This page | This page describes any changes that have been made to the rules of certain [[feats]] in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' (BG3), from their original specifications in ''Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition'' (D&D 5e). Other rule changes can be found on their [[D&D 5e Rule Changes|related pages]]. | ||
The rule changes described on this | 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 OneD&D rule or other playtest material from D&D 5e, that is considered a rule change from D&D 5e. | ||

* [[Mage Slayer]] allows using your reaction to make an attack of any kind against a creature casting a spell within melee range, not just a melee weapon attack. For instance, a character with both this and [[War Caster]] can cast [[Shocking Grasp]] as a reaction to someone else casting a spell nearby. | * [[Mage Slayer]] allows using your reaction to make an attack of any kind against a creature casting a spell within melee range, not just a melee weapon attack.

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''. | ||

* [[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).
