Baldur's Gate 3, a faithful adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset, allows for incredible character customization. While single-class characters are viable, multiclassing opens a world of strategic possibilities, creating truly unique and powerful builds. With Larian Studios soon adding 12 new subclasses, the potential for innovative character combinations is about to explode. But even before these additions, several compelling multiclass setups deserve exploration. These builds offer thematic depth and significant combat advantages.
1. Lockadin Staple (Ancients Paladin 7, Fiend Warlock 5): The Master of Offense and Defense
This powerhouse combines the Paladin's heavy armor proficiency and offensive capabilities (Divine Smite, Extra Attack) with the Warlock's potent utility and spellcasting. The synergy between CHA-based abilities maximizes damage and survivability, allowing for devastating short-rest spell slot nova attacks.
