Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Fighter Protection

As a Fighter, I chose Protection at Level 1. Protection allows you to defend adjacent allies when they are attacked. I can't find Protection listed on my character sheet, and also I don't see it working or any way to activate it during battle.

Any help would be appreciated.

May not have actually been implemented yet.

Hello,

Are you using a shield (required) and are you within 5 feet of a companion ?
If so, attacks against that ally should be at a Disadvantage (the way it is written/described in the game anyhow)
[i.e. on the tabletop, it is a Reaction and should work only once per turn].

Oh, wait, it is most probably a Reaction !
So check your available Reactions on the right-side of the UI. If it works, it is rather an excellent choice!

Baraz,

Thanks for the reply!

I've seen it now on the Reactions window. It wasn't there before, but maybe there was a reason. Anyway I see it now.

Is there any way to see a Combat Log that shows the history of a battle with rolls and modifiers like Advantage or Disadvantage?

That would be wonderful, especially when testing the Early Access version.

Yep. There is a combat log window, bottom right, but it is collapsed by default.

I did not see it myself : someone had to tell me.
