Cut and unimplemented content: Difference between revisions

'''Baldur's Gate 3''' had a long develompent with many features that were cut or reimagined. Most of what you see here is '''not canon'''.

==Removed Content==

===Act II===

{{SpoilerBoxLite|

* The [[Aylin/Cut content|Nightsong]] was completely different as well as the entire Act 2. Click on the 'Show Content' button to load the page.|{{:Aylin/Cut content}}{{clear}}}}

* [[Isobel]] was supposed to have been killed by [[Balthazar]], and Aylin was framed for her murder. Ketheric turned Aylin into Nightsong as an act of revenge. A century later, Ketheric tasked Balthazar with bringing Isobel back. This ritual also bound Isobel's life to Ketheric, sharing his immortality with her. If Ketheric was killed before unthethering Isobel from him, they would both go to the afterlife.

==Unimplimented Spells==

Some spells were at one point in development considered to be included in the game but ultimately were cut. The icons for them are present in the game files.

The following sections are '''''recreations''''' based on [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_System_Reference_Document.pdf D&D 5th edition SRD]. Some stats were modified to make them feel more like the versions that would work in the game, such as changing spell duration of "1 hour" to "until long rest", as Larian did with other similar spells.

| name =Magic Jar

| level =6

| school =Necromancy

| ritual =

| class learns at level 11 = Wizard

| summary =It lets you posess a humanoid and control their body as your own.

You can attempt to possess any humanoid that you can see within 100 feet of your jar. The target must make a [[Charisma]] [[saving throw]]. Upon success, this creature's soul is stuck in the jar and you have full control of their body.

Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the creature, though you retain your {{Ability|Intelligence}}, {{Ability|Wisdom}}, and {{Ability|Charisma}} scores. You retain the benefit of your own class features. If the target has any class levels, you can't use any of its class features.

{{Prereq|Can only be used outside of combat.}}

| this is an example = yes

| class learns at level 5 =Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard, Warlock

| summary =It lets you remove any magical effects from a creature or an object.

| description =Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any [[List of 3rd level spells|Level 3 spell]] or lower on the target ends. For each [[List of 3rd level spells|Level 4 spell]] or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a successful check, the spell ends.

| higher levels = [[Spells#Upcasting|Upcast]]: You automatically end the effects of a spell on the target if the spell's level is equal to or less than the level of the spell slot you used.

| description =You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface.

Choose one type of a creature: [[elemental]]s, [[fiend]]s, or [[undead]].  

The chosen creature type can’t willingly enter the cylinder, has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within, targets within can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by this creature type.  

When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.

| variants =Magic Circle: Elemental, Magic Circle: Fiend, Magic Circle: Undead

* Game files suggest in BG3 version the spell would work on only one creature type at a time, and celestials and fey are missing from that list. In 5e the spell says "Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead."

| class learns at level 1 =Bard, Wizard, Knowledge Domain

| summary =This spell lets you learn everyting about a magic item or magic effects on a creature.

| description =You choose one object. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them. You learn whether any spells are affecting the object and what they are. If the object was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it.

If you select a creature instead, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it.

| notes =* In BG3 you learn all stats of an item by default and all effects affecting a creature can be seen in the examine window, making this spell useless in BG3, which is probably why it was cut.

| summary =This spell lets you create an invisible magical spying eye to safely scout around.

| description =You create an invisible, magical eye within range that hovers in the air until long rest.

You mentally receive visual information from the eye, which has normal vision and darkvision out to 30 feet.  

You can move the eye up to 30 feet in any direction. There is no limit to how far away from you the eye can move. A solid barrier blocks the eye's movement, but the eye can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch in diameter.

| range m = 9

| range ft = 30

| higher levels =

| notes =* This may sound similar to the [[Scrying Eye]] NPC in Baldur's Gate 3, however the Scrying Eye is actually a result of another 5e spell - [https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/scrying Scrying], which is quite differently implemented in BG3, as the Scrying's orb can only be seen with see invisibility and it is invulnerable to damage and only can be destroyed by Dispel Magic (or a similar effect).
