Avenger is one of the three class kits available to druids in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. Through intense training and rituals, these druids are able to take on three unique forms exclusive to their kit.
In addition to their normal druid spells, six wizard spells also appear in their spellbook as if they were priest spells: Chromatic Orb, Web, Lightning Bolt, Improved Invisibility, Chaos and Chain Lightning. They can cast these while wearing armor and also profit from more spellslots by higher Wisdom. Unlike the wizard spell, Avenger's Chain Lightning also ignores magic resistance. Additionally, Avengers gain more shapeshifting options than normal druids.
These rituals have drained the druid physically, which results in having Strength and Constitution reduced by 2 points when the player creates a new character and they can only wear leather armor.

- Prime Requisites for Dual-Classing: Humans require a minimum of 15 in Wisdom and Charisma and 17 in Strength to dual-class into a fighter. Since human Avengers start with a maximum of 16 Strength, they will need to improve their Strength by 1 point permanently before being eligible to dual-class.
Note: For the information of this table the human race was used, because they have no character bonunes/penalties related to race and therefore act like a 'neutral'. For other races this may be slightly different. See Ability Scores for more information.
