I've seen this happen with several youtubers that pretend to be experts at the games they are making guides of. Like Spiffing Brit calling Lae'Zel "Laziel" which is something you only would do if you never played the game yourself and are making your video following someone else's guide just skipping to the parts you have to be at to capture the footage you need.

@@jackplisken4738 That makes sense. After a channel gain momentum they are incentivized to ride the wave and churn out content to keep the momentum, even if they make content about games they don't play...

An important hidden quirk of the Rat Bat: AFAIK, it is the only weapon that still uses the Damage Rider Source bug/feature in Honor Mode that they patched out. In other words, in Honor Mode, it triggers Damage Riders twice per hit (once for the base damage, and once for the added piercing damage.) This actually makes it a pretty powerful, top-tier weapon in Honor Mode, if you stack a lot of DRs. I like it a lot for a thuggish sort of Durge character.

The justiciar scimitar acts more like a short sword except it deals slashing damage, as a monk with it still gains unarmed strike as a bonus action

[@PuskasMarton]

10:33 I wouldnt urge people to use charm person or friends unless they know exactly how to make sure the npc doesnt freak out after the convo. Using it on a companion will reduce their relationship with you by 10 and using it on an npc will make them hostile afterwards with varying consequences. So imo the lvl 2 spell Enhance Ability is a LOT more versatile and even adds bonuses if you chose one of the physical stats, without any of the drawbacks of the aforementioned two. (also Charmed is the worst CC in the game so that's not even a point worth arguing.)

[@commander_koala9029]

Yeah saying “this item gives you advantage on checks” without acknowledging that you have to use a risky spell to get it is just stupid. This video is full of so much bad or misleading info, just play the game yourself, read tooltips and you’ll learn more.

I should note that I’m romancing him this time around so idk if that makes a difference.

Ok ive been watching a lot of bg3 tips and tricks videos across multiple creators, so i am probably getting a lot of repeats, understandable, but i'm starting to figure out things that aren't being talked about enough, like the fact that Goodberry lets you perform free full rests if you can manage to make 80 Goodberries. I have scoured youtube for anybody making a video about this, nobody seems to care about being able to perform free full rests just by making camp casters, or optimizing warding bond across party members to maximize the amount of damage you can take across your whole party and camp cast team. Things like these aren't being flaunted enough. Or the "sword in the stone" Phalar Aluve that people seem to completely skip over, has 2 amazing buffs that do not require concentration and can be used by a party member that isn't using a melee weapon. These are pretty much act 2 tips too, considering camp casting becomes very juicy around level 5-9.

[@AirLancer]

Concerning using Goodberries as camp supplies, it's fine and all but...so what? For most of the game you'll be swimming in camp supplies, even with a 80 supply requirement to long rest. There's easily more than enough food in the game to long rest after every single fight. Also Phalar Aluve is part of some of the most well-known strats, like combining it with Magic Missile or Hex + Eldritch Blast (both the blasts and Hex proc the Shriek's thunder damage).
