A character's class in Baldur's Gate 3 is one of their primary defining features. Each class represents a different calling, and each offers a number of unique abilities, powers, and skills that influence how that character is able to interact with the world. Classes determine most of a character's abilities - both in and out of combat. As a character advances in levels in a class they will gain incredible new powers and abilities.
The maximum character level in Baldur's Gate 3 is level 12.
Each class grants characters special dialogue choices only available to that class. Each class also has unique spellcasting animations (while attack animations are based on race).

Game mechanics
Experience
All characters start at level 1, and level up when they receive enough experience. Leveling up allows a character to take another level in a class. After reaching level 12, no further levels are gained.
Experience is gained through completing quests, succeeding at tasks and discovering new locations, as well as by defeating enemies.
When a character gains inspiration, they earn a small amount of experience. Experience from all other sources is earned by all characters that have joined the player, whether they are in the active party or at camp.
| Level | Cumulative Exp. | XP for Next Level | Pack | Combatant | Elite | Miniboss | Boss |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 300 | 3 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 30 |
| 2 | 300 | 600 | 5 | 15 | 25 | 40 | 75 |
| 3 | 900 | 1,800 | 10 | 20 | 40 | 50 | 100 |
| 4 | 2,700 | 3,800 | 20 | 40 | 75 | 100 | 150 |
| 5 | 6,500 | 6,500 | 40 | 75 | 90 | 150 | 250 |
| 6 | 13,000 | 8,000 | 50 | 90 | 150 | 230 | 320 |
| 7 | 21,000 | 9,000 | 60 | 110 | 180 | 280 | 400 |
| 8 | 30,000 | 12,000 | 75 | 140 | 220 | 350 | 500 |
| 9 | 42,000 | 14,000 | 110 | 200 | 315 | 500 | 700 |
| 10 | 56,000 | 20,000 | 135 | 250 | 400 | 640 | 875 |
| 11 | 76,000 | 24,000 | 170 | 320 | 510 | 800 | 1120 |
| 12 | 100,000 | N/A | 210 | 400 | 640 | 1000 | 1400 |
Subclasses
When a character reaches a certain level in a class they must select a subclass. The level that this choice is made at varies from class to class.
Subclasses allow characters to further specialize their character by imparting powerful new abilities focused around enhancing the central theme of the subclass. Choosing a subclass does not cause a character to stop gaining the normal benefits of a class when advancing in level - the benefits of a subclass are on top of the normal class abilities.
See below for a list of classes and their subclasses.
Multiclassing
A character's choice of class is not permanent. When gaining a new level, a character can choose to continue advancing in level in a class they already have levels in, or they can choose to gain a level in an entirely new class. This is called multiclassing. Doing so will grant most of the benefits of advancing in level in that additional class, with some limitations.
- A multiclassed character's spell slots are dependent on the Effective Spellcaster Level of the character.
- A multiclassed character will use the spellcasting modifier from the most recent new class taken for item spellcasting.
- A multiclassed character does not receive all of the proficiencies of their new class. Multiclassing never grants saving throw proficiencies. A multiclassed character's proficiency bonus increases as normal, however.
- A multiclassed character adds their total level in all classes together to determine their overall character level.
- Players cannot multiclass when playing on "Explorer" difficulty.
- A multiclassed character receives all proficiencies from a chosen subclass - for instance, while multiclassing into Fighter does not grant Heavy Armour proficiency, multiclassing into War Cleric does, since the proficiency belongs to the subclass rather than the main class.
Note that each new class gained through multiclassing begins at level one, and all chosen classes are levelled separately. For example, If a character has taken three levels in bard, and chooses to multiclass and takes one level of sorcerer, they will have access to traits for levels one through three of bard, and access to the traits for a level one sorcerer. They will not have access to level four traits of bard, despite being level four overall.
Multiclass proficiencies
| Class | Gained Proficiency | Class | Gained Proficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barbarian | Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons | Bard | Light Armour, One skill, One instrument |
| Cleric | Light Armour, Medium Armour, Shields, Flails, Morningstars | Druid | Light Armour, Medium Armour, Shields |
| Fighter | Light Armour, Medium Armour, Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons | Monk | Simple Weapons, Shortswords |
| Paladin | Light Armour, Medium Armour, Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons | Ranger | Light Armour, Medium Armour, Shields, Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons, One skill |
| Rogue | Light Armour, One skill | Sorcerer | Daggers, Light Crossbows, Quarterstaves |
| Warlock | Light armour, Simple Weapons | Wizard | Daggers, Light Crossbows, Quarterstaves |
