Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player discovers why beloved Bard can\u2019t write her eulogy song alone Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has pointed out that fan-favorite Bard Alfira\u2019s stats leave a lot to be desired given her class and personal goals. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is filled with great characters, from its Origin characters and potential companions to its villains. Beyond its main cast, though, there are some great NPCs that many players wish they could spend more time with. One of these breakout characters is Alfira, a tiefling Bard that players can meet early on at the Emerald Grove as part of a group of refugees. There are various ways Alfira\u2019s story can go depending on your choices, but most players will first encounter her as she\u2019s struggling to write a song dedicated to her late teacher. It\u2019s a tall order, one that certainly comes with a lot of emotional hurdles, but one player has uncovered another reason why Alfira may be having so much trouble. Note, spoilers for Alfira\u2019s quest to follow. Alfira\u2019s stats are pretty terrible for a Bard in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 As pointed out by Reddit user ppppssrlm, Alfira\u2019s stats don\u2019t make a whole lot of sense for a Bard build. As they put it \u201cno wonder she can\u2019t finish her song.\u201d Alfira\u2019s stat block shows she has fairly evenly distributed skills, with everything being either a 10 or 12 \u2013 with the exception of her Intelligence, which sits at an impressive 16. Unfortunately for her, the Bard\u2019s primary stat \u2013 which impacts their spellcasting and overall utility \u2013 is Charisma. In fact, many Bard builds in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and Dungeons & Dragons pick INT as the dump stat since it often doesn\u2019t come up for the class. Based on Alfira\u2019s stats, she would only get a +3 bonus to Performance checks \u2013 and that\u2019s assuming she has Proficiency in the skill. Considering the player needs to roll a 15 and a 10 in Performance to help her write her teacher\u2019s eulogy, it\u2019s no wonder why she\u2019d need some help. Ultimately, should the player succeed, Alfira writes \u201cThe Weeping Dawn,\u201d which is easily one of the prettiest songs in a game full of excellent music. However, while many Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players wish Alfira could become a companion, it seems she needs to do some more training (and respeccing) before she\u2019s ready to take her show on the road.
