I knew this because it&#8217;s almost infamous as the pen and paper version&#8217;s best multiclass dip\u2014pure, unfiltered value for a huge variety of builds.<\/p>\n<p>What I didn&#8217;t see coming was just how <em>well <\/em>it&#8217;d slot into Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3&#8217;s gameplay. I&#8217;ve started a new Honour Mode run where two out of three of my party are hexblades\u2014one Sorcadin, one Swashbuckler Rogue\u2014and I mean it when I say it&#8217;s borderline overpowered. It&#8217;s the most potent boost in power to any CHA-based character. That is to say, it&#8217;s useful for almost half of the classes in the game.<\/p>\n<p>D&#038;D (and Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3&#8217;s) places a huge emphasis on Charisma-based classes. Out of the 12 classes in BG3, a whopping <em>five <\/em>make use of Charisma in some way: Paladins, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Bards, and Rogues. Out of that list, Rogue is the least dependent on Charisma\u2014unless you&#8217;re playing the Swashbuckler subclass, newly added with patch 8.<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;ve never multiclassed, here&#8217;s how it works: Instead of advancing your level in one class, you take a level in another. For example, my Sorcadin is currently a level 4 character made up of a level 2 Paladin, level 1 Sorcerer, and level 1 Hexblade Warlock in a violent trenchcoat.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, what you&#8217;re looking for in a multiclass dip is <em>value. <\/em>You&#8217;re delaying the features of your main class for bonuses elsewhere, and let me tell you, the Hexblade is absolutely stacked. Here&#8217;s what you get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access to the Shield spell, which is useful at every level.<\/li>\n<li>A level 1 spell slot that recharges on a short rest.<\/li>\n<li>Another spell of your choice\u2014I recommend Expeditious Retreat, which gives you a bonus action dash.<\/li>\n<li>A bonus-action curse that increases your crit range against a single target to 19 or 20 on the die. That&#8217;s a 10% chance to crit, or a 20% chance to crit with advantage.<\/li>\n<li>The ability to make a melee weapon of your choice use Charisma instead of Strength or Dexterity for its attack rolls.<\/li>\n<li>Proficiency with shields, medium armour, and martial weapons.<\/li>\n<li>Access to the Booming Blade and Eldritch Blast cantrips, which are beasts in their own right.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The real star of the show here is the Bind Pact Weapon feature, which makes classes like the Swashbuckler Rogue, (Any) Paladin, and Swords Bard into single-attribute dependent (SAD) monsters. Which is a huge benefit. Usually, these classes would have to split their limited pool of attribute points between their hitting stat and their magic\/save DC stat\u2014not so with the Hexblade.<\/p>\n<p>Even then, most CHA-based classes get something useful out of this dip, too. Even a straight-up Sorcerer will enjoy access to shields, medium armour, and Eldritch Blast\u2014grab another level for the Agonizing Blast invocation and you&#8217;re a pretty much full caster with martial scaling at a distance. You can also quicken spell metamagic your Eldritch Blast and become an arcane gatling gun, casting it twice in one turn.<\/p>\n<p>Swashbuckler Rogues, in particular, will adore both being able to use a shield and the free damage that comes from Booming Blade. Paladins will love actually being able to rely on their control spells as <em>well <\/em>as their smites, having a ranged backup option in Eldritch Blast, and also getting free damage from the good ol&#8217; BB.<\/p>\n<p>And Shield pairs with your level 1 Warlock spell slot like a fine wine to an entree. On tabletop, this is slightly less good because there&#8217;s not always a guarantee of getting a short rest: In BG3, though, you can rest as often as you have camp supplies for\u2014and if you know how to scrounge up food, you basically always have enough in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p>This comes clutch in Honour Mode. Having an on-demand +5 bump to your AC can mean the difference between life and death if you&#8217;re being multi-attacked, since Shield lasts until the start of your next turn. It&#8217;s saved my bacon more than once.<\/p>\n<p>The only downside is the main-hand requirement\u2014meaning that going for a Hexblade character ties them to melee weapons. Eldritch Blast is a nice backup option, but that does throw away a swathe of powerful magic ranged weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, though, the Hexblade isn&#8217;t just a <em>good <\/em>multiclass, it&#8217;s often straight-up better than being a single-classed member of most of the game&#8217;s CHA-based crew: And <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/a-jack-of-all-trades-in-dandd-an-absolute-monster-in-baldurs-gate-3-why-the-college-of-swords-bard-is-the-best-choice-for-honour-mode\/\">my powergamer heart<\/a> is oh-so delighted by that news.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"19dc6ac3-c2fb-4452-8afc-2aef90acb6c7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Baldur's Gate 3 romance\" data-dimension48=\"Baldur's Gate 3 romance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"E4JL5DbKeweC5p7opWdx2K\" name=\"baldurs-astarion-square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/baldurs-gate-3-just-got-the-hexblade-one-of-dds-most-op-multiclass-options-and-its-still-the-best-1-level-dip-you-could-possibly-take.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/baldurs-gate-3-romance-options-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"19dc6ac3-c2fb-4452-8afc-2aef90acb6c7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Baldur's Gate 3 romance\" data-dimension48=\"Baldur's Gate 3 romance\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 romance<\/strong><\/a>: Who to pursue<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/baldurs-gate-3-multiplayer-co-op-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 multiplayer<\/strong><\/a>: How co-op works<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/baldurs-gate-3-endings\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 endings<\/strong><\/a>: For better or worse<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/baldurs-gate-3-multiclass-builds\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 multiclass builds<\/strong><\/a>: Coolest combos<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: The greatest you can play now<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/baldurs-gate\/baldurs-gate-3-just-got-the-hexblade-one-of-d-and-ds-most-op-multiclass-options-and-its-still-the-best-1-level-dip-you-could-possibly-take\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who has played quite a bit of D&#038;D 5e, the TTRPG system that Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 is based on, I knew that Hexblade was going to be good.
