Updated April 6, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is right around the corner, and though lots of the new subclasses seem like a lot of fun to play, the base game still offers some very powerful options for the best Paladin build in BG3. The Oath of Devotion Paladin is still the best Paladin build in BG3 – but that could change with the release of Larian Studios patch 8. Until then, stick with this Oath of Devotion Paladin guide to learn the best Paladin build tips, what makes the Oath of Devotion such a powerful subclass for the Paladin, and other information that will help you min-max your Paladin character. This Paladin build guide has been updated to add in-game flavor descriptions of the class and subclass, as well as a new small section with the best consumables for the Paladin, including both potions and elixirs, in the Equipment section.

In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Paladin, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Paladin, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.

Flood a creature‘s mind with an illusion of the last thing that attacked it. Each turn, it takes 1d6 Psychic damage. Each time it takes damage from another source, the damage type of Phantasmal Force changes to that damage type.

Astarion : Best suited for the Thief subclass, Astarion lets you access hidden, locked areas more easily and is capable of setting up complex combat strategies without attracting attention with Stealth.

Curse a creature so it takes additional damage whenever you attack it and to inflict Disadvantage on Ability Checks with an Ability of your choosing. If the target dies before the spell ends, you can use a bonus action to hex a new creature.

Choosing the Thief Rogue subclass as a Monk will bar the player from the Shadow Strike ability (Level 11 Shadow Monk) and the Purity of Body ability (Level 10 Monk). However, it unlocks the ability to Sneak Attack, which works perfectly in tandem with the Shadow Monk's playstyle.

Choosing the Fighter multiclass in Baldur's Gate 3 is a go-to for many looking to multiclass because, with two levels in Fighter, players unlock the Action Surge ability. With a bonus action, a character can use Action Surge to gain a second action that turn.
