Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Do you make "builds" or "characters"?

I usually minmax since I like to play on the higher difficulty settings. But even from a RP standpoint, it doesn't make sense to me that my Assassin is not good at killing things. Therefore RPwise he SHOULD be good at killing things.
Same for any other role in the game. Why would a Wizard be bad at casting spells? Why would a Fighter be bad at fighting?
