Halfling
Halfling is another good choice if you want to roll Ranger in Baldur's Gate 3, especially with Lightfoot Halfling subrace.

- Lucky: when you throw 1 for an attack roll, ability check or saving throw you can reroll the dice and must use the new roll;
- Lightfoot Halfling: the Naturally Stealthy ability ensures your hero's proficiency in concealment, giving you an advantage during Stealth Checks, and +1 to Charisma.
