Notable changes

  • Heavy Armor doesn't have a Str requirement. Yet another indication that Larian doesn't really understand Heavy Armor in 5e or the purpose of restrictions. This, combined with the lack of multiclassing restrictions, will further enable the "Wizard in Heavy Armor" build.
  • Verbal, Somatic, and Material components are ignored. Presumable casters can cast everything while their hands are full then?? Both this and the above imply that other restrictions like "monks can't use martial arts while wielding a shield" will be ignored.
  • The Frightened condition prevents you from moving. Assuming this is all it does, it is a good change from earlier EA versions that made you flee while frightened, losing your actions.
  • Dodge is not present, but Monk's Patient Defense (you can dodge as a bonus action) is???
  • Becoming prone during your turn automatically ends your turn. Still terrible. This is legacy code from DOS2 that Larian never changed for D&D.
