Actions are things a creature can do on their turn in Baldur's Gate 3. Some actions are available to all creatures, whereas others become available through features or equipment.
Actions are generally taken in order to deal damage or inflict harmful conditions, but they can also be taken to heal or aid allies.
Resources
Creatures take actions in turn-based mode by expending one of two resources: Action and Bonus action.
An additional resource – Reaction – is used to take conditional reactions on another creature's turn.
All creatures have 1 charge of each of the three resources that recharges at the beginning of each turn, but additional charges can be gained from various sources.
Exceptions
- Additional actions
- Actions that allow a creature to take an additional action per turn – such as – do not consume the resource they provide.
- Free attacks
- classes that have the feature can take an additional free Attack action on their turn after taking an Attack action, without expending an Action resource.
Situational actions
A less common type of action is a situational action. These unlock as a result of another ability, feature, or condition. It remains at the side of the character's hotbar until the conditions creating it expire. One such example is Forced Manoeuvre as a result of Manoeuvring Attack (Melee).
