Recommended Feats for Your BG3 Rogue

Here are eight standout feats for your Rogue in BG3:

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:

Unleash unparalleled 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. Eliminate extra movement costs for climbing and rising from prone positions, and execute running jumps with ease. A +1 to Strength or Dexterity adds further benefit.

Tough:

While evasion is key, damage is inevitable. Tough significantly increases hit points, bolstering survivability and making your Rogue harder to eliminate.

Mobile:

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Move freely after attacking, allowing for strategic repositioning and escape from enemy range. Excellent for both melee and ranged combat.

Alert:

Avoid the perils of surprise. Gain advantage on initiative rolls, reducing the risk of being ambushed and maximizing your Rogue's damage output.

Dungeon Delver:

Enhance your Rogue's already impressive trap-disarming and lockpicking skills. A significant quality-of-life improvement for navigating the game's many challenges.

Crossbow Expert:

Unleash devastating crossbow attacks. Use your crossbow for sneak attacks at close range, significantly increasing damage output at all ranges. A truly powerful and thematic choice.

Additional Powerful Feats:

Lucky:

A universally beneficial feat. Three Luck Points allow for rerolling attacks, ability checks, and saving throws, significantly improving your chances of success.

Savage Attacker:

Ideal for melee Rogues. Roll damage dice twice and use the highest result, maximizing damage output, especially when sneak attacks aren't available.
