D&D's lead rules designer admits he changed some spells because of how 'painful' and 'excruciating to cast' they were in Baldur's Gate 3
  • I'm not saying "True Strike shouldn't exist". I'm saying as it is, it's incredibly underbalanced and not worth spending two turns to cast one spell.

    I'm all for build diversity, but if you want to guarantee your big spells land (you can still miss with advantage, btw) you might as well pick Divination Wizard and use a Portent. If someone wanted to use this cantrip and I was DMing, I'd adjust it to be more accessible.

  • True strike is also a concentration spell, which means you can't use any other concentration spells and you have a chance to waste it if someone hits you.

    It's also "advantage on one attack roll", meaning it has no effect on spell saving throws like Fireball, Ray of Frost, etc.

    There's just a huge opportunity cost of taking it when you only get a few cantrips for the whole game

    edit: Here are all the specific conditions for it

  • Games that stuck with you
  • I don't believe they will, the team who made World is making Wilds. But I speculate that the "super move on a timer" style of attacks might make a return.

    I'm hoping to see some switch skills anyway. Rage slash was so much fun.

  • That seems like a really healthy opinion, lol. My most used weapon is sword and shield, and watching the gameplay change from base World->Iceborne->Rise has been like going from a Penny Farthing to a modern racing bike. I'm not super happy with how dominant the wire bugs are for armoring through moves and ignoring attacks but I'm optimistic that Wilds will do something different with them.

    What kind of quests have disappeared from the new games?

  • Which Monster Hunter game did you start with? I like listening to old players gripe about how MH:W ruined the series for them. I haven't played any others but it was an awesome game for me.
