}}This page and [[D&D 5e Rule Changes|related pages]] summarize rule changes from the implementation of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition (D&D 5e) rules to Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3).
}}This page describes any changes that have been made to the rules of certain [[spells]] in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' (BG3), from their original specifications in ''Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition'' (D&D 5e). Other rule changes can be found on their [[D&D 5e Rule Changes|related pages]].


The rule changes described on this page and [[D&D 5e Rule Changes|related pages]] are written with the assumption the reader understands the relevant D&D 5e rule. These pages will not explain what the D&D 5e rule is, only what the changed or altered BG3 rule is. These pages also include many BG3 features and abilities that are unchanged from D&D 5e to help a D&D 5e player quickly see which options have changed and which have not, and make decisions without having to do additional research. If the BG3 rule aligns with a OneD&D rule or other playtest material from D&D 5e, that is considered a rule change from D&D 5e.

There will be rapid changes to these pages at BG3's launch, so leaving relevant comments with any edits are strongly encouraged.
