To me, an effective ambush means everyone attacks at the same time, after which everyone should then properly be added to the initiative order. I would rather take the risk of having one character getting seen (this is where stealth rolls should play a part) and pulled into combat than not be able to set up anything properly. At least with the current system, we can switch to the characters not in combat so they can get their attacks off before joining, as was intended with the ambush plan. It is certainly not ideal but at least it does not kill off a particular playstyle.

By the great turnips god! I think I am in love!

Wish I could make a character looking like that in BG3.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
