Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Hirelings can be OP without even leaving camp Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 lets you create custom Hirelings with the power to break the game, even without putting them in your active party. Baldur\u2019s Gate has some amazing party members, with rich characterization and ongoing storylines that unfold throughout the game. Despite this, they\u2019re not really the most min-maxed group, leading to many players altering their abilities in the camp to make them better at their jobs. Those who want to play with every class and race in the game can bring in Hirelings via Withers. These are custom characters that lack any connection to the setting but give you more opportunities to play with the game mechanics. There are more uses for Hirelings than people might realize, as detailed on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit. It\u2019s possible to abuse D&D 5E\u2019s Concentration rules to create Hirelings characters with access to buffing spells that last all day, use them on the party, and keep them in the camp. \u201cHire the cleric to cast Warding Bond on your tank and soak up all the tank\u2019s damage while never leaving camp,\u201d one user wrote, \u201cBasically gives you a fifth party member to soak up damage. Also useful for casting freedom of movement and protection from poison without using a party member\u2019s spell slots.\u201d \u201cLong rest buffs, like Aid, Freedom of Movement, Protection from Poison, Death Ward, Heroes\u2019 Feast. Long strider, Warding Bond,\u201d another user wrote, \u201cAll can be cast at the start of your adventuring day and keeps them active till a long rest. Saves your primary party\u2019s spell slots. It\u2019s quite useful in HM runs.\u201d Of course, there are other uses for the more\u2026 discerning player. \u201cI use them to get access to better underwear as early as possible,\u201d one user wrote, \u201cI\u2019m fond of Gith underwear. What can I say?\u201d Keeping active buffs on your party at all times is a lifesaver in Honour Mode runs, especially if you\u2019re not burning precious spell slots to do it. If you get Hirelings to cast the spells from the camp, then they\u2019re protected from breaking Concentration, as no one can damage them, letting the effects stay active all day. You probably wouldn\u2019t want to use this tactic in other difficulty modes, as it might make the game a little too easy, but for Honor Mode players, keeping a Hireling in your camp with some powerful active spells might help you make it to the ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
