| 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. | | == Overview == |
| | Actions are categorised by their source: |
| | ; Common actions : Common actions are actions available to all creatures. |
| | ; Class actions : Class actions are actions available through [[features]], such as those gained from [[classes]] or [[equipment]]. Many actions taken by [[Non-player characters|NPCs]] are also considered class actions. |
| | ; Racial actions : Racial actions are actions available through racial features, and are exclusively gained from [[race]]. |
| | ; Weapon actions : [[Weapon actions]] are actions available through equipping [[weapons]]. |
| | ; Spells : [[Spells]] are cast by casters and by other creatures through the use of [[scrolls]]. |
| | ; Situational actions : Situational actions 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)]]. |

| 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)]].
| | [[File:Monk active reactions.jpg|thumb|right|Figure 1 - Active Reactions]] |
| | Reactions are actions taken in response to a trigger, and can be taken even if triggered on another creature's turn. |
| | |
| | Some reactions require the acting creature to expend a {{SmallIcon|Reaction Icon.png}}, whereas other reactions do not. Those that do not are generally class features which use the reaction mechanic, such as {{SAI|Divine Smite}}, {{SAI|Sneak Attack}} or {{SAI|Reckless Attack}}.{{note| Many class features which are implemented as reactions in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' are not reactions in D&D 5th Edition which ''Baldur's Gate 3'' is based on. This change may have been made because reactions were added to the game fairly late in development.}} |
| | |
| | === The Reactions tab === |
| | [[File:BG3 Monk reactions tab.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Reactions Tab|Figure 2 - Reactions Tab]] |
| | Reactions are managed for each character through the ''Reactions tab'', located on the spellbook page of a character sheet. The tab can also be accessed immediately by pressing on one of the active reactions on the hotbar, or by pressing a hotkey (default: L). |
| | |
| | Reactions can be set to be taken automatically, or the game can be set to prompt the player first. |
| | |
| | If taking the reaction expends any resources, they are listed under the reaction's name. |
| | |
| | === Limitations === |
| | Creatures that are {{cond|Dazed}}, {{cond|Prone}}, {{cond|Stunned}}, {{cond|Incapacitated}} or {{cond|Surprised}} cannot take reactions. |
| | |
| | Some spells – such as {{SAI|Shocking Grasp}} and {{SAI|Arms of Hadar}} – inflict specific conditions that prevent targeted creatures from taking reactions. However, these conditions do not prevent those creatures from taking reactions which {{em|do not}} consume the Reaction resource. |
| | |
| | === Examples of reactions === |
