Abilities
Upon release of the full game, racial choices will no longer be tied to specific ability score bonuses. Each character will get a +2 and +1 bonus to spend on whatever ability stat they would like, regardless of race.
Consequently, this means that the non-ability score traits and racial features are vitally important selecting the appropriate build. Moreover, you won’t be as restricted to certain races when min-maxing by only being able to select a specific race for optimal ability score.
Racial Features:
- Base Racial Speed trait
- The distance a race can travel per turn. For most races, including Humans, that distance in 9 meters.
Sub-Races
There are no sub-races for Humans.
Best Builds for Humans
What humanity might lack in innate connection to the mystic arts or an inherited ability to see in the dark, they more than make up for with the Ability bonuses. It enables them to learn and be skilled at just about any class or sub-class there is in the game.
Fighter
The human race complements the Fighter class exceptionally well due to its flexible ability score increase. You should distribute ability score points to prioritize Strength or Dexterity for offense, Constitution for increased durability, and consider taking the “Great Weapon Master” or “Sharpshooter” feat to maximize damage output.
Cleric
Humans can make versatile and effective Clerics by emphasizing Wisdom for spellcasting. You should prioritize Wisdom for increased spell effectiveness, and consider the “War Caster” or “Healer” feat to enhance spellcasting in combat or improve healing abilities.
Wizard

Bard
Humans can make charismatic and talented Bards by focusing on increasing Charisma for spellcasting and performance. Prioritize Charisma, and consider taking the “Lucky” or “Actor” feat to enhance versatility or boost social interactions.
Conclusion
The human race in Baldur’s Gate 3 offers players a versatile and adaptable option for character creation. With their balanced ability score increase and bonus feat, humans can excel in various classes and playstyles.
