Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Is this a bug with Savage Attacker?

I'm trying to understand the attack roll numbers here. Laezel has Improved Critical Hit and Elixir of Viciousness which is why the crit occurred with an 18 attack roll. My question has to do with the damage roll. She also has Savage Attacker so I would think the highest 4 values would be used, but this does not seem to be the case.

Can someone help me understand how Savage Attacker actually works. It does not seem to be using the highest values. Edit: She also has Great Weapon Fighting.

The weapon is the Soulbreaker Greatsword(2d6+4) Slashing.

When you reroll dice, you must take the result of the second roll (not the higher of the two).

That's not what the Savage Attacker tooltip says. It also does not make any sense. That would make rolling the first time unnecessary.

Does Laezel have Great Weapon Fighting style? That would add complexity to how it's calculated, and I don't know what the order of operations would be.

That being said, 21 out of 24 damage is very, very high. You can't have any damage d6s at 1 or 2, and at most a single 1d6 on a 3 (with all three other damage d6s being a 6 in that case, 6+6+6+3=21)

The tool tip is confusing at best, and maybe "wrong", perhaps by having old values there not relevant to this roll, but this particular damage roll seems fine to me since it's such a high result, it seems unlikely without some damage rerolls working correctly.
But I can't make any sense of the tooltip - why does it have 13 values? I only can make sense of 10 values - 4 damage dice rolled twice makes 8, and rerolling 1s would make 10. And there are d6s on a 6 with reroll symbols, or cross out lines, which also makes no sense to me.

I think it took two 6s, a 5, and a 4 - that would make 21, out of values you rolled. Why those ones? I have no idea lol

Maybe you could send this to support, and just ask them to explain the tooltip

Yes, she has Great Weapon Fighting. How do you send it to support?

Try the "report a bug" on the game launcher, or https://larian.com/support/faqs/how-to-submit-a-bug-report_85.

You already have screenshots which is helpful. Even if there (somehow) aren't bugs the tool tip should be easier to understand so I hope they figure out a way to do that.
