Bards are one of the most versatile classes in Baldur’s Gate 3, as they can act as great support for the party, debuff enemies, and even deal significant damage with some builds. Bards are my favorite class to play and I always find myself trying to choose which feats to take for my Bard. There are a ton of quality choices, which can be overwhelming, so here are some of the best feats for Bards in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Bard Best Feats in BG3
The first thing to consider when choosing a feat for Bards is what stats are important and what abilities can benefit them. When building a Bard, you should try to max out your Charisma, as it is their spellcasting modifier, affects skill proficiencies, and can be used in many dialogue situations. Bards should also have relatively high Dexterity and Consitution. Higher Dexterity can be especially beneficial for the College of Swords and College of Valour subclasses. High Consitution will ensure you have enough health and can maintain Concentration on spells.

Ability Score Improvements are always a great choice for a feat, especially if it’s to round out your stats to an even number. Actor is particularly great for Bards, as it is a perfect way to increase Charisma along with getting some extra proficiencies. Alert can be a solid choice too, since Bards will often be engaged in dialogue and many times combat can cause a Surprised round during dialogue.
Lucky is a good feat to have to increase your rolls (especially coupled with Bardic Inspiration), while Magic Initiate: Sorcerer is a good option if you want to take Shield to stay out of danger. War Caster can also be a good feat to have as a Bard to maintain Concentration on spells.
