Baldurs Gate 3: Fighter/Warrior - specialisations Baldurs Gate 3 guide, walkthrough
In this chapter of the Baldurs Gate 3 game guide, you will find all the relevant information about the Fighter specialization - one of the many character classes available in the game.
After reaching the third level of experience in Baldurs Gate 3, your hero will be given the option of choosing one of two specializations: Battle Master or Eldritch Knight. Each specialization will quite significantly affect the playing style of the character, so it is worth thinking carefully before making such an important choice.
Battle Master
By choosing a specialization called Battle Master, your Hero will be able to use various battle maneuvers to gain an advantage over his opponent and inflict additional damage. If you want to use a given action you will need to use a special dice called the Superior Dice. You will have three of the four options to choose from.
- Menacing Attack - use a special die to inflict 1d6 3 1d8 piercing damage and possibly frighten a target;
- Pushing Attack - use a special die to inflict 1d6 3 1d8 piercing damage and possibly push the target away by 4.5 meters;
- Rally - use a special die to strengthen the determination of the creature, which will gain an additional 8 health points;
- Riposte - if your opponent misses during an attack, you can use the superiority die to retaliate and inflict 1d6 3 1d8 piercing damage.
You recover all the Superior Dice when you complete a short or longer rest.
Eldritch Knight
By choosing a specialization called Eldritch Knight, you will gain magical knowledge, which will allow you to use many useful spells during combat: tricks, strengthening spells, and even offensive spells.
