Other rule changes can be found on their [[D&D 5e Rule Changes|related pages]]. | ||
The rule changes described on this and related pages are written with the assumption the reader understands the relevant D&D 5e rule. As such, these pages will only explain what has changed from the original D&D 5e rules. These pages also include many BG3 features and abilities that are unchanged from D&D 5e, to help a D&D 5e player quickly see which options have changed and which have not, and make decisions without having to do additional research. If the BG3 rule aligns with a rule from the 2024 5e revision or other material from future playtests, that is considered a rule change from D&D 5e. | The rule changes described on this and related pages are written with the assumption the reader understands the relevant D&D 5e rule.

** While the 5e version of this feat only allows choosing first-level spells at the time of feat selection, BG3 allows learning any of the six ritual spells available in the game, including the third-level [[Speak with Dead]] spell. | ** While the 5e version of this feat only allows choosing first-level spells at the time of feat selection, BG3 allows learning any of the six ritual spells available in the game, including the third-level [[Speak with Dead]] spell. | ||
* [[Savage Attacker]] is not limited to one roll per turn. It also applies to extra damage dice added by features such as [[Divine Smite]], which was not the intended behaviour in 5e, as clarified in the ''Sage Advice Compendium''. | * [[Savage Attacker]] is not limited to one roll per turn.

* [[Sentinel]] does not allow an {{SAI|Opportunity Attack}} against enemies who use [[Disengage]] before moving out of melee range, as in 5e.

* [[Sharpshooter]] ignores penalties due to [[High Ground Rules]] (a mechanic unique to BG3), rather than ignoring penalties due to attacking at long range (despite this mechanic also being present in BG3). The ability to ignore half and three-quarters cover is also not included, as BG3 does not include a cover system. | * [[Sharpshooter]] ignores penalties due to [[High Ground Rules]] (a mechanic unique to BG3), rather than ignoring penalties due to attacking at long range (despite this mechanic also being present in BG3).
