Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Why does Call Lightning do half damage against lightning-weak enemies?

There's an almost absurd amount of items with increase spell DC though. You can easily get to ~25-26 on a Wizard and even higher on a Sorcerer. So landing debuffs is definitely doable.

According to the WIki the Steel Watchers also have Advantage on Dexterity Saving Rolls though, that is pretty harsh.

But it shows how those custom Larian items and illithid powers lead to an arms race with almost every enemy in Act III having insane stats and/or the absurd Unstoppable buff to compensate.
