Generally speaking I'm way more in favor of combat that is quick and lethal (on both sides). I don't like having to hit the same target several times as an attacker (especially when it's supposed to be a "weak one") and I don't like sponging damage as target. This just to confirm that I'm not a big fan of this choice, on paper.
Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
