Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What Party Compositions Do You Prefer Based On Your Class?

Let me think...

- Martial classes, Paladin included, like Clerics, because gods Bless. They also like bards because of the bardic inspiration.
- Stealthy classes might also want a Trickery Domain Cleric aka Shadowheart for Blessing of the Trickster/Invoke Duplicity.
- Sorcerers and Wizards need some frontliner in the party to pull attention, otherwise themdead (except for Abjuration Wiz).
- Warlocks and Battlemasters like Bards, because of the extra short rest from the song.

Edit: Personally, I prefer to plan my comp based on initiative, because the most impactful turns are those when your characters act back to back. I usually make two characters with high INI and those get more likely to have a 'merged' turn before the enemies act. For example having a high DEX battlemaster (me) and a Thief (Astarion) going first in the same turn can delete one or two enemies instantly. They are adding Alert in the release version so I might have two characters take it just for the sake of those crazy big turns.
