Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Chromatic Orb question

Bigger problem:

Chromatic Orb is an attack roll spell... this menas it is a Precision spell.

However,

Other than thunder, you CANNOT use it as a precision spell, to ping a hostile enemy that your allies are in melee with - because it creates a splash puddle that will electrocute/burn/melt/prone your friends as well. They've functionally undermined the entire niche purpose of the spell.
