Not everyone who booted up Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was a fan of D&#038;D or familiar with the new rules, especially considering the twenty-year gap between the game and its predecessor. As such, they had to pick up the rules quickly, considering how combat-focused the game is. One Cantrip with a cool name that players were disappointed by was True Strike, a spell that\u2019s supposed to help you hit enemies. However, it is too expensive in terms of Actions and has too short a duration to be useful. The D&#038;D 5E rules are set to be upgraded in the upcoming revised rulebooks, with the new Player\u2019s Handbook set to launch on September 17. A new video on the official Dungeons &#038; Dragons YouTube channel has discussed how some of the spells will be changed, such as summoning magic, which now has the stat blocks for monsters printed in the book. Unfortunately, one spell that was notable by its absence was True Strike, prompting fans to take to the comment section and ask for updates about the underwhelming Cantrip. \u201cI only care about what happens with True Strike,\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cThey better have buffed True Strike. I\u2019m tired of people clowning on me for using that spell.\u201d \u201cTrue strike. They didn\u2019t mention it, and it had better be changed,\u201d one user lamented, while another wrote, \u201cIf they keep True Strike as it was I\u2019m gonna flip.\u201d An updated version of True Strike was printed in Unearthed Arcana, which lets you strike with a weapon using your spellcasting modifier. However, it\u2019s unclear if this will appear in the Player\u2019s Handbook, if this version has been changed, or if a different iteration of True Strike will be used. There\u2019s still time before the new Player\u2019s Handbook is released, so Wizards of the Coast has plenty of time to unveil a better version of True Strike, especially now that the pressure is on, with millions of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players exposed to its weakness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D&#038;D 5E players demand update to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s worst spell Wizards of the CoastWizards of the Coast has discussed some of the changes made to existing spells in the upcoming Player\u2019s Handbook, but one terrible Cantrip from Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has been noticeably absent from the discussion.
