Recommended Rogue Feats in BG3

Sharpshooter:

Ideal for ranged Rogues, Sharpshooter ignores cover, extends attack range, and boosts damage by 10 (at the cost of a -5 to hit). Transform your Rogue into a deadly sniper.

Skilled:

Provides incredible versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice – perfect for specializing in stealth, acrobatics, lockpicking, or any combination that suits your playstyle.

Athlete:

Enhances agility. Reduces movement costs for climbing and rising from prone, and allows longer running jumps. Increases efficiency in navigating challenging terrain and escaping tricky situations. Also provides a +1 to Strength or Dexterity.

Tough:

While Rogues aim to avoid damage, BG3 makes that difficult. Tough significantly boosts hit points, dramatically increasing survivability. Combined with Rogue evasion, it makes your character incredibly durable.

Perfect for hit-and-run tactics. Allows you to easily enter and exit enemy range, ideal for both melee and ranged combat.

Alert:

Avoids the devastating effects of surprise attacks. The initiative bonus is also a valuable asset.

Dungeon Delver:

Enhances trap detection and disabling, and improves lockpicking. A significant quality-of-life improvement.

Crossbow Expert:

A top choice. Allows close-range sneak attacks with crossbows and increases sneak attack damage at all ranges. A powerful and thematic option.

Additional Powerful Feats:

Lucky:

Provides three Luck Points per long rest, allowing for rerolls on attacks, ability checks, and saving throws. A universally beneficial feat.
