Ranger is a character Class in Baldur's Gate 3. In tune with nature and their surroundings, Rangers utilize both their knowledge of the wilds and spellcasting to pursue their prey. Important Ability Scores for Rangers include Dexterity (or Strength), Constitution, and Wisdom.

The Ranger Subclasses are:

Ranger class progression Spell Slots per Spell Level
Level Proficiency Bonus Features Spells Known 1st 2nd 3rd
