** This allows a character to dual wield hand crossbows.

But as discussed above, the character gains the AC bonus of a shield equipped on your melee set even while the ranged set is actively drawn.

* "Lifeberries," a.k.a. [[Goodberry|Goodberries]] that have been buffed due to being cast by a [[Life Domain]] [[Cleric]], will only get the additional healing benefit from Disciple of Life if the same Cleric who cast the spell is also the one to consume the berry. If somebody else consumes the berry, they will just get the normal 1d4 that a goodberry gets in BG3.

* [[Fireball|Fire Ball]] blast radius reduced from 20 feet to 15 feet, this happened when the game moved from Early Access to Launch, similarly the area of effect for [[Spirit Guardians]] has been reduced.
* If a character with extra attack makes a melee or ranged weapon attack first, they may follow it up with a thrown weapon attack. However, making a thrown weapon attack first causes the game to classify it as a full throw action rather than part of the attack action, consuming your entire attack action.
