Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Problems with Riposte & Great Weapon Fighting

I am a fighter with great weapon fighter & battle master. Great weapon fighter states:
"When a melee attack scores a critical hit or kills a creature, you can make another melee attack as a bonus action..."

This just simply does not work. I've hit crits and killed with melee weapons and nothing happens. There's no icon that pops up and to perform another attack requires an action.

I've also taken battle master, and riposte just doesn't happen at all. It has not happened once. Idk how to enable it. It's in my hotbar and is highlighted with a circling effect? I'm assuming this is enabled?

Hope this gets fixed! Love the game, but hope this gets ironed out because I feel my character progression choices are being wasted.

I tried Riposte too and I saw it working sometime.
In D&D 5e, you can do ONE reaction action per turn, and there are several way to use that kind of action. For example, if you did an opportunity attack during a turn, you won't be able to do a Riposte, etc...
Testing it is pretty hard because we can't control mobs to do exactly what we need to do so.

I will keep this in mind, but I have not been able to get riposte to activate even once. I've been attacked and had the enemy missed, with no opportunity attack, and riposte still doesn't trigger.

Thank you for the reply because I didn't not know the rules of the number of reactions a character can do in a turn.

I've noticed the same on my two weapon battlemaster in regards to Riposte not working... but maybe it's the reaction limitation....

had the same problem. ended up dragging the riposte icon up and changing slots with the opportunity attack, and it started working afterwards
