Baldur’s Gate 3 restricts your leveling well before the official Dungeons and Dragons level cap, and while the game has valid reasons for this decision, a new mod now offers the opportunity to surpass this limit purely for the sake of wanting to. This modification, created by ‘Elmwick,’ allows you to elevate your character up to level 30, extending far beyond the boundaries set by Baldur’s Gate 3 and Wizards of the Coast.
The practicality of this extended leveling experience is questionable—it may not be balanced, fair, or even coherent within the game’s context. However, the mod introduces an element of fun, enabling you to focus on a single class or multiclass 18 levels beyond the base game. Accompanied by our Baldur’s Gate 3 leveling guide, we can assist you in navigating through these additional levels.
To reach level 30, you’ll need 610,000 XP, approximately three times the amount required to reach the Larian cap of 12. To accommodate this, all experience gains have been doubled, and combat now provides triple the standard XP. Beyond level 21, every class gains a feat with each level, and base stats increase, providing ample incentive to embark on a Sword Coast adventure with this mod.
Larian CEO Swen Vincke has previously explained the level 12 cap in BG3, citing the overwhelming power of DnD spells beyond that point. While the mod does not include these game-breaking spells from levels 20 to 30, it allows for continuous leveling, offering a satisfying progression experience.
