Radiating Orbs meant to be this strong?

[Player#2201]

Luminous Armor + Luminous Gloves + Coruscation Ring + Flame Strike = 20-30 stacks of radiating orb and equivalent penalty to hit. I'm guessing it's from the multiple waves that are created, even from mundane objects.

Anything that procs on hits gets ridiculous with something that causes many hits. For example magic missile and lightning charges.

[SnowVix]

Yes, stacking multiple symbiotic bonuses together is generally this strong. It's like putting a bunch of the lightning charge stuff together on one character.

[PK_Thunder]

Yeah that's intentional and yeah radiant orb is busted. So is reverberation.

An ill thought out concept.. No clue if this is on Larian or it's actually a part of D&D5'th..

It's absolutely not part of 5e, no. BG3 is heavily house ruled.

[Reaver79]

Yea i know, just not touched D&D since 4'th which sucked so bad i never returned..
And honestly large parts of what i have learned about 5'th does not really try and pull me back in..

The real issue is the abundance of gear and methods that you can use to stack it so high.

I see someone has been watching their YT videos.

lol, 15 years of breaking tabletop mechanics will show you what to look for. Never found a gaming YT video that didn't feature the most annoying voices imaginable.

It is bugged. The stacks are supposed to cap at 7. If you go over like 25-30 the game crashes.

A good example of why Larian has no idea what they're doing in D&D.

This isn't how D&D works. This is dumb "video game DoS lulz" homebrew.

yeah it is how dnd works, they just homebrewed it... it's just not 5e RAW or balanced at all but it's definitely how DnD works as a design.

It's not balanced cos they didn't use half a year after the game is done to balance everything as they should... cos it means less money... Sadly it's kind a standard nowadays in game industry. Cos it's really hard to do properly and costs money.
