Summary
Sorcerers are powerful, arcane spellcasters inBaldur’s Gate 3.With useful enchantments and combat spells in their arsenal, their magical abilities benefit any party. These flexible casters typically don’t wear armor as they avoid melee combat when possible. When needed, they have a few spells that provide additional AC or protection.
Robes typically come with special abilities that enhance magical classes. There aren’t any major drawbacks to casting in armor, however, so it’s up to you how you wish to outfit your sorcerer. We recommend the clothing options below for a sorcerer in Baldur’s Gate 3.
10Poisoner’s Robe
The Poisoner’s Robe is an uncommon piece of clothing found in Act 1. An early option for your sorcerer, it enhances your poison spells so you deal more damage. Simple cantrips like Acid Splash and Poison Spray become much deadlier in combat.
It also gives you the Ray of Sickness spell. While it involves a big fight with a bunch of spiders to acquire, it’s a good way to heighten your spellcasting early in the game.
Combine with the Poisoner’s Ring, Gloves, and Cloak for higher damage.
9Infernal Robe
The Infernal Robe is a very rare piece of clothing that provides Resistance to Fire Damage during Act 1. It also grants your sorcerer the Fire Shield spell at Level 4 once per long rest, providing your sorcerer with more defensive abilities.
Many players never get this robe, however, because it comes at a heavy cost. To gain this clothing item, you lose Karlach. It’s up to you if you want to pay that price.
Mizora will not reward this robe to Wyll unless Karlach is dead.
8Icebite Robe
TheIcebite Robeis one of the best sorcerer clothing options in Act 2. This rare robe gives the wearer Resistance to Cold damage. Your sorcerer will also acquire the Armour of Agathys, a spell creating spectral armor of frost. This shield spell increases your sorcerer’s survivability with five Temporary Hit Points.
This robe provides extra protection with ease, as it is similar to the Infernal Robe but doesn’t require sacrificing a party member to obtain.

The Protecty Sparkswall is rare clothing that heightens your sorcerer’s defenses. Found at the Grymforge, the Sparkswall Armour feature adds +1 to your AC and Saving Throws while you have Lightning Charges.

Various enchanted weapons or equipment give you Lightning Charges, like the Spellsparkler staff.

The Robe of Supreme Defenses is available in Act 3. As the name implies, this very rare piece of clothing increases your sorcerer’s defenses in battle. Due to the Exquisite Focus feature, when concentrating, your Spellcasting Modifier is added to all Saving throws.

4Helldusk Armour
If you want to outfit your sorcerer in strong armor, the Helldusk Armour is the way to go. Regardless of your proficiency, you can wear this heavy set. It provides both defensive and offensive abilities, making you Resistant to Fire Damage, reducing all incoming damage by three, and giving you the ability to Burn enemies when succeeding in a Saving Throw.
