I think it's because of all the liberties taken with the 5e combat system, and the insane items in the game. Currently my level 4 wizzard has 10 str, 14 dex, 16 stam, 18 int 14 wis 14 char. Combine that with 21 ac all self casted buffs, and a spell level 1 spell that does 6d4 +3 damage, or level 2 8d4 + 4 damage, and can't miss. I melt everything, and take very little damage. Not to mention I can heal, give my group +5 max hp permanent, and cast any spell I can find.

All in all I don't think the balance is there yet. Some things are really op. That not including exploits, or bugs in the game just optimal building for a wizzard.



The greatest problem is " I think it's because of all the liberties taken with the 5e combat system, and the insane items in the game."

The problem with this type of itemization is, what about classes who can't find those items?

And note that D&D is great cuz your power is in your char, not on stat stickie gear.

If you got a Vorpal sword on chapter 2, or you are extremely lucky or good. Either way, vorpal weapons can OHK powerful enemies. But deal with his ludicrous good AC, hit him and then trigger the vorpal effect is extremely unlikely...


Who said you had to fight him in chapter 2 ? and why are you trying to hard to compete on the best way to kill a boss in a 20 years old game?


Because this 20 yo game is the best RPG ever made. BG3 is good? Yes. Is good as BG2? Nope. The unique aspect which seems superior to BG2 is enemy AI.
