During your journey in Baldur’s Gate 3, you may find the need to reassess and adjust your party’s classes, races, and attributes to better face your adversaries. This guide offers an in-depth look at customizing your companions in-game.
After a three-year early access journey, Baldur’s Gate 3 received a stellar launch and even won the Game of the Year. Players are now beginning their Dungeons and Dragons quest, choosing to band together in multiplayer mode or undertake the adventure alone with A.I. companions.
With such a wide array of monsters and foes to come up against in Baldur’s Gate 3’s world, naturally, some characters will be more effective than others in certain battles, so there may come a time when you want to switch out your party members.
With that in mind, here’s exactly how to change your party in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Certain companions will be better at certain quests in Baldur’s Gate 3.
How to change your party in Baldur’s Gate 3
In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can have up to 4 active party members at a time, so if you’ve got a full party and you meet a possible teammate on your journey, you’ll have the chance to send them back to your camp where they’ll wait until you call them.
If you want to change your party in the game and switch in waiting teammates, follow the steps below:
- Travel to camp either via fast travel or by selecting the option to ‘take a long rest’ from the mini-map menu.
- After you arrive at camp, talk to any active party member and ask them to stay at camp – this will free up space in your party.
- Talk to the person you want to add to your party and you’ll have the option to invite them to join you on your quest.
- Once this is done your party will be changed!
If you ask a lower-level character to join your party, they will automatically receive an XP boost to make up for any additional experience the rest of your party has received since you last encountered them. This is a fantastic mechanic as it saves you from having to worry about grinding to get your new party member up to the same level as the rest of the group.
