Recommended Rogue Feats in BG3

Here are eight standout 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:

Unleash unparalleled versatility. 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.

Athlete:

Enhance agility and finesse. Reduce movement costs for climbing and rising from prone positions, and execute running jumps with ease. A +1 bonus to Strength or Dexterity further enhances your character's capabilities.

Tough:

While evasion is key, damage is inevitable. Tough significantly increases your hit points, bolstering survivability and making your Rogue a more resilient force on the battlefield.

Mobile:

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Move freely after attacking, allowing for strategic repositioning and escapes. Highly effective in both melee and ranged engagements.

Alert:

Avoid the perils of surprise attacks. Gain advantage on initiative rolls and negate surprise effects, ensuring your Rogue remains a potent threat throughout combat.

Dungeon Delver:

Enhance your Rogue's exploration capabilities. Easily detect and disarm traps, and effortlessly unlock doors and chests. A significant quality-of-life improvement.

Crossbow Expert:

Unleash devastating crossbow attacks. Use your crossbow for sneak attacks at close range, and significantly increase sneak attack damage at all ranges. A highly effective and thematic choice.

Lucky:

A universally beneficial feat. Three Luck Points allow you to reroll attacks, ability checks, or saving throws, significantly improving your chances of success. Points refresh after a long rest.

Savage Attacker:

Ideal for melee Rogues. Roll damage dice twice and use the higher result for increased melee damage output, even without sneak attacks.

Conclusion

By strategically selecting these feats, you can craft a Rogue capable of exceptional damage and survivability. Experiment with different combinations to find the perfect build for your preferred playstyle.
