It was only a matter of time, right? While technical tricks like stacking a thousand explosive barrels or leveraging fall damage for Owlbear elbow drops are impressive in their own way, I've yet to see anything truly representing Dungeons & Dragons' frightening powergaming underbelly from Baldur's Gate 3's community. That is, until now.

There's always going to be meganerds who find insane builds in games.

I remember in Divinity Original Sin 2 I was at the final boss and it was stupid hard. So I went online to ask for help in Reddit and minmax nerds were like: Do you have skin graft? Do you have Green Tea? Do you have Adrenaline?

And sure enough, after respeccing the fight was a joke.

Of course, you can just beat DoS2 with barrelmancy, the most OP skill of all!
