Command (Halt) Tips & Notes in Baldur's Gate 3
Differences from 5th Edition D&D:
- In 5E, command specifies five options: approach, drop, flee, grovel, and halt. In addition, any one-word command that a player can think of may be used.
- In 5E, command cannot affect Undead creatures.
AnonymousThis spell is super strong and has no diminishing scaling when upcasted.
Approach/Flee/Halt : Stun the enemy, completely skipping their turn but manipulating their movement, allowing for you to lure them into hazards or provoke opportunity attacks.
Drop : Enemies with only 1 weapon will basically be taken out of a fight completely. Great for forcing archers to approach.
Grovel : This one is good but much more situational. It gives you advantage on attacks against groveling enemies but they will get back up on their turn so you want to pay attention to the initiative order. Don't use this on an enemy if their turn is about to come up, do it their turn was right before yours. Other than that, it just halves their movement on their turn.

Pick 1 level of either warlock (fiend pact) or cleric on an enchantment wizard for this. Turns out you can use your wizard spell slots to cast it, and using the enchantment wizard ability, you can use have this spell target two enemies while using only a single level 1 spell slots, allowing you to effectively shut down 2 enemies per turn. Tested it today.

When used properly this spell is scary effective at shutting down/killing enemies. Drop & Grovel are the most immediately strong (for obvious reasons), but flee, and approach can tear apart enemies that are in things like Spike Growth.

I dont think people are exploiting the (Drop) feature of this spell enough. It lets you make any creature wielding a weapon or something in their hands drop it. If u go into turn based mode and use a rogue/sneak you'll be able to pick up the weapons too. Sometimes it considered stealing, but sometimes its a quest item and its circumvented. This feature is good to get the Lantern from Kraniss the Drider without fighting him or Boss/Npcs that are holding magic weapons that you wanna take without killing them.

Seems to break Concentration as well for some reason (Halt was able to stop Hex at least, although by its description alone this is possibly an unintended effect since it is supposed to stop BA, Action, and Reactions). Kind of OP for that reason alone since it bypasses the damage roll with a much easier Save roll.

Best spell in the game. Lvl 1 and can disable almost anyone by making them lie on the ground.
If it's enemy with a weapon this spell makes them completely useless (they don't grab their weapon from the ground and just continue fight with fists)

Can be used to get the special great sword from commander zhalk.
DROP can get an amazing sword at waukens rest, the npc at the left of the door has a +1 greatsword that has +1d4 to enemies w/o full health (thats like %95 of the time). You can get this at level TWO if you know the map well. Paly + savage attacker and you get 6 damage rerolls (2d6+1d4+ dip + 2d8 smite). Wreck em' even on Honor.
