Baldur's Gate 3: Best Feats For Every Class

Baldur's Gate 3 has a few different ways of making your character more powerful. You can equip armor and items, you can use performance (no, not the stat) enhancing items or you can just level yourself up and take feats. Feats (or Features) are things that you can only do at certain levels, and that make you much more powerful. Some are great for any class, but some are perfect for specific classes.

Best Feats For Every Class

Okay, so certain feats are great for every class and are worth considering regardless of your class. As you'll notice as you get deeper into the list, there's a lot of crossover in the feats that you can use for certain classes, but we'd recommend that you use Tough for any Spellcaster class due to the lower health they get.

Ability Improvement 

An Ability Improvement is taken in the place of a feat and allows you to increase two of the core stats by 1, or one of the core stats by 2. 

Lucky

The Lucky feat is great for literally any class, giving you three Luck points that you can spend to reroll any attack rolls, ability checks, or saving throws, or even make your opponent reroll their attack rolls! These refresh each night on a long rest, so they can be extremely useful in big battles.

Tough

The Tough Feat is extremely simple. You gain two hit points per level for every level you gain. What this means is that by the time you hit Level 12 and max out your character, you'll have an additional 24 hit points!
