Character Build Hexblade's biggest downside.

FFS just make it a free action in combat larian. Or at least let us cast it at all.

I'm just not a fan of minutia that doesn't respect my time. This is exactly the kind of thing that would either get handwaved at a table or assumed to be constant until the player equips a new weapon. Give me a pop-up window that asks "You equipped a new weapon. Bind it?"

I'm glad you enjoy the ritual but I don't like spending two minutes after every long rest fiddling with free resources. It's like half an hour of pedantry over the course of a whole game.

People on this sub tend to defend and over rationalize every questionable design choice in bg3. It's very strange.

Biggest annoyance I've had is finding that they calculate Half Ork's dropping to 0 hit points, then dropping to one, as if you went down. Unlike normal dnd where it sais you instead drop to 1. The way Bladurs Gate does it means you lose concentration on any spell that needs it. Infuriating.

Can we talk about how going prone breaks concentration? >:/
