Level six Light Domain Clerics get the ability "Improved Warding Flare," allowing them to use their reaction to impose disadvantage on an enemy attacking an ally. This should never be overlooked as it can drastically improve the party's odds in a fight and protect them from especially dangerous attacks.

Domain spells work just like other spells, and are highlighted in the spell list when leveling to avoid picking them twice. Channel Divinity abilities vary from domain to domain, and offer powerful effects from limited Channel Divinity charges. Clerics gain Channel Divinity charges at Level 2 and 6, which replenish on either a Short or Long Rest.

At level 10, the Battle Master gains "Improved Combat Superiority," changing their Combat Superiority Die from 1d8 to 1d10. This improves the maximum amount of bonus damage they can deal when using a Combat Maneuver. Finally, a t level 11, the Battle Master gains two more Combat Maneuvers from the list.

Lae'Zel : Best suited for the Battle Master subclass, Lae'Zel can almost singlehandedly handle your front line, drawing attention from enemies and able to withstand attacks better than some other classes.

When it comes to equipment, players should first consider the healing equipment that can be easily acquired during Act 1. Beginning with the Whispering Promise Ring, sold by Volo wherever players find him. This ring gives creatures healed by the wearer the "Blessed" effect for two turns, allowing the wearer to buff the party while healing them.

The best Sorcerer companions in BG3 are Shadowheart as your primary Support party member, Lae'Zel as a Fighter in melee range tanking blows, and Astarion as a sneaky melee party member who can be useful out of combat too.
Players who want to channel the power of the stars above, wielding radiant magic and cosmic omens, should select the Circle of the Stars as their subclass. This subclass initially grants access to Starry Form, a new use of Wild Shape that allows the Druid to embody one of three constellations. Starry Form: Archer allows them to fire Radiant Arrows as a bonus action, Starry Form: Chalice allows them to heal themselves or a target within 9m/30ft for free after casting a spell, and Starry Form: Dragon turns any roll below 10 on a concentration check into a 10 and allows the Druid to use Dazzling Breath as a bonus action to deal radiant damage in a cone.

Level six Druids of the Circle of Spores get "Fungal Infestation," which lets them create a zombie as a reaction. Level seven has them gain "Blight" and "Confusion" as additional spells, allowing them to deal high necrotic damage and confuse groups of foes. Level nine adds the spells "Cloudkill" and "Contagion," allowing them to conjure deadly poison clouds and inflict a variety of diseases on their foes.

Putting all of this together, players will be able to create huge icy surfaces using spells that deal cold damage, with even the Ray of Frost Cantrip creating a decent amount of ice thanks to the Snowburst Ring, and inflicting the chilled and frost-encrusted conditions in the process. These two conditions both apply vulnerability to cold damage and can be used to freeze foes solid too.
