The rule changes described on this page and [[D&D 5e Rule Changes|related pages]] are written with the assumption the reader understands the relevant D&D 5e rule. These pages will not explain what the D&D 5e rule is, only what the changed or altered BG3 rule is. 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 OneD&D rule or other playtest material from D&D 5e, that is considered a rule change from D&D 5e. | The rule changes described on this page and [[D&D 5e Rule Changes|related pages]] are written with the assumption the reader understands the relevant D&D 5e rule.
