Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Sculpt Spells?

I made Gale an Evoker. I had a tough fight, and cast Shatter. I expected to be able to protect my other party members with the Sculpt Spells feature. But I hit everyone in the AOE. Dropped 2 enemies, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and nearly dropped my Gith. Then of course an enemy Misty Stepped and double attacked Gale, dead. My character barely survived the fight, and I lost 3 scrolls of Revivify. How do I use this feature? Does it even work?

You 'used' it correctly, the ability is just buggy. It works with Burning Hands (most of the time) but almost never works with Shatter.

Hopefully they fix it soon and, more importantly, make it more true to 5e rules (which is only being able to sculpt out 1+spell level of people, rather than just all allies)

I figured it wasn't working right. Arcane Ward is a shit ability as well.
