This page and related pages summarize rule changes from the implementation of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition (D&D 5e) rules to Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3).

The rule changes described on this page and related pages are written with the assumption the reader understands the relevant D&D 5e rule. These pages will not explain what the D&D 5e rule is, only what the changed or altered BG3 rule is. These pages also include many BG3 features and abilities that are unchanged from D&D 5e to help a D&D 5e player quickly see which options have changed and which have not, and make decisions without having to do additional research. If the BG3 rule aligns with a OneD&D rule or other playtest material from D&D 5e, that is considered a rule change from D&D 5e.

Barbarian Barbarian

  • Rage bonus damage also applies to Dexterity damage rolls and those using thrown weapons/objects.
  • Reckless Attack is either a normal melee attack or as an after-attack reroll with all melee attacks, rather than before your first attack each turn.
    • Advantage Icon.png Advantage is applied to all attack rolls once used, not just melee.
    • It is not limited by the attack's ability modifier.
  • Feral Instinct gives a fixed +3 bonus to Initiative, instead of advantage.

Wildheart Wildheart (Path of the Totem Warrior)

  • The Beast Sense spell is not in the game.
  • The level 1 feature Speak with Animals is able to be cast once per long rest, rather than as a ritual. Though, it now lasts until long rest.
  • The level 3 feature Bestial Heart gives the character full benefits even if they rage while in heavy armor.
    • Each Bestial Heart option provides a new unique action as well.
  • The level 6 feature Aspect of the Beast, or Animal Aspect, has 5 additional choices.

Berserker Berserker (Path of the Berserker)

  • Frenzied Strike applies a cumulative -1 attack roll debuff until the rage ends instead of causing the character to gain a level of exhaustion.
  • While in Frenzy, a character may use Enraged Throw as a bonus action to throw a creature or object at a target.

Wild Magic Barbarian Wild Magic Barbarian (Path of the Wild Soul)

  • Magic Awareness lets anyone within 3m add their Proficiency Bonus to Saving Throws against spells.
    • As opposed to letting the Barbarian identify the location and school of an upcoming spell within 60 feet that isn't behind complete cover.

Bard Bard

  • Bards automatically gain proficiency in all musical instruments, which include hand drums, flute, lute, lyre, and violins.
  • Song of rest is a once per long rest ability that allows the party to take an additional short rest, and it does not get any upgrades.
  • Countercharm lasts 3 turns, rather than 1.
  • Jack of All Trades does not apply half the Bard's proficiency bonus to initiative rolls. (In 5E, Initiative is a Dexterity Ability Check that the Bard is not proficient in, so Jack of All Trades has been ruled to apply.)
  • Magical Secrets is restricted to a limited list of additional spells, instead of allowing the Bard to pick any spell.

College of Lore College of Lore

College of Swords College of Swords

  • College of Swords Bards do not get 10 feet movement on an attack action.
