BG3 Savage Attacker Feat

Info on the Savage Attacker BG3 Feat. Tips, when to use, is it worth it, is it good?

Savage Attacker is a Feat in Baldurs Gate 3. Here's a short guide on it on what it does (and clarifications), as well as "is Savage Attacker good?" "is Savage Attacker worth it?".

Savage Attacker Effects

As per the in-game description: When making weapons attacks, you roll your damage dice twice and use the highest result..

Savage Attacker mechanics clarifications

Is this Advantage? Kind of, but for DAMAGE ROLLS instead.

Does it stack with Advantage? Yes, since Advantage typically works on Attack Rolls. Once the highest there is selected, then the higher of your Damage Rolls are selected.

In 5E this only works on one attack per turn, but in BG3 it can be used on all!

Is Savage Attacker worth it?

So, is Savage Attacker good? When would you take Savage Attacker? It's good - but keep reading... REACHING 20 ON YOUR DAMAGE STAT IS PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT - as it gives accuracy. This works on ALL ATTACKS (unlike 5E), so it becomes an extremely valuable trait especially when attacking multiple times a turn. Imagine it like this, if the feat read "Get +2 damage forever", would it be good? +1? +3? At which point would you consider this good? For me, even at just a +2 (hopefully +3) it would be worth it.

If you have 20 in your weapon attack stat, and want no other feats, then this becomes juicy.
