Embarking on a *Baldur’s Gate 3* adventure as a Rogue? Excellent choice! These masters of stealth and subterfuge are incredibly effective, capable of dishing out devastating damage. Let's explore the best feats to enhance your Rogue's capabilities.

Top Feats for Your *Baldur's Gate 3* Rogue

Here are eight exceptional feats to consider for your BG3 Rogue:

Sharpshooter

For ranged Rogues, Sharpshooter is a game-changer. Ignore cover, extend your attack range, and boost damage by 10 (at the cost of a -5 penalty to hit). Transform your Rogue into a deadly sniper, maximizing ranged combat effectiveness.

Skilled

Skilled offers incredible versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice. Become a master of stealth, acrobatics, and sleight of hand, or the party's expert locksmith, tracker, and appraiser. Adapt your Rogue to any situation.

Athlete

Enhance your Rogue's agility and finesse. Eliminate the extra movement cost for climbing and rising from prone, and perform running jumps with a mere 5-foot run-up. Navigate terrain, evade traps, and leap obstacles with grace and speed. You also gain a +1 to Strength or Dexterity.

Tough

Even the stealthiest Rogue takes damage. Tough significantly boosts hit points, dramatically increasing survivability. Combined with a Rogue's natural evasion, you become a formidable opponent.

Mobile

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Strike from range, then vanish without penalty. Ideal for ranged duels, allowing you to snipe and retreat safely.

Alert

Avoid the dangers of surprise. Alert prevents being surprised, a crucial advantage for a Rogue. The initiative bonus is also highly beneficial.

Dungeon Delver

*Baldur’s Gate 3* is riddled with traps and locked containers. Dungeon Delver enhances your Rogue's natural abilities, effortlessly detecting and disabling traps and unlocking most locks. A significant quality-of-life improvement.

Crossbow Expert

Unleash the power of the crossbow! Use your crossbow for sneak attacks at close range, dealing increased damage at all ranges. A thematic and devastating choice.

Lucky

A universally beneficial feat. Three Luck Points allow you to gain advantage on attacks, ability checks, or saving throws, and force enemy attack rerolls. Refreshes after a long rest.

Savage Attacker

For melee Rogues, Savage Attacker is essential. Roll damage twice and use the higher result, significantly boosting your damage output, even without sneak attack.
