Positioning is called using tactics.
Exactly ...
Thats why it confuses me so much that so many people around here concider it something unfair ...
Its not, you made a bad call, when you decided to simply run there ... now you made your combat a lot harder, deal with it or die. :-/
Because of CR ... Circle of the Moon should get a CR 1 form, not one like the polar bear that is CR 2.
Not to mention the fact that I prefer brown and grizzly bears to polar bears personally
I know people dont like homebrew around here ...
But in this particular case, personaly i would preffer to take statistics from CR ... and leave collor of Bear fur on roleplay background of character ... as far as i know "being white" (wich is the only difference most people can tell between Polar Bear and Grizzly bear) dont give you any tactical advantage.
//Edit:
Would actualy like if that would be the case in BG-3 aswell ...
If we would get option for some animals to actualy choose our visual separately from our statistic, wich woulf be obviously fixed.
I presume some people would have heartattack bcs its yet another deviation from rules ... but i would like it. :P
That directly compares with PC's and it doesn't make sense enemies of the same race are so much stronger, tougher, smarter and more charismatic than anyone in your party. Why does cannon fodder get godly stats when heroes have to use point buy? The heroes should be the exceptional individuals who triumph even against unfair odds.
Exactly.
With haste potions, void bulbs, poison and fire dips, and especially Shoves, it doesn't even matter if you give enemies +50hp and insane stats since they don't get a turn, or half of them are dead before they do.
This would be my guess aswell ...
If you remember, in past patches (til 4 or 5 i believe) Githyanki patrol had only around 45HP each ... almost half of their hurent pool.
But since players obliterated them too easily using exactly things you described ... Larian decided to boost them.
I mean just a two flask of Wyvern poison (wich i have allready EVERY single time i get here) makes huge difference ...
Give one to Astarion for his bow, another to Lae'zel on her sword ... then let them both drink Haste potion ... and the amound of damage they can do within single turn is ridiculous. :-/
I appreciate the stuff they did do, though. The flavorful words sprinkled throughout. Ghaik. Kainyank. Istik. Etc.
Me too ...
But would aswell if i would know what those words mean, when i play Githyanki myself. :-/
I know you usualy get it from the context ... but what is difference between Istik and Vinisk?
Would be much better if they would provide traslation like: "Ghaik (Mind Flayer) wessel fallen from the sky."
