Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Class vs Character Levels and Magic

It is very alarming to hear the lead systems designer basically say everyone needs Fireball sooner.

Fireball is probably the best example of an iconic power that exists to reward single class dedication. The reason to go single class in the first place. The last power you should readily hand out because it's so cool. It won't be so cool anymore if every Bard 4 / Wizard 1 has it.

If the lead systems designer doesn't get that WotC should put their foot down and educate them. Probably Larian have a contract that allows them to mess things up as they want though.

Turning Wizard into a dip 1 -class would be something I wouldn't be able to recover from anymore. Probably the liberal scroll use already is when we start seeing stuff like a late game Karlach unleashing her scroll arsenal of Disintegrates and Greater Invisibility to beat a tough encounter.
