The feat is called “fuck around”. On a successful roll you can fuck around and inflict the condition “finding out” on opponents, but on a failed roll you apply “finding out” to yourself and suffer the consequences
Level 5 is probably the biggest single jump in power in the game for most classes. Martials get their second attacks, and spell casters get third level spells which have some really powerful options.
Yeah most classes really start to pop off by 5, it's kinda crazy how big a deal it is despite the big ASI/Feat being on 4 a lot of the strong key features of a class are on 5.
Level 5 is probably one of the most defining levels across all classes. You're either getting a second attack per turn or getting access to third level spells, it really is a defining power curve milestone.

all things considered it makes sense, no? level 5 is a HUGE level for almost every single class. extra attack for martials, 3d6 sneak attack and uncanny dodge for rogues, and 3rd level spells for casters (which notoriously are VERY strong for their level) its a neat little detail that makes this feel more D&D related.

i appreciate the extra detail of everyone wearing something red to show their bloodlust/confidence after lvl5 while they’re in non-red/green for 4 and under
Results of 5th level: 1: Fighters, barbarians, paladins, Monks and rangers double their damage output. 2: Casters have access to 3rd level spells. Fireball, hunger of hadar, hypnotic pattern, Haste, Lightning bolt and sleet storm along with whatever other spells you want.

I just played through this part because the witch was hard for me and the swamp even harder, I had to call the ogres after like 10 tries, i was going insane
It's work like this that makes this game fun. There is a LOT of darkness in it and I will never play an evil character, but this is just amazing levels of details. It's a subtle way to tell the player "you are not ready" or "go get 'em!" with regards to the player's ability to fight.
Keeping in mind the difference is spending about a day wandering around the woods with Tav. Act 1 must take a week or so if you do everything depending on how many long rests you take.

nah, the difference between lvl 4 and lvl 5 is like 5'2 vs 6´2 ft
That extra attack giving karlach way too much confidence
i love the emotions that neil put into astarion there O.O
Level 5 Karlach is your ride or die.
Makes sense, level 5 is such a huge power gap, you’re practically demi god at that point
The voice acting is so goood, astarion in specific, you can feel the bloodlust in his voice
Lvl 5 Shadowheart over here, who cannot hit the broad side of a barn, getting eager to disappoint me more.
Brown haired Shadow heart got me acting UP
I love Astarion’s the most TBH.
It’s things like this that make BG3 so great !
Karlach : I'm enough
little known bg3 fact: the urge to kill rises alongside the level
you dont wanna know the crazy shit they say and do at level 10
Now I do.
Pave my path with corpses build my castles with bones
Mommy Karlach calling you trash 😭
Level up then???
My first time around I did it at lvl 4 Gloom stocker Ranger and a dozen tries
I just played through this part because the witch was hard for me and the swamp even harder, I had to call the ogres after like 10 tries, i was going insane
Shadowheart got that gamer posture
"We've got a roadblock to clear!" is such a cold line it started snowing in the hells.
My strategy nowadays is to disarm Voss and get his Silver Sword
Not Karlach roasting the whole party 😂
It's work like this that makes this game fun. There is a LOT of darkness in it and I will never play an evil character, but this is just amazing levels of details. It's a subtle way to tell the player "you are not ready" or "go get 'em!" with regards to the player's ability to fight.
the astarion one made me think there was a geno route in Baldur's gate 3 for a second 💀💀💀
I don't see why there wouldn't be.
the big evil choices have a similar feel to geno ig
THE WAY LEVEL 5 ASTARION SAID PRETTY PLEASE HAS ME KICKING MY FEET
“Pretty please” DIDNT HAVE TO ASK ME TWICE ASTARION!!!
Everyone talking about bloodthirsty/horny Astarion but god damn Shart gets a hell of an attitude and I love it. Queen and she knows it.
lmao when i first got astarions i was doing my first durge run & i was like “yes my dear whatever u want”
Level 4 to 5 is a huge shift in power. Multi attack, level 3 spells, lots of good class features like stunning strike on monks.
I'm so used to Wyll complaining about my decisions that I was actually surprised with how cool his lv 5 response is
If wyll talked like that on every interaction I would be smitten, bit he's always a little more righteous than funny
*5 XP till level 5*
“Fuck no get them away from me!”
*1 goblin death later*
“What are you waiting for? Let’s kill em!”
One level makes a hell of a difference in confidence
Oh my god, I didn’t know there were different voice lines depending on character level. They went all out for this game..
I did it at level 4. Ain't that bad
Less than level 5: “yeah I don't know about that…”
Level 5+: *FIREBALL* 🎶 🎶
Karlach chatting like she isn’t also level 2 😂 (I love her)
Waitt this is so cool, i didnt know they had other dialogue cause i killed them at level 3 😅😅😅
Keeping in mind the difference is spending about a day wandering around the woods with Tav. Act 1 must take a week or so if you do everything depending on how many long rests you take.
The sheer genius of having different voice lines based on level.... I love Larian and BG3
