Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General LIst of changes to 5e rules? (and more)

Is there a master list of changes to 5e so we can keep up? For example, I think weapon damage is being changed from (as an example) d6+3 to d9 as I am inflicting 1 HP damage using a d6+3 weapon.

Is there any way to see our to hit and damage numbers?

If you hover over the words in the combat log, there is a pop-up that breaks down the dice rolls. So you can see all the info you need there.

I confess, never having played anything with 5e, I am getting a bit lost sometimes. I know the 3.5e pretty well, so keep making assumptions that turn out to be wrong.

The place I am missing info is in the spells though. Their descriptions are awful - we need to know things like duration and effects before casting them. (Durations can mostly be seen by the effect they generate, hovering over the status indicator, but this is not true for all spells.)

Weapon damage has not been changed as far as I can tell, you're probably attacking something with resistance to your damage type (the Imps in the intro for example).

Also no, there is no "master list of changes" available as far as I can tell.

The combat log can be popped out in the bottom right of your screen and will give you access to some numbers
