Upon leveling up in Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll slowly become more and more talented. With more abilities in your arsenal, you’ll become one of the most skilled people in all of Faerun. It doesn’t just stop there though, as there is something called Feats. If you’re a fan of Dungeons & Dragons, you know exactly what these do. But if you’re not sure what feats are and which ones will be in Larian Studios’ latest game, let’s go over all the Feats in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Baldur’s Gate 3: All Feats explained
All Feats in Baldur’s Gate 3 are types of talents that give you special abilities. There are dozens of Feats to choose from, and each are selectively unique. Sometimes you’ll receive a passive skill, while other times you’ll gain new spells or attacks. Certain feats even give you opportunities only available to certain classes.

At certain levels, you’ll gain the opportunity to either gain two ability points to spend on ability scores, or gain a Feat. Sadly, this choice makes you forgo the other option, but there are a few times in game where you can do this. At character level four, eight, and 12, you’ll gain this opportunity. Although increasing an ability score is useful, I find that gaining at least one Feat is optimal for an exciting playthrough. Nearly all Feats in Baldur’s Gate 3 have certain prerequisites, so keep an eye out for those on the list below.
