Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Subtlety lacking in spellcasting incantations

I have no problem with the special effects... subtle special effects with video games often seem to fall flat.. I mostly just use it as a shorthand for confirming to the player "yes, you did indeed click that power".

That said... I rather hate that Hex triggers combat now.

I'd love to be able to Hex someone's Wisdom before entering conversation with them so that they have disadvantage reading through my Deception.

Also, a memorable thing I did in tabletop was to Hex a Wyvern's wisdom while it was hunting us in a fog and used Minor Illusion (non-concentration) to lure it around in the fog away from my unconscious friend I was trying to drag away. I literally was using Hex to avoid combat.
