In addition to class features, every character has several different skills. Baldur's Gate 3 - What Are the Skills For? The star will indicate your most important stat for your class.

If your class doesn't use Charisma for anything, however, it's usually pretty safe to dump it. Social rogues will love the bonus to their conversational skills, and warlocks will use it for spellcasting and class features. Any party face wants a decent base Charisma. It schmoozes, it smooths things over, and it's quite the force of nature. Clerics benefit a lot from a high Wisdom, as it is their main casting stat, but nobody wants to fail a Wisdom Saving Throw.Ĭharisma (Cha) is the flashy wine-aunt of the stats. It affects the all-important Wisdom Saving Throw and some very useful skills (such as Perception and Insight). She's wise and thoughtful and can be quite sharp when the situation calls for it. Wisdom (Wis) is your doddering, well-meaning grandmother. Other classes may want a little bit to improve their knowledge checks, but most characters won't make much use of it.

Wizards are the only class that relies on a massive Intelligence, as it fuels their spells and pretty much everything they need to do. Intelligence (Int) is that relative who loves to talk at length about boring things. Nobody was ever upset to have more Constitution. While no class uses it as its primary stat, it is without a doubt an important one. It governs Hit Points, Concentration Checks for spellcasters, and very important Constitution Saving Throws.

Constitution (Con) is the cousin that is very important for the party to be a success but also doesn't say much once it's underway.
