Baldur’s Gate 3is a deep CRPG harkening back to many older games, and its roots inDungeons & Dragons. This means you’re able to expect deep customization of your character’s build and statistics. Players looking to make their character a rogue or heavily use Astarion should keep an eye out for light armor and weapons to stay quick on their feet. One particularly good piece of gear for rogues is the Drow Studded Leather Armor. This stylish light armorclosely resembles Minthara’s gearand gives a +1 Stealth modifier to its wearer. You can find it relatively early in Act 1 ofBaldur’s Gate 3.
