Actions | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

Actions in Baldur's Gate 3 are certain moves your character can perform. 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 and Equipment. Below you can find a list with all Actions in Baldur's Gate 3.

There are special types of Actions called Bonus Actions which can be performed on top of your normal Actions.

Action Resources

To perform Actions in Baldur's Gate 3, your character needs to spend the corresponding resources. All characters can perform at least an Action and a Bonus action per turn. Note that certain abilities, such as Action Surge, may grant you an extra action point.

Action is the primary resource players spend in order to attack or cast Spells. Certain Skills have specific action types assigned to them. Most of these resources replenish once the turn is over.

This is important information to be fully aware of during combat, because It will help you plan your turns accordingly. Note that you don't necessarily have to spend both actions to end your turn.

For example: While playing as a Warlock, you move to a vantage point and cast Eldritch Blast on an Enemy. Doing so, will spend your Action for this turn. Blocking you out from performing another action until your next turn. Your Bonus Action still remains usable. Using a Potion of Healing or using Jump to change your position, spends the remaining Bonus Action resource. These two are just an example of two possible Bonus Actions, and not the only choices available for players.

Weapon Actions

To perform Weapon Actions in Baldur's Gate 3, your character NEEDS to be proficient with that type of weapon. Otherwise, it won't be possible to perform said Weapon action.
