Action Surge is an Action in Baldur's Gate 3. Actions can be used in both exploration and combat to maneuver across the battlefield or to harm or aid Characters. The actions that a Character can perform are based on their Class an Equipment. Action Surge is a coveted Action in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, as it allows the character to do one whole additional Actions during their turn in a fight. Action Surge can only be used once per long or short rest, so players will still have to use it wisely at the right time.

Action Surge Tips & Notes
- Gives you, once per Short Rest, an additional Action that can be used for Attacks including Extra Attacks or for casting a Spell or a Cantrip. Does not give you an additional Bonus Action nor Move Action.
- One of the best abilities in the game, making a level 2 Fighter Multiclassing dip worthwhile.
AnonymousDip 2lvls here and go for assassin 4lvl \gloomstalker 5lvl. You get extra attack and 2 feats + other profits. Take Sharpshooter and dex improvement.
Surprise enemy with first attack, gain actions back, cast hunter mark or anything else you need (maybe off-hand attack with a knife), shoot twice + extra 1 (gloomstalker) - surge action - shoot twice again (total = 6 attacks in first round). If the enemies are surprised, all attacks are crits, if not - they just get sneak attack bonus. Can pair this with maneuvers for extra dmg if dipping 3lvl into fighter.
With Arrow of Many targets into a crowd this combo produces a ton of crits and can clear the whole fight in 1 move. crazy damage.

Paladin 5, warlock 5, fighter 2 = Profit. You're going to be resting constantly anyways to get you warlock slots back so this is just 2 for 1.

Really good for getting a mulligan on the attack you missed or forgetting you have it and short resting before you've used it. If you're as bad and inattentive as I am you'll get serious mileage out of having this as a skill you could have used to do something worthwhile.

Using Action Surge breaks the concentrarion??? For example, I use True Strike cantrip and then Action Surge for a melee attack. It will work???

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
One of the best abilities in the game! If the resting mechanic isn't properly balanced, a level 2 fighter dip would be very, very worthwhile once multiclassing is in.
best ability in the game. useful for every class.
