Sorcerer

Sorcerers are natural spellcasters, drawing on inherent magic from a gift or bloodline.

Sorcerer is a character Class in Baldur's Gate 3. Sorcerers use their innate magical powers to fight enemies and aid allies in combat. Sorcerers use Charisma as their primary ability score.

The Sorcerer subclasses are: Wild Magic, Draconic Bloodline, and Storm Sorcery.
