After more thought I'm now convinced it's some ridiculously OP crafting system that allows you to make bombs from a piece of string and some plant that grows everywhere. Or combine potions to make some inane haste+heal+bless aoe bombs.
Surely the crafting system of 5e needs to be fixed since it's not broken.
Didn't Larian state that they would keep crafting very tame in the past?
The point of these posts is to passive aggressively throw shade on Swen and Larian. Don’t take them at face value.
