BG3 Party Role Planner

Choose four party roles and see which common functions your current setup may be missing.

This is a planning aid, not a tier list. BG3 classes can cover multiple roles.

Choose roles for your four party slots.

What the roles mean

Frontline absorbs pressure and occupies enemies. Single-target damage removes priority targets. Area/control handles groups or limits movement. Healing/support keeps the team functioning. Utility/skills covers exploration, dialogue and non-combat checks.

How to use the result

A missing category is not automatically a bad party. BG3 classes can cover several jobs at once. Use the result as a prompt to ask whether the missing function is genuinely causing problems in your current party.

Example workflow

  1. Assign the primary role for each party slot.
  2. Check the gaps.
  3. Open Party Composition or a class build page for the missing role.
  4. Re-run the planner after changing a class, companion or multiclass split.

Do not chase perfect symmetry

A party does not need one dedicated character for every category. One Cleric can cover support and control; one Rogue can cover utility and damage. The useful question is whether your actual encounters expose a weakness.
