DOS surfaces are so boring that they’ve added armor to negate its effects. That said, BG3 surfaces are even more boring and the way they implemented it add no tactical value whatsoever.
By logic: sitting in a pool of fire do less damage than trying to walk out of it. Seriously?
There’s no reliable damage in the game except condition whereas the rules says that you save for half and now there are reliable source of damage coming from cantrips which combines AoE and DoT. Seriously? Oh, and please add advantage in that cantrip chance to hit increase due to the high ground positioning.
Now, fire arrows & other surface sources like bombs and barrels are even nastier. Feels so cheap that I didn’t touch none of this items. I’d be okay not to use this items and so on, yet now I have to face enemies using that cheese items and breaking my casters concentration.
Yeah, surfaces RAW would pass. The current surfaces are boring as hell
