Long-time players of the Dungeon and Dragons tabletop RPG will recognize the Shillelagh spell as one of the best starter spells a low-hit point caster can have at the early beginnings of sessions. In Baldur’s Gate 3, Shillelagh is a cantrip-level spell for Druids that can give them an edge when forced into melee combat.
The spells bestow magic upon a staff or club, increasing its damage and allowing the caster’s spell-casting modifier to be used with attack rolls instead of strength or dexterity. Even at later acts of Baldur’s Gate 3, Shillelagh can prove to be useful to stack damage on top of equipped weapons. 10 Feather Fall
