Between potions becoming bonus actions, plus now being Healing Word for all classes, plus new magic items apparently giving extra bonus actions out like candy and full access to spell scrolls on top of all that it is just to much extra healing power imo. All of Larian's homebrew stacks creating something way out of proportion to the slight change it appears to be. That said BG3 is NOT a normal D&D game on far to many levels. Bonus action potions in a normal D&D game is apparently a popular homebrew and doesn't seem to break the game by itself. Personally I have more of a problem with all classes having access to all scrolls and believe it to be the bigger contributor to over all watering down of class "distinctiveness". My Op sorcerer flies and rains fireballs almost every battle. But it sure seems like it, especially since, while playing Solasta, I'm already seeing some of it. And wait til after level 5 with wizards casting major damage AOE spells. Classes have no real value.īut, if you do play with a Life Cleric - well, GG easy game everyone. The point is that what I'm seeing is the devaluing of the classes overall, so everyone can do everything and no one is really needed. It should be harder to open locks and such without them because it's important to have someone who is an expert at picking locks. I say SHOULD because I'm saying that if healers have real value, you should feel it if they are missing. Healers shouldn't be so devalued that you can easily live without them. You should have a greater challenge and have to buy more potions and use them more strategically to stay alive. The point is that if you don't have a healer - not just cleric but a healer - you should feel it. In my barbarian run, I even got close to dying at the grove gate, and Aradin and his party threw potions and healed me full up. So why would I waste my time trying to prove anything? Certainly a healer makes the game easier, but are they necessary? Is anyone necessary? No. Others have also solo'd this game using stealth and gimmicks. Killed it without a fight because it never detected him. Hah! One time I killed the Bulette by locking it into combat with everyone but Astarion - different run - and just had Astarion stealth and shoot from a distance. Stealth, janky homebrew mechanics, gimmicks. Just my fighter, Lae'zel, Gale and Astarion. Can't recall if I did EVERY encounter, but I know I at least did most. Granted, stopped at the Underdark because I got tired of it, but I did the surface. I HAVE done a run with a fighter as MC without any healer but potions. That said, I haven't done a complete run of EA without a cleric, but I have done a solo run with a barbarian up through the harpy fight without anything to heal me but potions AND only throwing and shoving. Nor am I going to waste my time proving something to others especially who aren't making the decisions. I might be mistaken sometimes and think I'm right, but I don't lie.
