Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Fire Bolt's damage

I'm pretty sure Fire bolt should be 1d10 instead of the 1d6 of damage it has at the moment. I mean, if you compare with ray of frost, why would you even bother. 1d6 damage or 1d8 damage that also slows ?

Use the research function it has been discussed A LOT.

Firebolt leaves a fire surface that deals 1d4, the spell deals a total of 1d6+1d4 making it better than a 1d10, the problem is the majority of people (me included) don't want it to leave an elemental surface as it makes it too strong and feels too much like DoS2.

Yup, it has been discussed to death at this point. But the thing that baffles me: Why are they trying to reinvent the wheel? If you want to adapt 5e and make BG3, just do it. Stop trying to shoehorn DOS2 elements into the game and just make a D&D based video game.
