I am still looking for someone to finally fix the Rogue base class.
Rogues consistently get the weakest rating in all class ratings. Even the strongest rogue subclasses barely reach average ratings. Thats NOT by design. The original rules intended Rogues to be on same footing as all other classes. It is because Larian screwed up the implementation of the base class.
By the original rules, Rogues can backstab once per TURN.
The problem with Larian and their descriptions is that they constantly confuse ROUND and TURN. In fact, reading Larian descriptions, you may end up having no idea what a ROUND even is. They call everything turn. I dont think they ever even mention the term round anywhere, ever.
A ROUND is the core unit of D&D, into which they split their battles. During a round, every player and every NPC and monster gets a TURN.
This means that Rogue can sneak attack once per turn, they can sneak attac once during an action or bonus action, which happends during their OWN turn, but ALSO a second time during their reaction, for their reaction does NOT occur during their own turn, but on the turn of whatever opponent triggers their reaction.
Since Larian clearly thinks turns and rounds are the same, or even think the D&D term for round would be turn, they missed this detail.
So all I want is a mod that adds the missing functionality:
Rogue: Reaction: Opportunity Attack: Sneak Attack
Which allows to sneak attack during reactions independent of the question if you have sneak attacked during your action or bonus action.
Why has nobody implemented this ? I checked all available rogue mods and nobody seems to have cared. I checked the bugfix mods and they dont offer this either. Is it actually impossible to fix base classes ?!?
To me this is the most bothersome error in BG3.
