Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Since when Drow

can walk on the surface without penalty?

what happened to :

Sunlight Sensitivity: While in sunlight, the drow has disadvantage on Attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

one may also ask how in the hells a 1 or even party of 4 drows got kidnap in baldur's gate.

Since it's tadpoled.

you forgot we got kidnaped in full daylight inthe city of Baldur's gate

it's not like the ship made a jump in Menzoberranzan and kidnap 4 drows

Drow on the surface is EXTREMLY RARE

Disadvantages don't hurt this much as being a vampire. Beside, we don't know when PC was really kidnapped. It could sit in the pod for a while.

Well I expect this to go away in Tasha's Cauldron. Seems most "negative effects" are being removed from classes... so I guess that's why?
I really don't see why they shouldn't have it in BG3, considering "surface dwellers" get the same in the dark.

First
it was not Baldur's Gate
I don't remember exactly where but it is to the east of Baldur's Gate

Second
The intro did not give us the full scenario of what happened
it was just the end
and there was already a Githyanki from the beginning of the intro

when you talk with people you often get the [BADLURIANS] choice

BECAUSE we are BALDURIANS(from the city of baldur) duh



are we playing the same game ?

You know, people travel. We don't know when and from where we were really taken. More curious fact is why there are so many dead mindflayers. If they are divided and fighting each other, it would be nice plot twist.

But you don't if you are Drow.

Alright I thought you were talking about the intro so I apologize
but about Drow(or Githyanki), you do not get Baldurians options(tags) if I am not mistaken
and if you still get them, then it is most likely an unintended implementation because they talked about it before and how all custom characters are Baldurians except if you roll a Drow ar a Githyanki

interesting.

I agree the Drow would get significant penalties in daylight. The illithids have a huge presence in the underdark so it is quite realistic that Drow are being kidnapped by them. Probably easier for the illithids to kidnap Drow tbh.

So we won't meet other drow without a tadpole on the surface?

Not in EA.

This is kinda ridiculous. 1) Tadpole 2) many people picked up in city other than BG. Nothing to indicate you were one of them. Maybe you and Minthara were yanked from underdark.

Except Illithids and Drow have a long history of cooperation (allying would be too strong a word.) It would be quite unusual for Illithids to take a drow as a slave or host for their parasites. Not unheard of, but very unusual because while the Illithids consider themselves superior to all other races, they 1) consider drow to be closer to being on equal terms than other races are and 2) they fear drow reprisal.

oh we do , but not on the surface, yeah

Minthara never got yanked, she was not infested by a tadpole the same way we were.

Well, it is inconsistent there.

You know this? Source? I agree she wasn't on our ship, but others, earlier?

Daylight adaptation is actually a thing.
