You actually can't.

I'd invite you to try, in an articulate, reasoned and sensible fashion, giving back up to what you have to say and explanations for your impressions. Please - it might help some of us understand your apparent loathing of this thing that you don't really know anything about, by your own admission.

Because smart Alek, I said I knew nothing about the rules of TT D&D. After three playtest run throughs of Early Access BG3 and testing the combat system thoroughly, I know all I need to know about the Sorcery system and how restrictive it is, and how it makes Wizards paper Tigers. There's a reason almost every other game in existence uses the Mana system for magic. If you want a reasoned, articulate and sensible expansion on my feelings, go do some research into my posts regarding the combat system as a whole, and how in its current state it falls short of what should be acceptable to ship with. Franky I could not care less what the rules of D&D are, I only care that the game I stupidly paid a premium price for is released with a combat system that is fit for purpose. Right now it is not.

Which game do you think has the best magic system? Can you give us a couple of examples, please?
