Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur's Gate 3 is a video game that uses Larian's homebrew version of dnd 5e. It has been modified for balance, increase enjoyment to players, and to better fit in a 3rd video game. The objective of this page is to convert the Baldor's Gate 3 back to dnd 5e. This is not going to be a perfect conversion. Some elements are better for a 3rd video game than a 2nd top down ttrpg. This page will try its best to strike a good balance of bringing in homebrew content from Baldor's game, remain compatible with the rest of official and HB dnd resources and remain fun to play.

Special shout out to this Baldur's gate 3 wiki page that finds all the differences between dnd 5e and Baldur's gate 3. Without it, this would have taken longer and less accurate.

The Inspired Version takes the key aspects of Baldor's Gate 3 and implement it into dnd 5e. It is more of a hybrid between the two systems.
