Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Uncanny Dodge should just be put in Reaction

Currently Uncanny Dodge is an ability that you have to toggle on and off beforehand in Passive, while every other reactions is listed in Reaction and will pop-up a confirmation window when they can be triggered.

Not only is the current way a terrible way to use it, it's also unintuitive, I spent who know how long looking for it in Reaction tab for about half of the campaign, only to find it in passive, when I'm trying to toggle off Sharpshooter: All In on Astarion.

I wouldn't say it's a "terrible way to use it". If anything it's far too convenient, since it's a "fire and forget" you have to activate once and never disable again.

More than anything is a wrong implementation, since UD is supposed to be a REACTION that consume your... well, reaction, and can be activated just once per round, rather than being a passive with no downside whatsoever.

It is a terrible way, because this way you don't get to choose your reaction, and you have to anticipate what is to come first.

Wasting a reaction halving the damage when if you use defensive duelist, you could have avoided the damage all together.

Agreed, but I would also do this with the OP saying that it's presented in unintuitive manner. I would almost end the game without realizing it's here and wondering where is that reaction my two rogues should have, but then that's maybe on me as I'm a person who knows D&D rules and I expected it to be a reaction. ^^"

But that's the ting... Unless they changed something with a recent update, it does NOT use a reaction. In its current implementation it's just a passive buff.
