Reactions are actions taken in response to a trigger, and can be taken even if triggered on another creature's turn.
Reactions are actions taken in response to a trigger, and can be taken even when triggered during another creature's turn. Some of these actions require the acting creature to expend a {{SmallIcon|Reaction Icon.png}}Reaction, whereas other "reactions" do not. Those that do not are player abilities which use the reaction mechanic to modify an action, such as adding damage to an attack ({{SAI|Divine Smite}}/{{SAI|Sneak Attack}}) or attempting to change a miss into a hit with {{SAI|Reckless Attack}}.{{note|In the tabletop RPG which ''Baldur's Gate 3'' is based on, many class features and abilities which are implemented as reactions in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' are not {{SmallIcon|Reaction Icon.png}}Reactions in the tabletop game, but options that can be added to an action under conditions like "when you hit" or "After you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined." Reactions were added to the game fairly late in development and went through a few different implementations.}}These abilities might consume a different resource, have limited use, or have a drawback.
