Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Mega-threads and Guides Differences and Similarities between BG3 and D&D5e core ruleset.

That they did not do that, shows that they have not much respect for the 5e system and they just want to do their own thing, and they see the 5e brand just as a marketing asset.

They are using the names from the D&D rules, but what the stuff does in their game has not much in common with it.

When they would be honest, they would change the class system. Then you would be able to choose between the following classes:

• Pit Shover
• High Ground Jumper
• Magic Missile Spammer
• Backstabber

I guess then everyone would have a better idea how to build characters and what each character's purpose is in combat.

More D&D less goofus D&D please.. Wizards should NOT learn clerics spells that is lore breaking.

I vote against the thread creators intention. Please don't limit your creativity and what you could possibly create by adherences to a restricting rule system.

Folks, the "any class learn any spell" is a FEATURE of the Divinity engine. Swen is proud of it, it will not be changing.

Characters simply can either learn all spells, or no spells. I'm surprised you're surprised.

While that may be a thing for Divinity, that is not Forgotten Realms.

What's the point of a Class based system???

why even play a game if you don't want to play the game's rules?

would you join a club of any sort just so you could tell them to change everything they do to suit you?

no, you join clubs that already have interests that suit you. You join them to take part in the already existing community.

your attitude is PRECISELY WHY games like BG3 exist.

So much "oh, pretty, good stuff" back patting by the cheerleading squad while the people looking for the actual game are getting ignored.

So you can roll a battlemaster fighter with tons of scrolls so you can have the best of both worlds.

Please cut out the snarkiness. You ought to be able to make your point without being confrontational.

oh I totally agree with you, but the reason is that this game is built on Divinity first, not D&D. This is Divinity: Forgotten Realms (DOS3). people have REFUSED to acknowledge this for months, despite it's seeming appearance.

Honestly I’m kind of upset, but I knew this was going to happen. But I kind of want to turn that energy into learning how to mod this game. Might as well fully embrace it, and perhaps later we can set up a seminar to teach the community how the engine actually works.

My first order of business is to see if it’s possible to mod in subclasses that don’t normally exist like Solasta’s Greenmage.

I know I asked this before, but I don't have Solasta. If you have the definition of the class, im sure it could be attempted.
