Why one Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 spell shouldn\u2019t be used indoors Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has many abilities for players to use in battle, but you have to be extremely careful when using a specific spell, as it can harm people outside of combat. One underappreciated aspect of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s incredible level of player freedom is the ability to fight almost everyone in the game. Sure, Vlaakith can Wish you to death if you insult her, but most other foes can be tackled as soon as you meet them. It\u2019s also possible to accidentally aggro enemies in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 due to AoE effects. Spells like Fireball can be incredibly powerful, but if they hit an NPC or accidentally ignite a surface, then expect to add more enemies to the battle. One spell can accidentally harm non-combatants, but only if used in certain areas. As pointed out in a thread on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, the level 2 Druid spell, Moonbeam shouldn\u2019t be used indoors in buildings with floors. \u201cDon\u2019t use moonbeam on upper floors of buildings,\u201d a player explained. \u201cIt appears to continue all the way to the ground floor and will kill anyone that walks through the column, which caused me to have to reload when Halsin became the most wanted man in Baldurs Gate.\u201d Moonbeam summons a shaft of light that damages creatures that enter or start their turn in its radius. As there are two Druid party members in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, you\u2019ll likely have access to the spell at some point. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 interprets Moonbeam\u2019s effect as being in the same spot across multiple floors, so people below the spell can still be harmed. This iteration of Moonbeam is different from how it works in D&D 5e, where it only hits a single spot. The Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 version is likely a result of engine limitations or a developer oversight rather than an intentional change to the spell\u2019s effect. Moonbeam is a great spell in areas where the player can bottleneck the enemy, as they\u2019ll take damage whenever they reach a choke point. Players just need to be aware that Moonbeam can accidentally hit the wrong people should some NPCs be loitering around downstairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
