Very few Divination Spells

[JackTheReaper]

Hi,
So, I was planning to play the Divination Wizard since I learnt about Baldurs Gate 3.

However, after the last post introducing the new spells that will be implemented, I found that there are no new divination Spells to be implemented.

This means that for a Divination Wizard, you are turning one of their main feats at level 6, that recovers a spells slot from previous spell leve every time that he uses a spell from a higher level up to level 6, pretty much useless.

Do you think they will introduce more divination spells in the future or will they change the way this subclass work?

Thanks in advance!!

the list is not showing all spells. those are just example of spells. so until release we don't know how many spell will actually be included

As far as I understood it, the spells posted are the new ones, apart from the ones already implemented, that will be in the 1.0 version.

Or am I missing something?

the post say the following

"New Spells Coming in 1.0
Baldur's Gate 3 will have over 600 player spells and sub-spells at launch, and that doesn't even include upcasting.

New spells coming at launch include:
the list of spells"

it say BG3 will have over 600 spells. currently in EA we only got about 150 spells. that list don't fill the remaining 450 spells. so there is another 400+ spells haven't been shown yet

Oh, then I understood it wrong.

I didn't know how many spells are currently in the game, so I thought by default that the list was just showing the missing ones in EA from those 600 spells.

Thanks for clarifying!!☺️

Wonder where the other spells are coming from, or more importantly, what is being classified as a spell. There are 342 in the PHB alone.

Thank you to have posted this. I didn't made the math and i was afraid some spells i wanted to see would not be in the game.

Divination and Necromancy only exist to be opposition schools. You don’t actually play them.

There is no such thing as an opposition school in D&D 5e

Some of the unknowns are a pretty big deal. Green Fire Blade and Booming Blade, for example, make/break a bunch of builds, would be nice to know if they are included or not.

But this is a general problem with Divination, Illusion, and polymorph in CRPGs. DM judgment is needed to manage all of them, and as AI is not yet up to adjudicating you can't have anything like the same impact in a CRPG.

I have never felt more personally offended by any single statement in my entire life.
Someone arrest this man for blaspheming against the unholy necromantic cult and prepare his body for reanimation.

It's 600 spells and actions. So no, this isn't correct.

It didn't say actions tho. My quote copy directly from the blog. Don't know what sub spell mean here

I guess it means every element of the chromatic orb or every version of contagion counts as a different spell

Literally from the community update, "...over 600 spells & actions, excluding upcasts, in BG3."

my quote copy from https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/3657534571513526776

it's under section of "New Spells Coming in 1.0"
