Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Mega-threads and Guides Differences and Similarities between BG3 and D&D5e core ruleset.

It’s a wizard with archery and some nature spells. It’s a weird blend of wizard/ranger/Druid. Solasta doesn’t have multiclassing and the full D&D license so I think this was their solution to fill a niche.

That sounds like it would be entirely fixed with the introduction of multi-classing... which I will be absolutely livid about if it is not eventually introduced here.

It may actually be slightly better. It’s a full wizard with bow proficiency with some nature spells ( I think they get light armor proficiency too). I think they also have some features of sharpshooter at higher level like ignoring some cover.

This is very much doable.

Well then. I guess you are right. Mods are the only way to salvage BG3 now.

Honestly I’m kind of upset, but I knew this was going to happen. But I kind of want to turn that energy into learning how to mod this game. Might as well fully embrace it, and perhaps later we can set up a seminar to teach the community how the engine actually works.

My first order of business is to see if it’s possible to mod in subclasses that don’t normally exist like Solasta’s Greenmage.

Yeah I am sadly prone to feeling resigned aswell, mostly because Larian doesn't seem to communicate much at all with us on these forums, and so we will never learn their intentions and opinions. If they never really listen to us, do you know if it's possible to mod to such an extent that you can make BG3 faithful to the PHB rules?

In fact, does anyone here know about that? To what extent does it seem likely we will be able to mod the game?

Looks like a n Eldritch Archer archetype of a Magus from PF1E.

Mods should really help to understand the consequences of our suggestions and how the game would be with small adjustments.

I'd really love to have a mod just to change the advantage from highground and backstab for a +2 to attack rolls.

This would be very constructive to think and adjust what we're talking for monthes (another exemple : locked food in combats maybe except goodberries,...).

I guess it should be really easy to do but I have 0 skills in modding^^

Yeah that's what I was suggesting in another thread.

If DnD Rebalancing gets updated for patch 4, give it a shot.
The author of that mod is also working on giving +2 AC bonus to combatants on higher ground.

I enjoyed the game much more with the mod, but didn't play since a couple months. Too busy with playing PF:K and PF:WotR 😁
Also patch 4 was lacking for me, so I will give BG3 another try with patch 5 or 6, if the party controls get improved and if the mod gets updated.

- In D&D you just have an action, bonus actions are bvery specific features you have to use wisely. In other words in D&D bonus actions are bonus actions, not a second action.
- Jump and disengage have nothing to do in D&D. One is for jump, the other is to disengage. None of them are bonus actions.
- Dip doesn't exist. In the reality of the Forgotten Realms you can't dip your sword in the fire of a candle/torch/... To create a magical fire sword.
- shove, hide and disengage are actions (with a few exceptions)
- you can't eat during combats in D&D
- those that never use magic can't use magical Scrolls
- an attack from highground doesn't give an advantage.
- an attack on your opponent's back doesn't give an advantage if he know you're in its back
- you can choose when to use your reaction
- D&D have a cover mechanic
- D&D have a better variety of actions : shove to prone, help to have advantage, dodge, ready, administrer a potion,...
- In D&D every single goblins or monster doesn't have magical stuff (arrows, potions,...)
- In D&D you can usually play from 4 to 6 characters (many campaign are designed arround 5 if I'm not wrong)
- In D&D items aren't completely WTF (healing someone never coat poison on your target's weapons)
- Time exist in D&D, such as night and meteo... not in BG3

That's a short list..
