Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Drow - no dancing lights bug?

As the title suggests. I noticed the half-drow still gets the cantrip, but drow seemed to have lost it. Is this a bug or did they remove it?

Do they definitely not have the cantrip? IIRC in early access they had it, but it didn't show up in character creation. Though it's some time since I created a drow so I may be mistaken.

Also, moving this question to the Help subforum where I think it fits better.

They do indeed not get it. I too played the EA and was puzzled, but have confirmation from others as well as seeing a mod on Nexus that put it back. The two times I made a drow it was not available for use once in game and was always a game start ability. Even before I added any mods. And thanks for the move, just wasn't sure if it was General or other.

I suspect this was an effort to balance the drow racial abilities, but it makes no sense.

My drow character also does not have it. I didn't notice the absence until he was able to cast Faerie Fire!

Agreed. I mean, unless they improved dancing lights in some manner that I'm not aware of, it is a minor illumination effect.
