The Sorlock is one of the best charisma-based multiclass in Baldur’s Gate 3, as it can use warlock spells slots to create sorcery points and recover said slots on a short rest. However, the build isn’t without its intricacies, so here is a guide on its ideal stats and spells.
Best Sorcerer Warlock Build in Baldur’s Gate 3
Having your main character as a Charisma-based class has its advantages; mainly, because they’ll be doing most of the talking. However, you Sorlock won’t just be the face of the party, but also the main damage dealer.
This guide focuses on Eldritch Blast as a primary damage source, so you must build all the other class features around that. You can use Quickened Metamagic to cast Eldritch Blast several times a turn, as dipping intoFighterandRoguewill give you extra actions.
To maximize the damage, you will have to find gear that lowers the number needed to score a Critical Hit.

Best Race for a Sorlock in BG3
I chose my Sorlock to be aHalf-Elf Drow. This gave me shield proficiencies and Drow Magic, which interested me to get the spellDarknessat level five. There’s the option of choosing the Eldritch Invocation “Devil’s Eyes”, which allows you to see through your spell of Darkness and shoot enemies with advantage from within the shadows.
Best Stats for Sorlock in BG3
Charisma is your main priority. After that, you will need some points in Constitution and Dexterity. You can dump Strength and Intelligence, but I would keep some Wisdom to save against mind-controlling spells, and to have a decent Perception. When you’ve finished creating your character, your stats should look something like this:

Sorlock Leveling Guide - BG3
The approach should be turning all your spell slots into sorcery points, save a few slots level 3 to cast Haste, and a few slots level 1 to cast Hex — though never simultaneously because one would break concentration on the other.
During fights, use the first bonus action of the fight to cast Hex on an enemy. With sorcery points you can quicken you Eldritch Blast and use the extra bonus action from Thief and the Action Surge from Fighter to cast it four times in a turn.
You can drink a Potion of Speed or have an ally cast Haste on you for one more attack, as you will need your concentration for Hex most of the time. Finally, drink anElixirof Bloodlust to gain extra actions after killing enemies.
Alternative progression for Sorlock in BG3
If you would like to have more spells, you may sacrifice the Rogue dip and the additional bonus action in exchange for two more levels ofWarlockand one more level of Fighter.
This will give you two more Feats, from which you can take another score improvement and take Charisma to 20, and take Spell Sniper for the Eldritch Blast and reduce the number needed to roll a Critical Hit by 1 (this stacks with Champion’s Improved Critical Hit).
