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.

I love stuff like this. I hope they don't go around nerfing and patching the fun out of the game. Most people are never going to play a build like this, but the idea that you can and the idea that tinkering and understanding the rules can lead to stuff like this makes playing and discovery really fun beyond just the games story.

I skimmed that article, but from what I remember, in 5th Edition you're only limited to only one bonus action per turn. Meaning that stacking that many bonus actions is probably a bug rather than a feature.

You get one bonus action but the rogue multiclass gives you a second all the time. Then the monk ability gives you an extra one for a few turns.

You're limited to one reaction but bonus actions are like actions so anything that gives you an extra one is perfectly okay

Damn it! Guess I have to start over, again.
