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

Noble Information

  • Minthara, a possible party member and one of thre three Goblin leaders in the Goblin Camp, has this background.

Noble Skill Proficiencies

    • Here are some of the ones I've found so far that are not currently listed or mentioned in other comments:

      ACT II
      Noble Feline - Speak with the lordly cat at Last Light.
      An Iron Fist - Execute the goblins. (The ones facing trial in Moonrise Towers)
      Favour for a Favour - Wake Art for Counsellor Florrick and the Flaming Fist.
      Patrician of the Grove - Recruit Halsin. (I got this upon him joining my party for the first time)

      I'll add more as I find them :)

        Entitled - Earn a title for your deeds.

        I got this by helping Soverign Spaw. I assume Druids can also attain this via helping Kagha to defeat the Shadow Druids (As she bestows a title on you if you do that as a Druid)

        • Anonymous

          Noblesse Oblige can be attained by interrupting Lae'zel and talking to the "Teeth-ling" (Zorru) about the location of the Githyanki in her stead.

          (Doing so will also gain approval from Shadowheart, Wyll and Karlach. I'm uncertain about how Gale or Astarion respond to this action)

          • Anonymous

            Eldritch Authority - You can get this by constantly using the Illithid Wisdom option in conversations about 7 times going through all the dream sequences until the narrator states that you are "Becoming", you'll get the inspiration and the next time you have option to use the Illithid conversation line it will have the tag [True Soul] instead.

            • Anonymous

              Know Your Place. Play a Lolth-Sworn Drow and force Dhorn (dude petrified by spectator in underdark) to abandon his quest and hand over memory shard.
