The Champion subclass gives your Figther improved critical hit that stacks with other critical hit modifiers, allowing your Figther to consistently deal critical hits with the right set up.
This subclass has a more straightforward playstyle and doesn't offer any unique skills compared to the Figther's other subclasses, with most of its features functioning more like passive buffs.
The Champion becomes available once your Figther reaches Level 3. In order to earn EXP and level up in Baldur's Gate 3, players will need to complete quests, discover new areas, or defeat enemies they find in the world.

At Level 3, Champions get the Improved Critical Hit subclass feature, which improves your character's chance to deal a critical hit with weapons.

Half-Orcs' main traits centering around martial prowess make them excellent Champions, with Savage Attacks stacking with the Champion's Improved Critical Hit.
Darkvision allows a Half-Orc Batte Master to see better in dark places, and prevents it from getting penalty bonuses against enemies using the Darkness to obscure their location.
Relentless Endurance allows Half-Orc Battle Masters to survive a lethal hit once, bringing them down to 1 HP instead and offers great survivability for this subclass that thrives in close-quarter combat.
Savage Attacks causes your critical hits to roll the weapon's damage dice an additional time to add extra damage to the critical hit, further increasing your damage potential.
This stacks with the Champion's own Imrpoved Critical Hit, allowing Half-Orcs to deal high damage with their attacks.
STR | DEX | CON | INT | WIS | CHA |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
17 (+2) | 10 | 16 (+1) | 8 | 12 | 11 |
Champions should prioritize Strength as this is the stat where most of your damage will come from. Since Champions will spend most of their time fighting the frontlines equipped with Heavy Armor, 16 Constitution is necessary to get as much as HP as possible.
With Champion's centering around dealing increased critical hits, the Two-Weapon Fighting style is the ideal choice since it gives you another try to land a critical hit with your off-hand weapon.
Protection is also a good fighting style if you prefer a Champion that fights with a shield, allowing you to impose a disadvantage on the enemy's attack roll when you have a shield equipped.
