Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Problem with racial weapon/armor proficiencies

Extra weapon proficiencies from racial abilities does not matter. 9 times out of 10, characters that would want to use those weapons - will already have them from their class. And for those that dont - they rather be spending their action on a cantrip or spell. Especially bad for dwarfs with their stength based hammer and axe proficiencies.

Armor fares a bit better, but wizard/sorceror that dont have armor proficiency - eventually will switch to a robe with powerful bonus to their spells, like a Potent Robe. Only human/half elf shield proficieny is good here. And somehow SHIELD dwarfs are not proficient with SHIELDS by default. What.

So, i suggest the following:
-If your race has an armor/weapon proficiency AND you play as a class that gets that proficiency as well - you get +1ac for those armor types (shields dont count) and +1 to hit with those weapon types.

Also nerf githyanki. Dont know how, but do it.
