* [[War Caster]] ignores the requirement to be a spell caster. Taking this feat does not enhance your ability to cast spells without a free hand, as spell components (i.e. verbal, somatic, material) are not included as a game mechanic. Additionally, while the 5e version of this feat allows you to cast any available single-target spell as an {{SmallIcon|Attack_Of_Opportunity_Icon.png|link=Attack_of_Opportunity}} [[Attack of Opportunity]], the BG3 version of this feat explicitly only allows you to cast {{SmallIcon|Shocking_Grasp_Icon.png|link=Shocking_Grasp}}[[Shocking Grasp]], though this is independent of whether you know this spell or have it readied, and does not require or consume a spell slot to do so. In contrast to 5e rules, since BG3 allows all characters to use spell [[Scrolls]], regardless of character class, even non-casting classes may benefit from the feat granting [[Advantage|{{Advantage}}]] on [[Saving Throw|Saving Throws]] to maintain {{Concentration}}, when such spells are cast from scrolls.
