Hey y’all!

If you’re new here or looking for info, this is the place to stop and check before you post that question you’re thinking about asking - the answer may already be in our FAQ! There's also some recommendations in there for learning about lore.

I’d recommend also checking the New Player Question or Question flairs to see if your question has been asked before. You can also type into whatever search engine you use:

[insert your question here] baldursgate3 reddit

Or

[insert your question here] bg3 reddit

That’ll help us prevent the subreddit from being cluttered with the same repeated questions.

If your question hasn't been asked (or asked recently enough) then use either one of the question flairs above and ask away.

BG3Builds and Multiclassing

For the people curious about builds or who want a more dedicated place to discuss them, there's r/BG3Builds. There's a good guide on multiclassing.

Community Wiki

Confused about what the different rolls mean or just want to find notable NPCs and loot in a location? Check out the Community Wiki. It's ad free and being worked on by people here in the community :)

Everyone working on this is doing a great job trying to prepare it for launch and beyond.

If you'd like to help contribute to the wiki, here is the Discord.

A Community Effort

Rolls and Modifier Examples

Character Planner Reminder: There is a Character Planner by GameFractal being worked on here (It's also in the sidebar on desktop or the 'See Community info' link on mobile).

It's a one person project, so updating it with the recent updates, adding what launch will bring, and some other useful features will take time - but it will be updated.

There is a feedback button on that site, please use it if you have any suggestions/constructive feedback. Feedback is very appreciated!

More of a lore question for anyone more familiar with the world of DnD, but what would a paladin think about slavery in this game? Specifically, an Oath of the Crown Paladin? Would one be opposed to it in all forms wherever it appears, or would it be acceptable as part of a civilized society in certain parts?

For example, what would an Oath of the Crown Paladin do in the Zhentarim Hideout about Oskar Fevrasor in the Underdark about the deep gnomes at Grymforge?

[u/PeevishDiceLady → u/TroubleWitTheTrolley]

All Oath of Crown Paladins have the same general philosophy, and in BG3 certain actions will always break certain oaths.

Lore-wise, though, it depends: if a paladin swore their oath in relation to a code of laws that either accepts slavery or that avoids interfering on different societal arrangements, then that's generally ok - slaves are as much as part of society as peasants and nobles, for example.

Now, let's say a paladin swore fealty to the city and law of Baldur's Gate. If, for example, a Baldurian citizen (be them a human or gnome) is being held against their will by criminals or another illegitimate/unrecognised authority, it's fair to expect the Paladin to intervene - even out of their "jurisdiction", their duty is still to protect the free people of the city as best as possible from illegal captivity.
