Baldur’s Gate 3 players demand answer to why shopkeep has one “God-level” stat
Larian StudiosBaldur’s Gate 3 players are asking why one relatively minor NPC has perhaps the highest Constitution score in the entire game.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of powerful allies and foes you’ll meet on your journey across the Sword Coast.
Most are obvious, such as the villainous Orin the Red and devilish Raphael, whose stats and abilities lead to epic, challenging boss fights.
However, there are some characters whose power may take you by surprise, including a shopkeeper with one ridiculously high Constitution stat.
Baldur’s Gate 3 players confused by Felogyr’s Fireworks shopkeep’s 30 CON
As seen in a screenshot shared by Reddit user jayelled, Avery Sonshal of Felogyr’s Fireworks in Baldur’s Gate has a Consitution score that far exceeds what is typically possible.
The level 9 human shopkeeper’s CON is 30 – 10 points above the usual maximum of 20 – leading the posted to call it “God-level.”
The poster puts this into context by comparing him to purposely powerful creatures from Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dungeons & Dragons. For example, the undead dragon Ansur has a CON score of 23, and the final boss of Baldur’s Gate 3 has 22 CON.
In Dungeons & Dragons terms, this random man has the same CON as a Tarrasque, which is generally considered to be the strongest, most dangerous creature in the entire game.
This has players wondering why developer Larian Studios would give such a high CON score to a relatively minor NPC. Some speculated in-game reasons for the fireworks shopkeeper’s godly power, such as one who joked, “every day he trains, exploding himself with bigger and bigger fireworks.”
Another commenter suggested a game mechanics-based reason, saying, “They knew players would want to explode the place and kill him instantly. So they want to give him special treatment.” Since Constitution impacts your hit points maximum, bumping the score up to 30 would certainly make him more durable.
Still, given that the rest of his stats are nothing exceptional, it’s not too hard to kill him quickly with his own merchandise.
It’s also entirely possible that this is an oversight. Unless we see a change in a future update, though, this Baldur’s Gate 3 mystery will likely remain unsolved.
