Tomice this is not a question of Larian but a queston of WOTC.
THEY had to make those options good btu they didnt.
Larian turning them into minor actions is exactly that, buffing them
I honestly do not understand the argument that these actions are TERRIBLE in DnD and thus should also be terrible in a video game.
no. a fighter should not only hit people with his sword while a wizard does 36 different spells.
This is exactly what is the problem with class imbalance in DnD
And exactly, maneuvers, the thing any melee class should have but dont.
a fighter should indeed probably do a lot with his weapons.
but looking at any HEMA tournaments, i guess shoving and grappling are probably just as important.
and thats just from a "Realism" standpoint which i dont agree with to begin with
Ugmaro it looks like youre just looking at things to disagree wtth.
Larian was quite open with not beeing true to 5e, they said that they were gonna change things.
originally they even said that they would take out MISSING ATTACKS from the game.
Obviously they went back on that, but they never said theyd port the system 1:1
I can easily see why too. I dont play a lot of 5e but when i did, we houseruled a lot, in fact, every Dm seems to do it.
5e is a very bare bones game with tons of balance issues and i cannot imagine why anyone would be adamant to sticking to RAW when it comes to 5e.
I already find it questionable with 3.5 but im glad ToEE did what it did, but sitll.
some houseruling is basically required to run 5e in a fun way.
