Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback stick with the 5e monster stat blocks

*yawn, cracks open eye* another one..... bloody purists spreading their hate mongering, pointing fingers, what we need is a circle of trust, maybe a tree of 'this is not DOS' 'Black isle is gone so you'll never get another BG game like BG1, or BG2. So we now switched to monster stat blocks.... bloody fascists... sooo monster stats, and CR in 5e what to say.. what to say shots already been fired, on both sides.

A tiny bespeckled gnome, with a wild mop of frizzy grey hair dons his monkey suit, holds up The Almighty 5e core rulebook. 'Ahem, Ahem. does it not stipulate in the rule books that they are general guides? I do believe they do, also it has been stated by WoTC on several medias that they are so. That it is up to the DM in this case Larian Studios who is currently leasing the rights, and respective licenses to D&D 5e to adjust the rules as they see necassary, or as the feel there is something lacking to convey the story they wish to tell. Furthermore as is standard for such contracts WoTC has the right to revoke said contract if they feel their system is being abused, one would feel that in the case of this redundant, oft brought up arguement, that if WoTC who is without a doubt closely watching (if not actively involved) many of the updates, and also getting reports, checking progress etc feels that larian studios the current leaser of aforementioned licenses, and rights. Note leased, not bought, feels that Larian is breeching the contract by creating another DOS game under the false pretense of using 5e rules, that they would immediatly revoke said leases, and seek a new game developer to produce BG3."

*adjust his tiny round spectacles* "Oh my, oh dear where was I, oh yes rules, legal actions, my word the notion of using purist as an insult how barbariac, completely uncivilized. Oh yes goblins, filthy nasty things. I would have to sadly agree with this vile heretical purist that every goblin would not be carrying such things about, in truth this is do to the fact they breed far faster then rabbits, and die just as quickly. Vile things that they are, yet if they are backed by other forces as seems to be the case. Armed by drow, and powerful cleric, even a demigod or some such nonsense then I can see where they would be better equipped then your standard run of the mill goblin. Dear I really shouldn't say this, the very thought is unconcievable, attrocious, ridiculous that with this strange creature aiding them, their even is a chance that their are smart goblins... Oh dear I need a drink, I feel faint." *wipes sweat from his brow, looking rather pale, and unnerved even.*

"Furthermore I conclude that according to the Law of 5e, that this is indeed a D&D campaign DM'd by the hive mind at of Larian, subclan of Studio, for which Swen is the active ruler. That the changes within this video Campaign, are to add affects, to adjust for the descrepencies inherient in going from Quill and Parchment, to the gnomish inventions called PC's, were in things need to be adjusted where High Paladin Swen cannot actively control the game, as those in Quill and Parchment also labeled as DM can. As from my notes this is still an Early Access and High Paladin Swen and his hive mind has stated that they are seeking a balance, seeking things that don't seem to be working, or needs to be changed, obliterated, smashed, crushed!!" *rage suffixes the tiny gnome his voice booming out as he vehenmently pounds the Tome of 5e at the last words, before looking rather emberrassed.* "Oh dear sorry I had a moment, just one second. Oh hencefore I politely ask the herd to refrain from accusations based on assumptions about a as of yet unfinished work, and to simply stop the this is DoS comments. Instead focus on what you feel is wrong, after all that is why we I do so hope why we got the game. To make it better, to offer our insight, and suggestions. Well unless your trolls, tadpoles, orges, orcs, or the aforementioned sheep. Yes Yes I'm done here." *scurries off his podium, the Holy book of 5e clutched firmly under his arm.*
