What Is — Fantastical Multiverse
A unified, sourcebook‑respectful expansion of lineages, species, and sub‑species for Baldur’s Gate 3.
Fantastical Multiverse is a comprehensive race compendium that brings lineages, species, and sub‑species from across the D&D multiverse into Baldur’s Gate 3. It adheres closely to official 5E and 5. 5E rulesets; including Tasha’s Origin Ruling, modernized trait spellcasting, and species‑appropriate dialogue tags; While adapting each race to BG3’s mechanics, visuals, and engine limitations.
The goal is simple: expand character creation with lore‑aligned options that feel native to Faerûn, while giving players the freedom to recreate their tabletop characters, explore new origins, or experience BG3 through entirely new cultural lenses.
This version includes 2 Lineages, 24 Species, and 9 Sub‑Species, plus an extensive suite of cosmetic options for full character customization.
Project Scope
Fantastical Multiverse focuses on faithful, rules‑aligned implementation of playable species across official and third‑party D&D settings.
