Recommended Feats for Your BG3 Rogue

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

Sharpshooter:

Transform your Rogue into a deadly ranged combatant. Ignore cover, extend your attack 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. Become a master of stealth, acrobatics, and lockpicking, or tailor your skills to your specific playstyle.

Athlete:

Enhance agility and finesse. Reduce movement costs for climbing and rising from prone, and execute running jumps with ease. Improve navigation, trap avoidance, and obstacle traversal. Also provides a +1 to Strength or Dexterity.

Crossbow Expert:

A top choice for crossbow-wielding Rogues. Utilize sneak attacks at close range and increase sneak attack damage at all ranges. A powerful and thematic option.

A universally beneficial feat. Use Luck Points to gain advantage on attacks, checks, or saving throws, or force enemy rerolls. Refreshes after a long rest.
