Larian Studios absolutely cooked with Baldur’s Gate 3 on launch with its large list of playable classes and subclasses. While there are even more subclasses on the way with the official release of Patch 8, modders are constantly working on their own additions as well.
With the new Baularian Warforged mod, Baldur’s Gate 3 players can now play as a more recent race from Dungeons and Dragons. Introduced in the Eberron campaign back in 2004, the Warforged race are living, sentient, fantastical robots that offer a brand-new way to play.
Baldurian Warforged comes to Baldur’s Gate 3
Available right here on Nexus Mods, modder Mirrismods added the living machines to Larian’s RPG with their own look, skills and more.
In the BG3 mod, the Warforged class comes with two class abilities. Constructed Resilience makes it so that your character cannot be put to sleep and is completely immune to all disease. Additionally, the class’ Integrated Protection skill gives you a permanent +1 to Armour Class and another +2 to Constitution.
As a race that isn’t native to Faerun, it wouldn’t have made sense to see a load of Warforged characters in the main campaign. However, with the addition of other constructs in the game powered by Mind Flayer tadpoles (is that a spoiler now?) it could’ve been vaguely interesting to see a construct party member interact with that.
With cracked mod tools releasing in recent months, Baldur’s Gate 3 players are not just creating custom classes anymore. In fact, players are now working on entirely custom campaigns with some based on World of Warcraft and others returning to areas from past games with their own custom companions.
