Rogues in Baldur's Gate 3 are masters of stealth and deception, capable of inflicting significant damage. This guide highlights the best feats to enhance your Rogue's effectiveness, whether you prefer ranged or melee combat.
Top Feats for Your BG3 Rogue:
Here are eight exceptional feats to consider:

2. Skilled: Unleash unparalleled versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice – perfect for tailoring your Rogue to any playstyle, whether it's stealth, lockpicking, or tracking.
3. Athlete: Enhance agility and finesse. Eliminate extra movement costs for climbing and rising from prone positions, and execute running jumps with ease. Also provides a +1 to Strength or Dexterity.
4. Tough: Increase survivability. Gain significant extra hit points, bolstering your Rogue's resilience against incoming damage. While evasion is key, Tough provides a valuable safety net.
5. Mobile: Master hit-and-run tactics. Move freely after attacking, allowing for strategic repositioning and escapes. Excellent for both melee and ranged engagements.
6. Alert: Avoid surprise attacks. Gain advantage on initiative rolls and negate surprise, ensuring your Rogue remains a potent force in combat.
7. Dungeon Delver: Enhance exploration. Easily detect and disable traps, and effortlessly unlock doors and chests. A significant quality-of-life improvement for navigating the game world.
8. Crossbow Expert: Unleash devastating crossbow attacks. Use your crossbow for sneak attacks at close range, and deal increased damage at all ranges. A highly effective and thematic choice.
Additional Powerful Feats:
- Lucky: A universally beneficial feat offering Luck Points to reroll attacks, ability checks, or saving throws. Highly recommended for any build.
