Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion A way to fix power creep and magic items, Attunement

I'm reading these forums as, "don't change 5e mechanics unless they're the 5e mechanics that actually went in and I feel are broken".

Re: Paralysis

Any attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.

Re: haste potions

When you drink this potion, you gain the effect of the haste spell for 1 minute (no concentration required). The potion’s yellow fluid is streaked with black and swirls on its own.

Note, 1 minute is a lot longer than 3 turns. I don't know why it gives a full round of attacks instead of one single one, unless it's like, a technical corner they cut.

Re: Half orc

Savage Attacks

When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.

The sword doesn't need nerfed, it's a legendary item for a reason. I can agree with the lack of caster gear. There just isn't a lot of it.
