That still only counts as one.

is accomplished by a fighter, which feels significant for anyone familiar with Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition's ruleset.

For those out of the loop, there's a power disparity between late-game"martial" classes and their weave-wielding brethren. It's the natural result of giving your party wizard access to spells like, which does exactly what it sounds like. Meanwhile, Fighters can… hit things with their big sword some more.

Granted, they're very good at it. A level 20 fighter in D&D can pump out 4 attacks in a turn , but when that's put next to warping reality, it starts feeling a touch thin. There was some concern this story would repeat itself in Baldur's Gate 3, even though it only goes to level 12—with spellcasters getting access to spells like Chain Lightning and Disintegrate. So watching a player clown on the game's harshest fight with D&D's least flashy class makes me very happy.

This gets coupled with an Arrow of Fiend slaying on poor Raphael, the boss-slash-victim here, who has been paralysed with a dose of Crawler Mucus Poison. Using the Killer's Sweetheart ring for a guaranteed crit, Thorusin's second point-blank shot between the devil's eyes deals 122 damage. This is their second out of nine attacks on their opening turn, by the way.

By the time they've finished their first turn, Raphael is left with a piddly 80 hit points out of 666 and is paralysed, unable to act when his turn comes. What follows is a complete massacre as Thorusin mops up the room with the Arrow of Many Targets, letting them pump their six attacks into Raphael's cambion army. Who needs a wizard when you've got an action surge, haste, and an armoury of powerful magical arrows in your quiver? Not Thorusin, apparently.
