Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Withers Casts Wish: Modular Challenge Modifier System Concept

Speak with Withers to activate and combine as many modifiers as you want for a custom gameplay challenge:

Withers Wish: Challenge Rating+
Increased enemy HP, AC, +2 to all Physical Attacks

Withers Wish: Sturdy
Increased enemy resistances and damage types

Withers Wish: Thief Catcher
Much more difficult pickpocketing with swift and severe punishment for being caught

Withers Wish: Famine
Resources are harder to find and the cost to long rest is increased with each Act

Withers Wish: Exhaustion
Exhaustion level increases by distance travelled with each level adding a new exhaustion effect until a long rest

These are just some quick examples with fun flavor (inspired by the Pact of Punishment in Hades) but any version of the system could be a nice addition. It could also work on top of a harder base difficulty to add even more long term replay value.
