Recommended Feats for BG3 Rogues

Here are eight standout feats to elevate your Rogue's gameplay:

Sharpshooter

Ideal for ranged Rogues, Sharpshooter revolutionizes combat. Ignore cover, extend your range, and boost damage by 10 (at the cost of a -5 penalty to hit). Transform your Rogue into a deadly sniper, maximizing ranged effectiveness.

Skilled

Unlock unparalleled versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice. Become a master of stealth, acrobatics, and sleight of hand, or specialize in lockpicking, tracking, and appraisal. Adapt your Rogue to any situation.

Athlete

Enhance agility and finesse. Eliminate movement penalties for climbing and rising from prone, and execute running jumps with ease. Navigate challenging terrain, evade traps, and overcome obstacles with speed and grace. You also gain a +1 to Strength or Dexterity.

Tough

While evasion is key, damage is inevitable. Tough significantly increases hit points, bolstering survivability. Combine this with a Rogue's natural evasiveness for exceptional resilience.

Mobile

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Strike from range, then swiftly retreat without penalty. Excel in ranged duels, sniping enemies and escaping their retaliation.

Alert

Avoid the devastating effects of surprise attacks. Alert enhances initiative, ensuring you act first and mitigate the risk of being ambushed. The initiative bonus is beneficial in all combat scenarios.

Dungeon Delver

Navigate the game's many traps and obstacles with ease. Detect traps, disarm them effortlessly, and unlock chests and doors without difficulty. A significant quality-of-life improvement.

Crossbow Expert

Unleash devastating crossbow attacks. Utilize sneak attacks at close range and enhance their damage at all ranges. A thematic and powerful choice for a Rogue.

Lucky

A universally beneficial feat. Three Luck Points allow for advantage on attacks, ability checks, or saving throws, and the ability to force enemy attack rerolls. Points refresh after a long rest.

Savage Attacker

Maximize melee damage. Roll damage dice twice and use the higher result, significantly increasing your offensive power, especially when sneak attacks are unavailable.
