Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General There needs to be a delay option in combat.

The PnP game used to allow you to 'hold' or delay your action until later in the round. I think that's what the OP is referring to.

I believe this was scrubbed for 5e because it was being abused by players under the effect of 'until your next turn'-type spells and effects. It makes sense for me, going first is not always a benefit and having a higher initiative should always be an advantage.
