The latest round of rule changes coming to Dungeons & Dragons were partly inspired by the experience of playing Baldur’s Gate 3, the game’s creator Wizards of the Coast has revealed.
If you’re a D&D player like me, you’ll likely find the new 25-minute video on changes made within the game’s 2024 Player’s Handbook an interesting watch, as the game’s lead designer Jeremy Crawford sets out some impactful tweaks to the way many fan-favourite spells operate.
D&D updating its rules is nothing new, of course, but what was surprising to hear was that the experience of playing Baldur’s Gate 3 directly prompted some of these rule changes – including to spells such as Cloud of Daggers and Produce Flame.
