The release dates for Baldur’s Gate 3 are on the horizon, so it only makes sense for fans of the franchise to theorycraft their character builds. Some may already have every feature of their character mapped out during Baldur's Gate 3's early access run. At the core of these builds is the character class, and for players who want to engage in ranged combat, the ranger may be a good choice. While this class’ strength lies in its ability to take down enemies from afar, it also offers different advantages in combat and role-playing, depending on the player’s chosen subclass and favored enemy.
