Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Off hand attacks accuracy after latest patch

Hello,

Just reporting that currently off-hand attacks are NOT getting the ability modifier added to their attack roll (accuracy, to hit).

The off-hand attacks are also getting their ability modifier added to damage.

This is backwards.

The ability modifier should always apply for accuracy reasons, the damage should only be added if the appropriate feat has been selected.

Class abilities for fighter and ranger. There is no feat for that.

I think they mean

PHB:
1. When you take the Attack action
2. and attack with a light melee weapon that you're holding in one hand,
3. you can use a bonus action
4. to attack with a different light melee weapon that you're holding in the other hand.
5. You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Game:
1. Doesnt* require the attack action to have been taken
2. Same
3. Same (albeit forced when using the attack action as it auto makes both attack unless you use the bonus action first, or sneak attack first. BA shouldnt be allowed first and you only get 1 attempt at a sneak, which is also wrong, you can try it until it works)
4. Same
5. Does NOT add modifier to attack and DOES add to damage

Interestingly when you have negative modifier it is also NOT added to off-hand attack roll. This means you have higher chance to hit with bonus off-hand attack than with main-hand attack.
Also Ranger's off-hand attack does not trigger extra damage from Hunter's Mark. Every attack should trigger that extra damage.
And opportunity attack hits with both weapons. I think only one weapon is allowed for opportunity attack.
