Baldur's Gate 3: Deadly Boots.
And those were ordinary leather boots. You can imagine what we can do when we get a pair of Adamantine Boots:
"Hey, let's not provoke the man, he's wearing a pair of Atom Bombs!"
Baldur's Gate 3: Deadly Boots.
It was a low level enemy that got killed by flying boots in the video. I think it was something like 3 damages. It' not unreasonable…

Yeah, the "jump out of opportunity attacks" worries me the most.
In Pathfinder, you can use acrobatics to move through a threatened square without incurring an opportunity attack. Is it anything like that in the video?
It’s called 5-ft step in D&D, I didn’t see that ability in the video but it’s pre alpha.

Must some weak version because it's the first enemy you encounter in the game, apparently (instead of the usual rats).It was an intellect devourer.
It doesn't look like it's an Acrobatics check.In Pathfinder, you can use acrobatics to move through a threatened square without incurring an opportunity attack. Is it anything like that in the video?
I believe the famous 5-foot step doesn't exist anymore in 5th Ed. It did exist in D&D 3rd Edition. Actually, as per the 5E PHB, you can *normally* make Attacks of Opportunity only when your opponent moves out of your threatened area without using a maneuver like Disengage (PHB, pg 192):
'lf you take the Disengage action, your movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn."
About Opportunity Attacks (PHB, pg. 195):
"Vou can make an opportunity attack when a hostile creature that you can see moves out of your reach. To make the opportunity attack, you use your reaction to make one melee atlack against the provoking creature."
That being said, it is quite normal that a character (in D&D 5th Edition) moves through a threatened area without incurring opportunity attacks. So, I believe this is not presented in the video not because it is a pre-alpha footage but because the game will use 5E ruleset and Larian simply didn't implement such attacks.
Sorry for derailing the thread, I only meant to make some 5E rules clear. I'll try to stick to thread's subject (whenever possible, of course )
I've been lobbying hard for 5ft step in threads here too, and it no longer exists. :lol:
Gonna have to brush up on 5e i'm still stuck on 3.5.
I don't think it's OT to post about rules in a gameplay thread. Thanks for the info.
I don't mind it, because I never expected a sequel. In the end, it's just a name. But it might have been better received that way.
BG3 os high on expected vid product list and is GOTY depending on moment of release (it will take a strong contender to deprive it)
What better reception.
I'm just afraid of all ths "boot-throwing for real", "Mage Hand that can push you off a cliff" , and all.
Actually, now in 5E you can move, attack, and then, if you want to, make the remain of your movement (if left). So, that famous 5-ft step is now part of your movement.
Example: if your character's speed is 30 ft, you can walk 10-ft, attack an enemy and then move the remaining 20-ft. You don't suffer an opportunity attack by simply entering or moving around an threatened area (even if such enemy is a Storm Giant). Of course, like I said above, if you use those remaining 20-ft to move OUT OF an area threatened by the enemy, you will suffer an opportunity attack.
I know the 5th Edition allows some form of "Improvised Weapons" (5th Ed PHB, pages 147/148) but in the particular case of "throwing boots" I think all this thing is bit too much.
Again, I know some form of adaptation is necessary when "porting" the rules from the books to the game but c'mon, doing lots of damage by throwing leather boots at the enemies????
Shoe throwing is a real thing!
