Expand wild magic table
1. True to D&D 5e: BG3is closely tied to the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition ruleset. Expanding the Wild Magic table to match the 100 options available in the tabletop game would be more faithful to the source material. This consistency can enhance the overall D&D experience in the video game.

2. Increased Variety: By expanding the Wild Magic table to 100 options, players will encounter a wider range of effects when triggering a Wild Magic Surge. This added variety can keep gameplay fresh and exciting, as players never know what to expect when they cast spells.

3. Role-Playing Opportunities: Having a more extensive Wild Magic table provides players with greater opportunities for role-playing. It encourages them to adapt their characters' actions and reactions to the unpredictable outcomes of their spells, fostering creativity and deeper immersion in the game world.

4. Encouraging Wild Magic Use: By increasing the likelihood of Wild Magic Surges, players are more likely to engage with these unique and chaotic mechanics. This can lead to a more enjoyable and memorable experience for those who choose Wild Magic subclasses, as they'll feel like they are truly harnessing the unpredictable power of magic.

5. Fun and Surprises: The essence of Wild Magic is its unpredictability and the element of surprise. Expanding the table and increasing the frequency of surges amplifies the sense of adventure and fun that players seek when choosing Wild Magic subclasses.

6. Customization: BG3 could even take it a step further by allowing players to customize their own Wild Magic tables, choosing from a wide array of unique and thematic effects. This level of customization would empower players to tailor their Wild Magic experiences to their characters and playstyles.

7. Balance Considerations: Expanding the Wild Magic table might require some balancing to ensure that the effects are not too overpowered or underwhelming. Careful consideration should be given to the power level and frequency of certain surges to maintain game balance.

8. More Varied and Epic Outcomes: Expanding the Wild Magic table to include a wider range of effects, such as summoning powerful creatures or triggering dramatic events, would make the Wild Magic experience more diverse and epic. Players would eagerly anticipate the next surge, eager to see what incredible outcome awaits.

9. Exclusive Interactions: Implementing special interactions available only to Wild Magic sorcerers and barbarians would incentivize players to choose these subclasses. This could involve unique teleport to a small location locked only to the wild magic subclasses and allow a quest for only this class in what ever way yall take it. Or a nice npc gets summoned in combat and stops the fight to serve his famous DirtyCheeseDip ramen to you and your enemies for a moment and a unique cutscene be legit. Or just elder dragon lol

10. Increased Frequency: One of the issues with Wild Magic in game may be the rarity of Wild Surges. By increasing the chance of Wild Magic Surges occurring, players will have more opportunities to experience the chaos and fun associated with the Wild Magic subclass. This increased frequency would make it a more attractive choice for players seeking unpredictability and randomness in their adventures. Right now it feels like it happens ONCE PER HOUR and i spam spells.

11. Enhanced Replayability: The addition of more Wild Magic effects and interactions would contribute to the game's overall replayability. Players could create multiple characters with Wild Magic subclasses, each with a unique experience, making subsequent playthroughs more enjoyable.


12. A True Wild Magic Experience: Ultimately, these enhancements would provide players with a truer and more immersive Wild Magic experience. Players would embrace the chaos, not knowing if their next spell would result in a helpful boon, a powerful enemy, or an unexpected twist in the story. These two classes are some the most entertaining and fun to me in DnD and I think it was a real missed opportunity. PLEASE EXPAND LARIAN I LOVE YOU
