Race and ancestry are the basic characteristics of your character Baldur’s Gate 3. Together with the class, these are the stats that affect playstyle and clues available. Sometimes when passing comes the realization that you were in a hurry with the choice. In this guide, we’ll see if it’s possible to replace a character’s race, origin, and class.
Baldur’s Gate 3 guides
What influences the choice of race and origin
In early access, some races gave skill check benefits, but in the release version, it was decided to abandon this mechanic. Now the choice of race affects some skills, possession of weapons and individual lines in the dialogues. For example, drow can see well in the dark and usually fight with light swords, while dwarves love axes, are immune to poison, but move more slowly.
In addition to the race, you will also have to choose a subrace. There is more impact on gameplay as individual spells or abilities will change.
Some races are better suited to certain classes. For example, drow are excellent villains, while halflings are bards. There’s nothing stopping you from turning a Dragonborn into a bard, but when creating characters it’s sometimes helpful to correlate class traits with the hero’s innate talents.
With the origin, everything is a little more complicated. You are free to choose your choice, but it will definitely affect the skills and replicas available in the dialogues. Improve your already strong points with your lineage to become an absolute master.

How to change race and origin
Officially no. You can change the class (more on that later), but you can’t change the essence of the hero. However, Baldur’s Gate 3 is packed with various solutions for even the most difficult tasks. First you can learn the Illusion spell and change your appearance for a while. For example, it helps if only halflings are allowed in a certain place.
The second option is a werewolf mask. However, it is only given to Delux Edition owners. The mask works exactly like the similar artifact from Divinity: Original Sin 2. Not only do you change your appearance, but you also gain all the abilities of a different race.
Players have no information about hairdressers yet, but their addition can be expected in the future.
How to switch classes
We have a separate detailed guide on this. Here we just say that it is possible to change class. You need to find a special character and pay him 100 gold coins. In the future, the process will be easy to implement directly in the camp. In addition, you can change the specialty and your companions. This enables you to think about the build-up and put together the optimal team.
