A Baldur’s Gate 3 and wrestling fan has thanked the game’s developers for allowing him to create a viable wrestler.
Strategy is key in Baldur’s Gate 3’s cerebral turn-based combat. There are a ton of ways to exploit the game’s mechanics to make all kinds of builds work.
With the right approach, skilled players can complete the game’s highest difficulty with its worst fate. It’s about carefully managing Baldur’s Gate 3’s many RPG systems to do what works for you.
For Reddit user u/Dya_Ria, Larian’s approach to gameplay achieved something he said other games have failed to do. Making a wrestling character viable.

Baldur’s Gate 3 borrows a lot of mechanics from tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, but its lack of grappling action might leave some players perplexed by u/Dya_Ria’s assertion. Don’t worry, they explain.
They highlight various throwing moves and methods for increasing throwing damage that give these moves more utility. Added to this are the options for spectacular elbow drops from the Wildheart Barbarian and Druid classes.
To be fair, wrestling has had its hold on Baldur’s Gate 3 since its launch. One of the first one-shot strategies was affectionately called ‘Owlbear from the top rope’ and it’s something.
The ability to combine all of these elements into a character that focuses solely on taking down enemies in their own little ring has captivated u/Dya_Ria. They praised Larian for creating a system where creating a wrestling character is “not only possible, but optimal.”
Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly aimed at those who are ready to battle it out and one can only imagine the potential role-playing opportunities.
Honestly, the way u/Dya_Ria talks about some of these moves makes us want to try our own wrestler build.
