Baldur’s Gate 3 is firmly rooted in the rules of fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons, but it also diverges from its source material in a lot of key regards. Not every concept that works for tabletop would be as effective in video game form, so choosing what’s essential and what would just generate its own problems is an essential part of translation. Some cut rules and concepts just wouldn’t have had much place in the game, but there’s a select variety that would have the potential to completely break Baldur’s Gate 3.
