Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Odd or random 5 bludgeoning damage out of nowhere

I wonder if anyone else got this odd quirk or if anyone has a clue what it is ...

Characters, both in single-player and multiplayer, sometimes receive 5 bludgeoning damage for no known reason, out of the blue.
- The log just says 5 bludgeoning damage and nothing else on hover.
- No combat.
- No dangerous substances or terrain that we can see.
- No rock falling from the sky.

Seems like a rather random bug.

In multiplayer, it happened in a burning village, when we were not really close to the houses. My main was being damaged once in a while out of nowhere.
In singleplayer, it happened after we completely cleared the underground tunnel (under the grove). Astarion was just walking back to the entrance. There were no hazards left either, and hazards would not cause 5 bludgeoning damage anyhow.

No one else got this sometimes ?

Considering it happened also when a friend was hosting a MP, I have to presume we are not the only ones.

Wasn't 5 damage but out of nowhere Gale took damage randomly while exploring the Underdark. No enemies or hazards were around

My logical deduction : the character falls (some invisible failed check) when passing on difficult terrain.

It is only a guess / hypothesis, as it is not combat/attack/hazard damage.
Unless rocks fall from the sky or ceiling.
Or unless the tadpole gets angry at us when we do not use it (like causing internal concussion). That last idea is for laughs.

I just had this issue a few minutes ago after a fight. Walked past a few of the corpses and everyone in the party took between 3-5 bludgeoning damage. One of my companions asked if I was trying to make an enemy of them. Not sure why or what happened, but it was all centered around an unassuming spot in the road by a corpse of an enemy we had killed.
