Fog Cloud Tips & Notes for BG3
- Upcast: Expands Area of Effect.
- Hiding while inside the cloud is automatically successful and will make it count as a Heavily Obscured area. The AI is currently too unsophisticated to deal with this and is likely to completely waste their turn.
- Cunning Action: Hide for hiding on a Bonus Action, coupled with Eversight Ring or Helldusk Helmet, or being Hasted and simply walking out of the cloud to attack and walk back in to hide, will allow you to exploit the AI.
- Can be used to remove
Cloudkill and prevent it from being cast in the AoE.
AnonymousUseful casting BEFORE combat to position your ambush. Cast it from a distance inbetween you and the enemy as to not start combat, then sneak your group up to get into an ambush position. If you use it like a movie scene where the fog cloud billows in and suddenly enemies are rushing right on you, you'll find amazing uses for it. Works well with Rogues, Necromancers and Warlocks but it has many creative uses. Not as good as Darkness, but you cannot see out of Darkness. Fog Cloud allows you to sneak into the fog and attack from stealth. Even if you are blinded, you are attacking from stealth so the real problem is the reduction in engagement range.

If your character can see in the dark, and if they're close enough, their ranged attacks will be fired with advantage against enemies inside the cloud, because the enemies will be blinded. In these conditions, it's like a faerie fire without a saving throw. This is obviously very strong for any ranged characters, but you can also position enemies at the edge of the cloud, and melee characters standing just outside the cloud can hit the blinded enemy with advantage, too.
Unlike faerie fire, of course, the enemies can leave the cloud. So, there are pros and cons.

This is only useful for Arcane Tricksters to hide in.
Ranged attacks and spells can be fired into it completely unhindered, but oddly cannot be fired from inside it.
Being inside it offers zero protection unlike Darkness, and enemies you cast it on will simply move a few feet to the side to escape since the radius is so low.

Can confirm - fog cloud DOES NOT prevent attacks outside the fog, unlike Darkness. Tips are incorrect.

Upcasting this with higher level spell slots increases the Area of Effect.

Lots of cheese with this spell. There is no vision inside so you can Hide without problems. And when you are hidden you can freely Pickpocket or Shove with 100% chance to succeed.

Under the image, it says "Summons a cloud of dense frog", I think that's meant to say fog instead.
So many shenanigans you can pull off with this spell.
Sneaking, robbing, ambushing, lite crowd control, etc.
And all for a level 1 slot. High value spell. Only downside is it competes with things like Haste or Hold Monster for concentration, but since it's a level 1 spell you can use it to conserve high level slots.
