Patch 3
5e is a barebones mess of a system and ive not seen it been runw ithout houserules yet. Even those that thought they were running it RAW accidently put in stuff from earlier editions like charging or other ways in which critical hits work.
Amen. 5e purist are the biggest danger to BG3 at the moment, let's hope Larian filters their noise out.
Is "purist" disparaging?
I envision a purist as an angelic creature, dressed in flowing robes and glowing with a soft golden radiance, and speaking with an almost musical cadence of vocal tones which please the ear. The 5E Purist waves a hand over the freshly minted D&D tomes, and with poise and charm intones the rules which are scribed therein for the good of the flock, so that our adventurers may roll the dice of fate and test their mettle. Ahhh, the purist speaks soothe ... except regarding 5E Bards which are totally broken.
Let's face it I don't even have to comment really you awesome guys said it all for me regarding this matter..But I will, because that's me. All I want Is pickpocketting sorted out personally as I'm a live by the rules, works in finance boring life kinda guy so i want to rob, steal and maim in a game. lets face it, three days later your busy vendor is not going to remember a half elf guy who stole a sword off him because: (A) We all know if elves existed they would be bred out of existence within a few years as they are hotter than humans, so many half elves would exist. (B) This just ruined yet another run for me which is getting very annoying when I have got away with stealing orginally," Meh, it is EA " I tell myself and laugh whilst internally combusting. (C) Remember you are Larian and have a large fan base anyway who want a Larian game where we can do such things. Purists will still buy it anyway as they love a moan.
Conclusively, as i like that word. STOP trying to hypothetically speaking please Richard known as Dick the Lock to his mates who wears a wig and hat at the table on Tuesday nights arguing with his mate Oscar the Ogre cause last time the die fell off the table resulting in the cat needing surgery after swallowing it, Dicks angry as he likes his own way so is insistant that it landed on a 16 when it was extracted by the Vetenary Surgeon after she dropped it in an instrument tray, but couldn't have his Iphone on in case it interfered with electronics..Just carry on going down your own path..It's based on DND guys, note the word based, Oh and rember it's EA too some people
