Civil Militia is a Race Feature in Baldur's Gate 3. Civil Militia is a racial feature available to Half-Elf and Human, which grants them proficiency with diverse weapons and armors. Features provide unique abilities that are inherent to a Character's Race, Class, Background selected. These may vary greatly, from allowing you to equip certain Weapons or pieces of Armor with Proficiency, to add your Proficiency Bonus to certain Saving Throws.

People are really sleeping on this trait. It gives light armor and shields to wizards and sorcerers for free without having to multiclass. A +1 armor is arguably even better than Mage Armor as you don't have to burn a level 1 spell slot.

Civil Militia is just a mess; it kinda forces you to either pick a class that grants the same/more options (making CM redundant) or ignore this feature entirely when making a character (which makes it pointless).
I really can't picture a character that wants to use a shield, a two-handed polearm, AND light armour.
(I know, spears are technically versatile, but they don't scale off DEX, so :P)
At least you can still cast mage armour on someone holding a shield for 15 AC + dex mod...
It'd be cool if it granted a bonus when next to an ally with a shield or something (because shields + spears + friends = win).

I had a really interesting build planned out with this racial trait in mind. Than it turned out it does not include tridents which ruined everything. **** this trait.

Its pretty mediocre from an optimization standpoint, but at least it means gale can use light armor/shield without dipping into other classes or spending a feat

It's very, VERY good for NOT dragon sorcerer. Forgot mage armor, you got +1 free spell and +1 spell slot. In additional, you can wear shield instead of glove that give +2 AC (if you not wear armor and shield).Take another without losing bonuses, lol.
