Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Director is open to a level 13-20 experience: \u201cIt\u2019s not undoable\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 caps out at level 12 owing to its reliance on D&D 5E\u2019s ruleset, but we could see level 20 at some capacity in the future. Director Swen Vincke said that incorporating levels 13-20 is certainly achievable. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s near-faithful incorporation of D&D 5E\u2019s rules is at the heart of what has made it so beloved by players. It allows for viral shenanigans like one-shotting bosses with capitalism or accidentally murdering your companions in the pursuit of love. Those rules are not always hard and fast, however, and Larian will bend them in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 for the sake of transferring the tabletop to the video game. One of the primary examples of that is the institution of the level 12 cap to keep things somewhat grounded. In a video interview on the D&D YouTube channel, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Director Swen Vincke was asked about how the cap would impact DLC in the game if they were unable to set a new cap. Vincke replied that it would not be impossible to bring levels 13-20 of D&D into a game. Swen Vincke on levels 13-20 in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 In D&D 5E, level 12 is when the power scaling ramps up significantly in terms of the abilities and especially the spells that players have access to. Larian has been open about the potential difficulty that this brings to development. Despite that, Vincke did say that while a new level cap isn\u2019t necessarily on the cards, DLC is not out of the question. \u201cWell you could do different things in it (DLC) so it doesn\u2019t have to be necessarily at the end of the game,\u201d Vincke explained. \u201cThere\u2019s different ways that you can do that.\u201d In regards to the potential for a level 13-20 experience, Vincke said it was definitely possible, but it would be \u201ca different game\u201d. \u201cYou\u2019d need different stakes, different environments, different protagonists, and antagonists but it\u2019s not undoable,\u201d he asserted. Interestingly enough, in that same interview, Vincke revealed he had already moved on to \u201cthe next game\u201d for Larian Studios. Could a fully functional D&D campaign be in the works for the developer? The possibility of wielding the godlike power that becomes available to certain classes in their level 20 D&D incarnations is a tantalizing one. However, the potential wait does dampen the hype a little. Our Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 guides certainly won\u2019t let you brandish the power of a god but they\u2019re definitely handy.
