Recommended Rogue Feats in BG3

Here are eight top-tier feats for your BG3 Rogue:

Sharpshooter:

Transform your Rogue into a deadly ranged combatant. Ignore cover, extend your range, and boost damage by 10 (at the cost of a -5 penalty to hit). Ideal for maximizing long-range effectiveness.

Skilled:

Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice. Customize your Rogue to excel in stealth, acrobatics, lockpicking, or any combination that suits your playstyle. Unmatched versatility.

Athlete:

Boost agility and finesse. Reduce movement costs for climbing and rising from prone, and enable efficient running jumps. Improves navigation and maneuverability. Also provides a +1 to Strength or Dexterity.

Tough:

Increase survivability with significant extra hit points. While Rogues prioritize evasion, Tough provides a crucial safety net against unavoidable damage.

Mobile:

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Move freely after attacking, enabling strategic repositioning and evasion in both melee and ranged combat.

Alert:

Avoid surprise attacks and gain a significant initiative bonus. Crucial for maintaining your Rogue's damage output by preventing early incapacitation.

Dungeon Delver:

Improve your ability to navigate traps and locks. A quality-of-life feat that significantly enhances exploration and efficiency outside of combat.

Crossbow Expert:

Unlock the full potential of crossbows. Enable sneak attacks at close range, increase sneak attack damage at all ranges, and eliminate the need for melee combat. A highly effective and thematic choice.

Lucky:

A universally beneficial feat. Use Luck Points to gain advantage on attacks, ability checks, or saving throws, and force enemy attack rerolls. Refreshes on long rests.

Savage Attacker:

Ideal for melee Rogues. Roll damage twice and use the higher result, significantly increasing melee damage output, especially when sneak attacks aren't available.

These feats will transform your Rogue into a formidable force in Baldur's Gate 3. Experiment and find the combination that best suits your preferred playstyle.
