I just cant stand anymore every ranged enemy and its mother focus firing Shadowheart and Gale and keep smaking theyr downed arse until enough death saves are failed. All while melee chars just sweep through the battlefield unchallanged like they pose no threat at all. La zael and my ranger are literally immune to targeting while Gale is still breathing and enemies have a clear shot on him.
I can bear to some degree that AI is bloodthirsty for squishy targets, but always attacking a downed PC is so much wrong. In tabletop this behaviour is either high difficulty or just plain toxic.

For christ sake just make the AI do some remotely reasonable stuff like engage real threats charging at them and not bullying the poor fraking far-away corpse of a mage hiding in the bushes.

I submitted that enemies going after downed creatures is not what DMs do in D&D and takes away from the fun. Getting them back up is already a resource drain and it is spell slots if theyre surrounded, which are finite. Definitely bad behavior.

Them focusing the weakest person, every time - also annoying. Threat generation needs to exist, though clerics and wizards are good things to make sure you target. Shield and mage armor can start making that a bad idea. He gets a power that lets him reflect projectiles - arrows, bottles, etc...pretty OP when its a bunch of jerks doing that haha. It shouldnt be necessary, though and blowing a second level mirror image every fight because they do that isn't enjoyable.


What is the problem you are solving? Does your proposed change solve the problem? Is your change feasible? What else will be affected by your change? Will your change impact revenue? Does your change align with the goals and strategies of the organizations (Larian, WotC)?

just for the lolz: i killed the owlbear because he decided to make a snack out of gale while threathed by 3 melee chars. The flurry of AoO ended with shadowhearth stealing my kill. GG. Gale top tier tank

...some DM's. wink

I agree, though, the AI is a bit "one track mind" at the moment.
