During their adventures in Baldur’s Gate 3, the party’s characters progress from level one novices to formidable level 12 adventurers. However, considering the backstories of some of the companion and Origin characters, this progression doesn’t quite align. With wizards capable of catching Mystra’s attention and 200-year-old vampires, certain BG3 Origin characters should have started at a much higher level.

Some characters should have reached higher levels than they do by the end of Baldur’s Gate 3.
