Build: 55348patch1.15.3
Testing Focus
We’ve made some adjustments to Mage, Hunter, and Warlock in this week’s initial PTR release, but we intend to Hotfix additional adjustments to other classes onto the PTR sometime before the weekend.

Baldur's Gate 3 dev explains in painstaking detail how and why players get to break the game: "The easy thing would be to block players ... but we don't like that at Larian"
In a newly posted presentation for Sofia Game Jam, Larian gameplay scripter Mihail Kostov outlined the work and thinking that goes into an RPG as freeform as Baldur's Gate 3, focusing on the "edge cases" that Larian had to account for even if an incredibly small percentage of players might run into them. We've heard similar stories from Larian before, but Hostov offered an interesting nitty-gritty approach.
