Rangers have always had an interesting place in Dungeons & Dragons, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is no exception to this. An interesting mix of a ranged and melee class, the Ranger can also cast a handful of spells and speak to animals — which can make for some interesting encounters. However, when it comes to the best Feats for Rangers in Baldur’s Gate 3, it generally depends on your build. Since the Ranger isn’t as robust as the Fighter, they sort of skirt that middle ground between the Fighter and Barbarian. For this reason, we’ve suggested Feats that will help your Ranger realize their damage potential and make them a light-tank.
Best Feats for Rangers in Baldur’s Gate 3
Rangers are in an interesting spot in Baldur’s Gate 3, which makes it difficult to find a best Feat for the Class. Because it is all entirely situational around what kind of weapon you want to use. The Feats suggested can be used together to create a melee focused build, which will give your Ranger extra hit points and make them more adept at slashing your enemies to ribbons.
- Ability Improvement (Dexterity or Constitution)
- Athlete
- Dual Wielder
- Savage Attacker
- Tough
Tough will provide that extra HP, whereas Dual Wielder will allow you to use two weapons without suffering any penalties. Again, keep in mind this is generally for melee Rangers, but can also be used for ranged Rangers if you want to swap out Tough for Sharpshooter. Also consider Multiclassing your Ranger if you feel like they aren’t quite dealing the damage you want. Monk is always a strong option in Baldur’s Gate 3, and Rogue is also a great choice for those looking to take the stealthier route with their Ranger.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is available for PC and PlayStation 5.
