Baldur’s Gate 3 is an RPG that does wonders to introduce players to the genre and the world of Dungeons and Dragons due to its mechanics. However, some things aren’t as intuitive as one might think. One of the things that players struggle with is skills and how to add them to the hotbar. If you remove a few by mistake, it can be stressful to know how to put them back on. If this happened to you, don’t fret because here we’ll tell you how to equip skills in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t tell you how to equip skills in the hotbar, and it can be a bit annoying for some. While the game shows you most of the mechanics, equipping skills can be a hassle at times, especially for those who don’t know how to do it. Thankfully, we’ll tell you here what you must do to move and equip skills in the game.

  • Press the “K” key to open your Spellbook. 
    • Here, you’ll find all your class-specific spells and skills and your weapon skills, which change depending on what you have equipped.
  • Select the class tab or the common tab, depending on the skill you want.
  • Drag the skill or spell to your hotbar.

That is everything you must do to equip skills in Baldur’s Gate 3. As mentioned, the game doesn’t say this explicitly, and moving or equipping new skills can be hard. Most of the skills you get from items or by leveling up are added automatically to your hotbar. You can filter everything by clicking on the tabs below your hotbar and switching from common skills to class-specific ones and even items. Mastering this will let you organize everything faster and defeat your foes with the abilities you want to use.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
