'''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|conditions]], but they can also be taken to [[healing|heal]] or aid allies. | |||
; Situational actions | == Resources == | ||
Creatures take actions in [[turn-based mode]] by expending one of two [[resources]]: {{SmallIcon|Action Icon.png}} Action and {{SmallIcon|Bonus Action Icon.png}} Bonus action. | |||
An additional resource – {{SmallIcon|Reaction Icon.png}} Reaction – is used to take conditional [[Reactions|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 [[Sources of additional actions|various sources]]. | |||
=== Exceptions === | |||
; Additional actions : Actions that allow a creature to take an {{em|additional}} action per turn – such as {{SAI|Action Surge}} – {{em|do not}} consume the resource they provide. | |||
; Free attacks : classes that have the {{SAI|Extra Attack}} feature can take an additional free Attack action on their turn after taking an Attack action, without expending an {{SmallIcon|Action Icon.png}} Action resource. | |||
