Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Githyanki Mage Hand should be removed or fixed

Agreed, obviously... I really don't get why Larian was so adamant to "upgrade" cantrips to make them more exciting, or something. In 5e, they mostly are intended to be the basic attcks of casters, plus a bit of utility other classes get from their respective abilities and skills. I mean, they didn't go and make bows and swords "more interesting", did they? Rogues don't get the innate ability to throw alchemist's fire, they throw knives or shoot bows... why do mages shoot their basic ranged attacks with an "added effect"? Doesn't make sense...
