Summary

• There are a handful of good race choice for Clerics in Baldur's Gate 3, and here we look at some of the most beneficial options.
• Drow make excellent Clerics with their Superior Darkvision, Fey Ancestry, and racial spells like Faerie Fire and Darkness.
• Forest Gnomes are also a great option for Clerics who want to talk to animals, in addition to their other racial features like Darkvision and Gnome Cunning.

Clerics are the chosen of their gods, and can function as divine protectors or destroyers while enacting their deity's will. Naturally, a being of any race could gain the gods' favor, but in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur’s Gate 3, some of the options will m♔ake your journey easier ♐than others.

The game’s races come with a wide variety of bonuses, and while many of them can be of great help to a Cleric, others are of little use. Fortunatel❀y, this list is he🧸re to help you decide which races you should consider when creating your next Cleric, and which you should probably leave alone.

This list is not taking 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:multiclassing into account.

7 Gold Dwarf🉐

Clerics will generally position themselves near the front lines of ꧃combat; some of their Domains even get heavy armor to help them survive. But unlike more conventional tank classes, such as Fighters or Paladins, Clerics have life totals comparable to Bards or Warlocks.

Playing a Gold Dwarf helps even ✤the playing field a bit. Dwarven Resilience will protect you from any poisons, while the Gold Dwarves unique trait, Dwarven Toughness, gives you the extra hit points necessary to keep you from getting flattened while walking forward to protect your team.

6 Drow

In addition to being an interesting race from a role-play perspective, Drow get several advantage🤪s that make them excellent Clerics. Perception proficiency and Superior Darkvision are both nice to have, and Fey Ancestry protects you from some nasty effects.

The racial spells Drow get can also make a significant difference; isn’t great, but Faerie Fire and Darkness are both solid options for a Cleric. Light Domain Clerics do have access t💯o the former, but none of the Domains can use Darkness under normal circumstances.

5 🅷 Forest Gnome

Nature Domain Clerics can use the Speak with Animals spell, but what if you want to play some other kind of Cleric while still talking to your furry friends? Well, t💞hat’s where Forest Gnomes come in, letting you chat with squirrels no matter which Domain you choose.

These diminutive forest dwellers get other useful abilities as well, the most important of which is the excellent Gnome Cunning. Getting blanket protection𝄹s against effects targeting three different ability scores iꦓs substantially better than most other racial traits.

4 🅘 Strongheart Halfling

Strongheart Halflings get some tools t🎐hat areꦅ helpful for keeping your Cleric alive. Being able to protect themselves from poisons (the Strongheart-specific feature) and Fear is useful for Clerics of any Domain.

However, it's no secret that the real reason to play a Halfling is f🌳or Halfling Luck. How useful re-rolling attacks is will vary somewhat depending on your chosen Domain, as some will be more likely to make attack rolls than others, but the effect will come into play outside combat no matter what.

3 Wood Elf

Wood Elves are the sprinters of Baldur's Gate 3💧, getting more movement speed than any other race (aside from Wood Half-Elves, whose Shield proficiency is redundant for Druids). Their speed is great for both melee-focused Clerics, who want to get up close and personal, and Clerics that try to keep their enemies at a distan♛ce.

The obvious comparison for Wood Elves is the Drow, who appeared earlier on this list. Wood Elves get all the same 🌊bonuses Drow do, but exchange the narrow usefulness of spel🙈ls for the more broadly applicable movement speed.

2 Duergar

A large part of what makes Duergar powerful Clerics comes from the potency of their 🦄Duergar Magic. Enlarge could come in handy for more melee-focused Clerics, but Invisibility is the spell you’re really looking for.

Even the sneaky 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Trickery Domain Clerics can only turn invisible wi🐼th their Channel Divinity ability, and they can only do it when obscured by darkness. In addition to the spells, Duergar get Dwarven Rꩲesilience (the same ability as Gold Dwarves and Strongheart Halflings) and the additional protection of Duergar Resilience, keeping them safe from psychic attacks.

1 Githyanki

Githyanki are arguably Baldur's Gate 3's strongest race in a vacuum, so it's no surprise that they make good Clerics. Astral Knowledge is one of the few r💫acial abilities that is truly exceptional, allowing you to perform adequately in areas normally outside a Cleꦛrics expertise, like diplomacy or thievery.

A Githyanki Cleric will also get racial spells from their Githyanki Psionics that they otherwise wouldn’t hav꧂e access to. Mage Hand and Enhance Leap are both solid options, while Misty Step is great for maneuvering your Cleric around the battlefield.
