high elf cantrip + sorcerer

[moysha]

Is it a bug that the elf\half elf racial cantrip like fire bolt always scales off intelligence?

It shouldn't be like this imo. It doesn't work this way for eldritch knight fighter, why is it int based for a sorc? A bug?

[Cyroy]

It always scales off of intelligence. It's in the books. This was done because you choose a cantrip from the wizard's spell list, which uses intelligence.

so useless for non-int mages?

Depends. If you take a cantrip that doesn't utilise intelligence (ie, light, true strike, blade ward, etc), then this isn't an issue. Problem is, the non stat using cantrips in BG3 are rather lackluster to crappy. The good choices from the table top aren't in the game.

Intelligence-scaling for high elf cantrips is lifted directly from 5e rules.

If you're already playing a sorcerer, just pick the attack cantrips you want as sorcerer spells, and use your racial cantrips for something else.

Yup. Personally I use Friends because I am obsessed with succeeding my Charisma-based checks.
Or any checks for that matter but I can't use it on a rock standing in my way. Sadly.

Really wont matter about the cantrips the game is so easy you will never need to gear or level to beat what they have out. I mean its divinity reskinned with a 5e - aka lorebreaker rule set theme to it. Level 1 spells no save says it all, a broken concentration system that makes 0 sense in 5e or um divinity reskinned. I fully intend to do a lvl 1 solo play through when the game does releases just so I can say I told you so on the forums. The only things this game has going for it is pretty graphics and the name.

Wish there was a RemindMe feature on Steam.

I've personally been thrust into the role of DM.
First time DM at that. I am both terrified and excited. >_0

I love DMing, hope you enjoy it as well! Why play one character when you can play ALL of the characters?

You can use it to ignite surfaces to gain some effect like steam, fire. Light objects from afar blow stuff up if you're into that :P It's versatile and doesn't have to be all about dealing the big D :V damage ofc :V:V
