First thing that comes to mind after hearing about this barbarian is teaming up with a halfling/gnome druid so you can chuck the light manlet with maximum range behind enemy lines and then he can immediately shapeshift into a bear to go maul enemy wizards.

Doesn't have to be a druid:

Sure, but that's the beauty of the druid! A fat ass dwarf wearing plate armor is heavy, and even the burliest of barbarians will only get mediocre range with one. A gnome in leather armor is no different from a football that suddenly explodes into a bear at the end!

I... see your point.

Anyway, not only we had ultra low level chars adventuring into the underdark, using barrelmancy to kill a fire dragon fleeing a mindflayer spelljammer ship, carrying ancient Netherese magical nukes, meeting archdruids and helping then with dangerous enemies, but also this lv 1~4 chars will find the Necronomicon. A book which every high level necromancer or evil cleric wanna have. There are more epic artifacts in this game's chapter 1 than in WoTR, a game where you can reach lv 40.

It feels like the saturday morning D&D Cartoon where on the first episode they go against fucking Tiamat or some shit.

I would kill for a low level D&D adventure where the stakes starts low but goes higher and higher into level 6-7, this feels like you are landing on a full speed treadmill.

Absolutely disgusting Asian erasure from the bigots at Larian!

psion or kineticist

These abominations are better not included at all. With Fighter, Mage, Cleric and Thief, the game already has what D&D needs.

Why is Dragon Age still the only game to get spell slots right? I don't want to keep scrolling to find the spell I want to use, I want all the slots to be in front of me like this:

The Paladin, more than any other class, shall arrive when it's most needed.

Im really excited about this game, I am looking forward to full release when I can play it

 

[Thac0]

I hate Larian so much.
Reading the patchnotes, an improvised weapon with more than 10kg weight does 2d4 damage. Thats 5 average. The best one-handed nonmagical weapon is a longsword with 1d8. Thats 4,5.
The strongest sword and board fighter uses a shield and a 10kg tableleg as his main weapon before magic items.
As you can wield enemies as improvised weapons now, which also deals damage to them, wielding a Goblin as an improvised weapon is likely the best in slot sword for a one handed sword and board warrior.

It is like they entered a contract with Asmodeus that for every new good thing a patch brings (Barbarian looks deecent) they have to introduce something that is solely there to give Grognards a brain aneurysm.

Yep. Vox Machina. I read a bit of their wiki and OMG. Pronouns in character sheets... D&D used to have titles for high level chars, now they have pronouns.

That is

"Noooo, you can't have cool magical objects in a low level D&D campaign"

Of course you can give Netherese magical nukes and the Necronomicon to a lv 1 wizard. But that makes absolutely ZERO sense. Do you have an idea about how much high and even epic level Red Wizards of Thay are attempting to get such artifacts? Getting an incomplete copy of a copy of few necronomicon pages is should be near impossible for low level PC's.

 

[Delterius]

they are giving fricking nukes to level 1 frogs

i wonder if thats an exaggeration

No, is not.

"A Netherese Destruction Orb beats in his chest, counting down to an explosion that can level a city" https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Gale

Yes, this lv 1 wizard have a magical nuke from the ancient times that mortals could cast true godlike tier 10/11/12 magic and affect deities. And guess what. There are people theorizing that Gale is Karsus.
