When to Use Guidance in Baldur’s Gate 3
As with manySpells inBaldur’s Gate 3, there may be times when you are unsure of when to use Guidance to get the most value or how it functions when used. Guidance is a Cantrip, meaning it does not consume a Spell Slot of any kind and can be Cast endlessly without repercussions. Guidance adds an extra +1d4 to any rolls and skills checks performed by the character upon which the Guidance Cantrip is cast, which gives them a very significant boost in their chances of meeting or beating their rolls.
Because Guidance is a Cantrip, you should be looking to use this perk whenever and wherever you may, which will be pretty much any time someone has to make a roll of any sort. As long as the character who wields Guidance is within range of the character performing the check, you will have the option to add Guidance on the dice roll menu. This can be done by selecting the + button under the Total Bonus section and then selecting Guidance from the list of options that appear. You will then gain an additional +1d4 toyour dice roll, and you can continue to repeat this for any roll that you make moving forward with the rest of your playthrough.
