Goblins are nerfed because of it (They have disengage as a bonus action)
Melee characters/monsters are nerfed because of this. (Less opportunity attacks)

If I read Firesnakearies' feedback correctly, they want a bonus action that's not as powerful as the regular action. It makes sense.

A bonus action I'd like to see is Dodge, which is already 5e but not in BG3. If we can't get dodge, then I agree with Firesnakearies for other bonus actions, provided I read their feedback correctly.



Dodge is nice, and should definitely be in the game, but as a normal action. I suggested Cunning Action: Dodge as a possible replacement ability for Rogues, but that could be too powerful. Only Monks can normally use Dodge as a bonus action, and they have to spend Ki, a limited resource, to do it.

Letting someone bonus action Dodge every single round could be overpowered, I'm not sure.
