I'm convinced. Now I see the light: the best way to avoid a fight it to start one, something with zero basis in reality has no role to play in a fantasy game, I was wrong to think it would be fun to see how a chaotic or lawful PC would deal with the owl bear / baldurs gate problem. In the future I will avoid whimsy.
Everyone! Listen up. Orbax does not want us to have fun in this way. Please stop having fun and await further instructions.
