Best Sorcerer Feats in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)

The Sorcerer class really is the spellcaster supreme in Baldur’s Gate 3. They have a whole kit of fun and incredibly powerful spells at their disposal. In this guide, we’re breaking down the five best feats for the Sorcerer class in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Top 8 Sorcerer Feats in BG3

Here are the eight best feats for Sorcerer in BG3, ensuring your arcane arsenal is both versatile and formidable:

• 8 – Lucky
• 7 – Actor
• 6 – Ritual Caster
• 5 – Magic Initiate
• 4 – Elemental Adept
• 3 – War Caster
• 2 – Spell Sniper
• 1 – Alert

8 – Lucky

The Lucky feat can be a real game-changer for a Sorcerer. With this feat, you get to reroll an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check three times per long rest. It’s like having a safety net for those crucial moments when things don’t go your way. Trust me, you’ll love having this up your sleeve in tight spots!

7 – Actor

Since Sorcerers rely heavily on Charisma, the Actor feat is a great pick. It boosts your Charisma by 1 and gives you advantage on Deception and Performance checks when pretending to be someone else. This can come in handy for those tricky social encounters where a little extra charm goes a long way.

6 – Ritual Caster

While Sorcerers are known for their spontaneous magic, the Ritual Caster feat adds some strategic depth to your spellcasting. You can learn two 1st-level ritual spells from any spellcasting class, giving you more options without using up spell slots. It’s perfect for those times when you need a little extra magic up your sleeve without dipping into your reserves.

5 – Magic Initiate

The Sorcerer is all about casting spells. The Magic Initiate feat is an excellent way to get your hands on a few extras from another class. Sorcerers work best with Warlock or Bard spells, so I’d recommend choosing either of those options. Having two extra Cantrips and an extra level 1 spell from either of those classes really adds some nice flexibility to what you can cast.

4 – Elemental Adept

Elemental Adept is an awesome feat for the Sorcerer in Baldur’s Gate 3. You generally will enjoy a certain elemental spell type the most anyway. With this feat, you’ll have the ability to specialize in an element and ignore enemy resistances when casting. This is a huge damage boost and well worth picking up.

3 – War Caster

Some of the most powerful spells for Sorcerers in Baldur’s Gate 3 require you to maintain concentration to keep them active. With War Caster, you’ll have advantage on saving throws, which is a big boost to your ability to maintain spell concentration. You only get so many uses of your spells per long rest, so you’ll want them to last, and this is the feat to help with that!

2 – Spell Sniper

Spell Sniper is a very nice boost to the Sorcerer’s damage output. With this feat, I’ve found myself able to Crit quite often with my spells. This will do a ton more damage and will help you take down tougher enemies far quicker.

1 – Alert

As a spell caster who has access to some incredible AOE spells, you’ll want to be able to get these out before enemies split up. There’s nothing quite like taking out an entire group of enemies right at the start of combat with a well-placed Fireball! Alert is absolutely incredible for the Sorcerer class in Baldur’s Gate 3, and it will make them feel better to play by having the higher initiative.

Those are the top five feats for the Sorcerer class in Baldur’s Gate 3. You should consider taking some of these feats while you’re leveling as they can make a big impact on the damage and survivability of the class!
