When cast, Seeming will disguise the wielder and whoever is in their party, which can be helpful when trying to escape unwanted situations or avoid enemies. But using the spell isn\u2019t as easy as the description leads people to believe. Players started a discussion on Reddit about the usefulness of the Seeming spell, sharing scenarios where it could be effective. However, the original poster expressed frustration, stating they couldn\u2019t get the spell to work at all. \u201cTook Seeming, figured I\u2019d have an easier time sneaking in and out of places,\u201d said the poster. \u201cCast it on my party and it makes the party members save against the disguise, meaning only half the party was disguised. What\u2019s worse, it doesn\u2019t even let you choose how to disguise yourself!\u201d Commenters swiftly debunked the claim that Seeming doesn\u2019t allow you to choose how you and your party are disguised. According to them and the official Wikipedia page for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, you can select your disguises after casting the spell. This is specifically listed as \u201cAdjust Seeming,\u201d a self-cast action that can transform the user into any race in masculine or feminine frames. There were conflicting comments about whether party members could save against the disguise, with some stating they had never seen this happen. This suggests that the original poster might have encountered issues beyond just casting the spell, or that they could be facing a different situational problem. \u201cThat\u2019s weird. I don\u2019t think I ever had to roll saves using the spell; maybe someone was watching you, and you had to roll against them,\u201d shared one commenter. \u201cNot sure. As others said guards will still know you\u2019re not supposed to be there no matter what you look like. That is working as intended.\u201d One thing players seemed to agree with overall, was that there are better ways to disguise a party without burning a Level 5 spell slot. Items and lower-level spells work just as well and reserve precious high-level slots for more pressing situations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players struggle with \u201cuseless\u201d disguise spell Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are divided over a Level 5 spell, labeled as \u201cuseless,\u201d thanks to confusion on how to cast and use it properly. \u201cSeeming\u201d is a high-level spell available to characters at Class Level 9, including Bards, Sorcerers, Wizards, Archfey Warlocks, and Trickery [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20711\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
