Haunted One is a Background in Baldur's Gate 3 unique to the Dark Urge. Backgrounds are special traits or expertise that affect the starting Proficiencies the player has and also add two bonus background features. Backgrounds may also decide how your character is treated by certain NPCs, and how can they handle certain situations.

Haunted One Information

  • A wicked moment, person, or thing that cannot be slain by sword or spell haunts your mind and flickers in your peripheral vision. You carry it wherever your adventure takes you - or perhaps it carries you.

Haunted One Skill Proficiencies

  • Intimidation Proficiency: Add your proficiency bonus to any roll made with Intimidation.
  • Medicine Proficiency: Add your proficiency bonus to any roll made with Medicine.

Haunted One Background Goals

  • When a character performs an action that's true to their Background, they will be Inspired. Earning +1 Inspiration Point and +25 Exp. Inspiration may be spent to reroll an Ability Check. Not only your character can become Inspired, but also your Companions.
  • You may hold up to 4 Inspiration points at once. Inspiration earned over the cap will become Experience Points.
