Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback View Character Skill Proficiencies

I can't seem to find a way to view what skills characters are proficient in when navigating the menu. Either it's not on the Character sheet at all, or I can't find it.

If it's not there, I would request that Proficiencies be added to the character sheet, so we can find it easily. If it's there, and I just can't find it, then there should be a more intuitive way of finding each character's proficiencies in the menu. Preferably on the character sheet.

I have been trying to find this also. The only thing I could find was when you get more proficiencies upon level up it reminds you of the ones you have already but I would really like to be able to see them more easily in game.

i don't know if that's what you looking for, but if you go to character sheet (N) you can click drop down arrows to see your class and race proficiencies

Yes. that is what I was looking for. Thank you for telling me where to find it. I had looked all over that page trying to find proficiencies, but didn't think to try the drop down arrow under the abilities. I

To the Developers: I'll add that this is not a convenient or intuitive way of listing a character's proficiencies to me. It's almost like its hidden. Of course, I can only speak for myself on this. But I'd rather proficiencies be grouped together, separately from abilities. Possibly as "Skills and Proficiencies", or "Skill Bonuses", if you scroll down a little further down on the "Character Sheet" Panel. It would be nice to have all the proficiencies grouped together in one easy to find place, rather than split up in different drop down menus throughout the character sheet. As it stands now, I would have to already have to know ahead of time that the "Nature" skill is an intelligence skill in order to think to check under the Intelligence drop down menu. I think the way you have it would not be as accessible for a player not experienced enough in 5E to understand how that works.... I am experienced in 5e, and I still couldn't find it.

Thank you for listening to my feedback. Good luck in developing an amazing game. It's a lot of fun, and really addictive so far!

Did you guys find where it shows the saving throws atributes? I looked everywhere and could find them. I think the character sheet need improvment to show more clearer the traits and abilities, i dont like the whole "tags" idea

character sheet really should show at a minimum everything the pnp one does - if I was larian that would be my starting point, look at the list of things shown there, and make sure each of them are displayed on the character screen.

You know the digital character sheet from DnD beyonds character creator?
that thing is freaking glorious. Optimize it a little for the game (like you dont need that inventory there etc) and you would have a perfectly clear character sheet. That one was already optimized, why try to reinvent the wheel? just take it...

I have not found Saving Throws anywhere. I know what they *should* be, because I'm familiar with 5e. But that should not be a prerequisite.

I don't understand the "Tags" thing at all. I'd say trash that, and put the items in there in a way that makes more sense. Like how D&D Beyond does it.

I also agree that the character sheet does not need an Inventory Panel, when there's already a dedicated Inventory page. It's redundant. That space could be utilized for more important "character sheet" type information that's woefully missing at this point. Information like proficiencies, skills, saving throws, feats, and other abilities. Just take the stuff in the "Tags" section, and break it out into where the inventory pane is on the Character Sheet.

Yeah the character sheet needs to be improved. Doesn’t display the armor/weapon/tool proficiencies, background, etc.

Yeah, definitely need to have some easy way to check proficiencies without having to check all the separate sources for these

I may be wrong, but the way I think they are handling saves/dice rolls is your proficiency bonus is added to your roll and your attributes decrease the target number. I am not opposed to it even if is markedly different, because at higher levels dice rolls get a little ridiculous. 3rd table top was particularly bad, I would constantly be given target numbers in the thirties and forties to hit at like level eight and I always felt the number creep made everything a little ridiculous.

I am guessing, but I think the plan is to keep the target numbers all on a 1-20ish scale, so early dice rolls like we are seeing now are initially rough, but later on you will be much more consistent in overcoming the challenge they present.

edit: It also makes a certain amount of sense on a practical level, your attributes show your natural propensity, if people find you naturally attractive and alluring convincing them to talk to you or help you would be easier than if they looked upon you with derision and disgust.

Click on Strength, Dexterity, ect on your character sheet. That shows you your skills. I could find it either for a while.

While that is true, it doesn't show what skills you are proficient in. You would have to decipher that on your own based on if those skills are 2 points higher than the others.

Yes. That's true. But they automatically lower the target level by whatever your proficiency is. So if I know which character has proficiency in Deception, or Nature, I might be able to plan to have that character be the one who does the interaction, making the die roll have a lower target value. Which is why it would be nice if it were easier to see what a particular character's skill proficiencies and saving throws are.

Oh okay, I thought you were trying to just calculate your odds, in which case its a flat plus 2 if you had proficiency (assuming I know what I am talking about). I didn't realize you were looking to see what proficiencies each character had individually. I don't know where that information might be, I've looked a couple times but not with any real conviction.

Agree with others. This is really hard to find... just replicate the PNP character sheet in game or something.
