Poison Spray | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

This is a shotgun cantrip, not one you're gonna run up to somebody and brap with. Give em the stinky winky when your sorcerer or wizard is stuck in melee and your other spells will either explode or count as Attacks which have Disadvantage in melee. It also has a much bigger damage range than even some 1st level spells like Shocking Grasp although of course with fewer debuff benefits.

CON save yes, short range yes, poor mileage damage type yes... but it's a d12, and it benefits from an act 1 item. It's better than tanking opportunity attacks to avoid disadvantage on a ranged cantrip or using your puny melee attacks as a straight-up caster. A good use of a cantrip slot so long as you have covered other bases first, though it falls off when you inevitably start stacking several bonuses to attack rolls that don't translate to saving throw chances.

does this apply the poisoned effect?

^ Imp may be immune to poison hence why it doesn't register on spell hit

Sometimes when I use it on an enemy, the game doesn't register a hit at all as if I used it on the ground even though I know it was cast on the enemy model. Either bugged or there is something about it I just don't understand.
