Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Social combat interactions

It would be interesting if after losing HPs and going under a certain threshold, enemies could be susceptible to be intimidated, persuaded to yield or scared by our characters using a social dice roll as their standard action for the round. I am pretty sure the current combat system would allow it perfectly.

I think this is a great idea, really opens up a lot of options for people who want to play without killing, but it also opens up ways for intimidating or cunning characters to diversify combat.

It is part of the D&D 5e rules... so, all for it.

It would create dialogue hell for the devs, and they have already added an incredible amount of dialogue for novel actions that most people wont even see.

Several combats do already have this scripted. For instance when you kill a specific enemy, do a specific action or do enough damage.
