Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

BTW I wasn't kidding about being able to throw your allies during combat. Swen said that's possible too, if the throwing character has enough strength.

Maybe swen should try and throw a normal person and see how far it will fly.

I can throw a small child, and I have 8 strength AT BEST, so I fail to see why an experienced adventurer with 17 strength shouldn't be able to throw a halfling.

And there is a halfling companion??? You being 8str clearly show since you have no idea how much a 50-80 kg is,and how hard is to throw a human.

Does the throwing person have 20 STR?

How pumped is that in real world ? Even fairly strong people would have problem throwing a grown man,let alone with all his equipment and backpack. Also it depends what do see as successful throw distance. You could throw a person,maybe a meter to three if very strong and he very skinny.

Actually, I am outdated. Apparently 20 STR in 5e is "human upper limit", and monsters have kool 30 STR upper limit.

Bah! So let's make it 25 STR and you can throw an average person but not very far.

Ahhh yes that is my point. A big fat nigger threw a skinny midget a meter.

I very well know how much 80 kg are. I would like not to know it, but unfortunately I do.

I don't know if there is going to be a halfling companion, but If the gith girl can throw one around, I'm definitely going to play a halfling MC. Not-hobbits on average weigh less than 20 kg, and people throw 25 kg for sport.

20 strength should be the highest possible strength ever achievable by humankind. Not "a fairly strong person", but literally the strongest person that will ever exist in the entire history of our race. There are very few ways to obtain an higher score, and the easiest of them is reaching level 20 as a barbarian.

 

[BarbequeMasta]

Well Larian does want you to play a big fat nigger apprently.

 

[underground nymph]

You can throw healing potions at allies to heal them btw

Why throw potions, when you can throw your allies. Throw your halfling rogue behind the enemy lines.

Nobody tosses a dwarf!

LoL that 20 score is meaningless when put in real world,as the rest of the D&D system. The strongest man is not a mythical best lol,it is very strong man,fuck even his to hit chance/damage is +2 compared to your generic soldier . That said even the strongest people on earth will have problems thrwoing a full grown man with 40kg of equipment more than 3-5 meters. And those people look like beasts,not a scrawny nose hook porn actress. It would be nice if there is a game that affects your portrait based on your stats.

Yeah allright.

I was excommunicated from my group of roleplay nerds in high school, because it somewhat bored me, and I found it hilarious and just wanted to watch movies and eat snacks and occasionally tell the DM some lulsy stuff. Still got my little bag of dice.. kek.

Playing SLA industries was kind of cool, though.

In 5e, 20 Str means you can deadlift 600lb and carry it all day, but it drops your speed to 5ft per round (this weight is doubled if you're a Goliath or Bear Totem Barbarian, or halved if you're a Gnome or Halfling).

Spoiler

Kind of dumb, but RPG designers tend to be weak nerds so you can't expect them to understand how a Str score should work

That is retarded lol. So you get to go around with a quarter ton but you do +1/2 damage on a roll lol. Nerd's stupidity and insecurity complexes are cancer to society,they should be whipped off!

No warrior is 10 in str lol,everyone dumps their power stat. The game allows for 16 as starter,thus a +2 in difference.

Keep in mind that a 1lb from 5e is not the same as 1lb in the real world. Check out the weighs of some items or coins to compare. It's just an abstract number in the PnP

Oh well if you're talking about 20 STR vs 16 STR, a 16 STR character can still farmer-carry 480lb all day.

Some items are fairly close to real-world weights, some aren't anywhere close to realistic, true. I don't know that I'd call it "abstract" though, just inaccurate.

Fair enough, abstract is a poor choice of word. But still, I believe the fact that some items weigh close to their real counterparts is pure coincidence, rather than conscious design. The conscious design is: "give the players a system to monitor weight, realism be damned". This isn't bad in any way, save for the fact that they used the misleading "lb" marker, instead of something broader, like perhaps "encumberance point" of WFRP fame.

Todd wouldn't do that gay shit.

Wow I get to pick between a worst Gith piece of roast beef or a lying evil cleric piece of roast beef. Great game.
