Baldur's Gate 3 barbarian class guide: Best choices & options explained
Imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger lathered in oil in Conan the Barbarian, but about half as tall, and that is what you’ll end up with when you follow our Baldur’s Gate 3 barbarian class guide — as we have all the best choices and options explained.
The barbarian is a great class if you like to solve your problems with a giant sword, and there will be no problem too complex that can’t be solved with a simple swing and a slash if you follow our sage advice.
We’ll be taking a look at the best way to level up your barbarian, which race and subrace to choose, the best Illithid Powers and the best equipment to pick — so we’ve got every angle covered.
Where the barbarian falls short, your other party members will pick up the slack when you do actually need to engage your brain or do some sneaky sleuthing. Check out our best builds to see how to optimise any class out there.
