemies reroll their attack rolls with the reroll attacker’s reaction. Even better, none of these reactions use the warlock’s regular reaction, such as attacks of opportunity or Hell’s damnation

Every turn when in combat.

Instant Sniper – New cantrip and reduce critical threshold

Expand the Warlock’s spell list and increase the chances of a crit

With their limited spell slots, warlocks rely on their cantrips far more than other magic users, such as wizards, druids, or clerics. So it’s an obvious choice to have a feat that gives them a new cantrip for free. Instant Sniper does just that, with the Warlock Able to learn one of a choice of six cantrips that require attack rolls.

Of the six cantrips on offer, Ray of frost

is a great choice, as it not only deals cold damage, adding variety to the warlock’s repertoire, but also reduces the target’s speed for one turn. Instant Sniper also reduces the number needed for a critical hit by oneWhich stacks with other items or features that also lower the threshold. The Elixir of Viciousness

Is a great way for all classes to lower this or that Duelist’s prerogative

Rapier for Wyll.

Ritual Caster – Learn two new ritual spells

Learn useful new spells that don’t require spell slots

With only two spell slots for most of BG3Some of a warlock’s best spells are locked away in reserve until they are most needed. Ritual Caster is the perfect way to not only expand any warlock’s spell list, but also have some great utility spells for them to use without an expensive spell slot. With ritual caster, the warlock Can learn two ritual spells from a list of six.

Most of the spells on this list are already available for warlocks to learn through their Eldritch Invocations, such as Talk to the dead

, Talk to animals

, find familiar

, Improve jumpAnd Disguise yourself

. Ritual caster offers the chance to still gain the spells if different invocations are chosen or Pick a new spell that the class wouldn’t normally win. Longstrider

is also available, and I found it to be a great spell to cast on the whole party after every long rest to increase everyone’s movement speed.

3

Durable – Better short rests and Constitution boost

Get the most out of a key Warlock feature

Like all spellcasters, Warlocks tend to be on the squishier side when it comes to hit points, so any feat that helps in that regard is a good choice. Durability is great for Warlocks as it not only Helps boost their constitution by one But also synergizes well with a key feature of their class. Because of this, durable is a key feat choice when playing in a party with multiple warlocks, such as when playing multiplayer with friends.

The main feature of durable is that it Allows the warlock to regain their full hit points each time they briefly restInstead of half their hit point maximum. This works wonderfully with the Warlock’s Pact Magic, which lets them regain all their spell slots on a short rest as well, allowing them to fully refresh twice per long rest. This will change the way the party approaches short and long rests, and make some long dungeon areas much easier to deal with.

Magic Initiate – Learn two new cantrips and a spell

Expand a warlock’s spell list with help from other classes

Magic Initiate, which covers each of the six spellcasting classes, is a group of feats that will open up more choices for a warlock. With one of the Magic Initiate Feats chosen, they will be able to Learn two cantrips and a first-level spell from another class’s spell list. With this feat, the options for a warlock can really open up, depending on the role they play in the party.

As any spells chosen by Magic Initiate will retain the original class spellcasting ability, it makes sense to choose other Charisma-based classes such as Bard or Paladin. However, so does Magic Initiate Offers an opportunity to learn spells well outside a warlock’s usual range. choosing Heal wounds

War Caster – Advantage on concentration spells

Make the most out of powerful spells

War caster is a great feat for any spellcaster, but especially warlocks who have a lot of powerful spells that require concentration. First, and most importantly, war caster grants the warlock Advantage on all saving throws he to maintain concentration. This means that there is less chance of a powerful spell dropping soon after being cast and an expensive spell slot being wasted.

War Caster also gives the warlock the ability to use the cantrip Shocking catch

As a reaction against enemies that move out of melee range. This in turn will Prevent the target from using reactions for one turnAs well as dealing decent lightning damage. It is important to remember that if the warlock has already Shocking seizure From another source in Baldur’s Gate 3Then they will only be able to use it as part of the feat.
