Thanks to D&D Beyond, the popular WoTC website housing all your online character sheets, you can now play the main six Baldur’s Gate 3 companions for yourself.

Currently, there are character sheets for Astarion, Gale, Lae’zel, Shadowheart, Wyll, and Karlach. They each come with a PDF of their builds, from HP, stats, attacks, skills, and a brief description of their background and personality.

Some of the characters have been altered a little to represent a more balanced build, for example, Astarion doesn’t have the typical bonuses you would get if bitten by a vampire, which can also result in the end of your character in a normal D&D campaign. There’s always the possibility to add it in yourself as these character sheets are purely a guideline.

It’s worth noting that each character sheet also presents the Baldur’s Gate 3 companions at level 1. So if you are playing at a higher level you may need to alter the sheets. They’re still a great place to start however and are ideal if you want to create or play in a campaign set in the narrative of Baldur’s Gate 3.
