I'm playing it with a group and it's funny that it basically replicates the problems of 5e combat but faster where you wait for your turn and miss then have to wait again.

im owning myself by running a melee group and they sure do gently caress all other than just swing at poo poo

e: to be fair i also just was refusing to do a long rest for as long as possible lol

forgotten realms has some kind of anti-worldbuilding thing going on where every possible feature of the setting has been designed to be as nonsense as possible

somehow feels like a cross between the theme park feeling of skyrim and the extreme need for violence towards nonheroes and cartoony villainy as 24

they should take some of the abilities off wizards and put them on the other classes id say

just bizarre to me that you have characters that have a grab bag of completely random incoherent poo poo to draw from that ranges from "talk to runic bricks" to "ten turns of irresistible CC because a magical fish is slithering up their uethra" while other classes get "would you like to roll 1d20 or 1d19+1 to attack" on levelup

i understand it is a d&d Thing but its probably part of the reason people make fun of d&d all the time

e: also vanican magic is dumb. stop encouraging naps.

not used to the awesome dndisms in bg3 like, an aoe that disarms you and makes your entire party run for two rounds, as just a thing someone can do instantly after dashing all the way across the map into a teleport into a spell

at level 7, fooling around with multiclass poo poo in bg3 which seems like a lot of ways to make really terrible characters

i made the rogue elf a rogue/monk and since i found gloves that makes his dex 18 i just made that his dump stat so his statline is nice for being what it is

i hope theres nothing in dnd that specifically steals gloves.

im sure theres other fun combos but that was the most obvious one i thought of

elminster also founded the harpers who are my personal pick for most obnoxious organization in forgotten realms

i am very happy that within twenty minutes of being brought to the harper inn, every single harper was dead by my actions

Having never read a forgotten realms novels or whatever and having no exposure to him, he seemed inoffensive in the game. A typical rear end in a top hat wizard, which I consider kind of a fun character type

the way religion works in dnd seems to be in service of enabling 1. people acting in insane ways, 2. setting contrivances, 3. violent sports team rivalries without the sports, and 4. racism

priests can create food and water

wizards also i think

a post-scarcity magic society is possible but all the wizards are assholes they are all libertarians

someone should tell the gnolls this so they can stop eating all the middle class refugees wandering in the woods that kill

in dnd you say?

its different when all the gods are very active and have evidence of their existence and instead of worshipping all of them polythestic style you go, no i will worship the god of porch lights and all other gods are Wrong and their followers must die

it’s so stupid. I hate it. almost every fantasy world is like that too. nerds trying to figure out fake societies while completely whiffing on the basic concept of polytheism.

im just endlessly amused by the whole, we want a setting with full plate but no guns, and where 80%+ of the population is urban, and the major groups are explicitly apolitical terrorist cells / insanely well equipped neighborhood watches with a flat hierarchy and anyone that does any actual trade exists to loving die, thing
