    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 will now be releasing August 3rd on PC and September 6th on PS5, increased level cap, race & class details and more

    That actually makes sense! The funny thing is that the Turkish translation keeps the same order, but the alphabetic order in Turkish would obviously be different, so it made no sense to me the first time I saw it.

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    Hmm. I'd keep everyone's primary class anyway (I'll probably go the Assassin/Gloomstalker/Fighter route for Astarion, and I would've done that earlier had I known), so that seems fine. Time to turn Shadowheart into... Lightheart?

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    Respeccing doesn't break any personal quests right? I've been meaning to respec Shadowheart into Light Cleric, and I might as well optimise everyone while I'm at it. Then again, I have like 500 gold due to having a massive spellbook addiction, so I might pick and choose who I respec...

    Twelve strength? TWELVE STRENGTH? This is the guy who had 18/93 Strength in BG 1 and 2! NINETHY THIRD PERCENTILE! WHAT WERE THEY SMOKING? And I was wondering if they would respec him into Barbarian (since he basically had a worse version of Rage at a time when Barbarians weren't a thing), and...

    How Old Were You When You Played Your First TTRPG?

    I discovered TTRPGs in middle school through Sword & Sorcery's Warcraft RPG, but since I had nobody around me interested in trying it, the only thing I could do was read the books for a good while. I started playing when I was 15 (so this is 2010), as a DM, running 3.5. through an MSN Messenger...

    Oh dear, I still haven't finished going through all CRPG soundtracks to add them to my collection of playlists, and then you plop this on my lap!

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    You know what? That's fair. I haven't multiclassed anybody and I try not to cheese things too much, and perhaps compared to optimised options, Cleric and single-class Rogue fall off. Absolutely agreed. I haven't gotten Minsc yet, but I feel like the legacy characters should've stayed as...

    Damnit, now I have to have both Jaheira and Halsin in my party. I had promised myself I would finish the first run without any mods, but I am this close to installing the party size increase mod...

    What's your processor? We have the same graphics card, and I was able to run Act 1 and 2 with pretty high settings. Though with Act 3, I'm also down to Medium...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Offers A Free Baldur's Gate Gazetteer

    I'd be 100% behind this. I kinda dislike Spelljamming and the NEO soundtracks since most of the songs have lyrics, which doesn't make them good background music for games. I wish Wizards would produce something like the original D&D soundtrack made by Midnight Syndicate... That soundtrack formed...

    To be fair, they did create a soundtrack for Spelljammer, and it was pretty nice. The Magic side of WotC also does this from time to time, since they made a special soundtrack for the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set.

    This is the post you were talking about, yes? I see no mention of DiA here. Though some people seem to be bringing up the Pinkertons lol The D&D Beyond claim page may mention DiA, I'm not sure. But even then, if DiA is a tie-in product, why aren't you bringing it up in your social media post...

    D&D 5E (2014) Poll: Which Official Adventures Have You Run or Played in To Completion?

    Do we count anthology books as completed if you only played through every single adventure in the book? In any case, I sadly only experience LMoP and PotA all the way to the end (both times as players). The first time I ever DM'd 5E was for Out of the Abyss, and I had read the book from start...

    Sir, this is Cleric slander. A full caster that can plop down not only Spiritual Weapon (a Bonus Action summon whose damage output is too high for its spell level because "it's an iconic spell"), but also Guiding Bolt (another busted spell for iconological reasons), Spirit Guardians (which is...

    Except that's for the free gazetteer they released, and it doesn't mention DiA in the slightest. And we all knew about the gazetteer, since... We're discussing this in the thread about it. But this is precisely the problem. It's clear that they're half-arseing tie-ins, because it's only digital...

    D&D 5E (2024) Baldur's Gate 3: List of Mechanical Differences from 5e (need assistance to fill the list)

    To add on this, high/low ground does not give dis/advantage but a flat bonus/penalty (I think it gave dis/advantage in EA so that's why the OP might have thought so). You can tell that's the case because attacking from high ground is not enough to trigger Sneak Attack for Rogues.

    I mean, nobody's questioning whether you enjoyed the starter set or DiA. But it's a simple fact from a business standpoint that these products are not utilising the brand synergy to their fullest potential. And they could without relative difficulty. Admitting this does not mean that your...

    Honestly, it was dumb that a spell called DAYLIGHT did not count as sunlight. It always counted as sunlight in my tables.
