Top Rogue Feats in BG3

Here are eight standout feats to consider:

Sharpshooter:

A game-changer for ranged Rogues. Ignore cover, extend your range, and boost damage by 10 (at the cost of a -5 to hit). Transform your Rogue into a deadly sniper.

Skilled:

Unmatched versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice. Become a master of stealth, acrobatics, lockpicking, or any combination that suits your playstyle.

Athlete:

Enhance agility and finesse. Reduce movement costs for climbing and rising from prone, and perform impressive running jumps. A +1 to Strength or Dexterity is an added bonus.

Tough:

While evasion is key, damage is unavoidable. Tough significantly increases hit points, bolstering survivability, especially when combined with a Rogue's natural evasiveness.

Mobile:

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Move freely after attacking, ideal for both melee and ranged engagements.

Alert:

Avoid surprise attacks, a critical vulnerability for Rogues. The initiative bonus is also a valuable asset.

Dungeon Delver:

A quality-of-life improvement. Easily detect and disable traps, and effortlessly unlock doors and chests.

Crossbow Expert:

A top choice. Utilize crossbows effectively at close range, maximizing sneak attack damage at all ranges. A stylish and powerful option.

Additional Powerful Feats:

Lucky:

Universally beneficial. Use Luck Points for advantage on attacks, checks, or saves, and force enemy attack reroles.

Savage Attacker:

Ideal for melee builds. Roll damage twice and use the higher result, significantly increasing melee damage output.

With these feats, your Baldur's Gate 3 Rogue will be a force to be reckoned with. Experiment and find the combination that best suits your playstyle.
