A level cap in any game limits the power players can reach. This mod increases the level cap to 20 for all classes. Players will need to find the fastest way to level up to reach the new level cap. The mod also works in multiplayer, but all players need to use the same mods and load order.

UnlockLevelCurve supports multi-classing and 5e Spells. Mutli-classing allows players to combine two different classes for a combined number of levels, not surpassing 20. It's important to remember that this mod only affects the main character and companions and does not alter any enemies.

While Baldur's Gate 3 was designed around a four-character party size, some may opt to remove the limit. Party Limit Begone does as its name implies and even applies to multiplayer. The NPC party limit is increased to sixteen, while the multiplayer limit is increased to eight, but getting more than five players is tricky.

The modder recommends players use Hamachi's LAN mode to host lobbies larger than five players. There are a few caveats to using this mod; it has a few known bugs for players to be aware of. Despite the hassle, Party Limit Begone can be a great motivation for fans to replay the game with a large party of friends or a whopping sixteen NPCs.
