Gale with a wizard in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It is no secret that Baldur's Gate 3's immense success has led to another boom in Dungeons & Dragons' popularity. It uses the same basic rules, after all, being based on the tabletop RPG's fifth edition, known for being the simplest edition to date. Despite this, 5e was built for the tabletop, so Larian Studios chose to make changes to the rules in order for it to properly function as a CRPG title.

9 Don't Take Limited Short Rests It's There Because BG3's A Video Game Close Short rests are fundamentally different between BG3 and D&D. For BG3 there is no day-night cycle, nor is there an active passing of time. Time only passes when Tav and the crew bunker down for the night, and the short rests keep them going until they are in dire need of sleep.

BG3 also introduced instant death to certain chasms, allowing players to shove enemies to their doom. The downside to this, which stops it from being the go-to method, is that the body cannot be looted, but this is a better system than 5e's fall damage. D&D's fall damage caps out at 20d6, which is odd since it means that some players with enough health could survive a 200ft drop, and said drop doesn't get any more dangerous past 200ft.

By allowing players to go at the same time, it allows one to take an action together with another character. For instance, if a player soaks an area with water, another player can freeze that area to make the terrain difficult for enemies to traverse. This can also apply to enemies, as they can work in tandem to bring a new, tactical edge to the game. One could take an action, wait for another to take their entire turn, then use their bonus action.

There are several forms of revival in DnD, each with varying levels of power. In BG3, all revival is done with the revivify spell, but it cannot be used on NPCs, only player characters. 3 Don't Take BG3's Crafting System Table Tops Aren't Video Games Close Baldur's Gate 3's alchemy crafting system seems to be a carryover from Larian's last title, Divinity: Original Sin 2. Although it adds an extra layer to a video game, and is welcome, if uncommonly used, it isn't at all necessary for the tabletop.
