BG3 Spell Sniper - Feat

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

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

Spell Sniper Effects

As per the in-game description: You can learn a cantrip, and the number you need to roll a Critical Hit while attacking is reduced by 1. This effect can stack..

Has a pre-requisite(s): The ability to cast at least one spell.

Spell Sniper mechanics clarifications

Critical Hits occur on a roll of 20. With this feat, "spells" crit on 19 and 20.

UNKNOWN: Given the wording of the feat, it would suggest ALL damage types... that can't be true, right? It would be extremely powerful...

Is Spell Sniper worth it?

So, is Spell Sniper good? When would you take Spell Sniper? Yes, this is one of the best feats in BG3. If your character uses spell damage primarily, then this is always good.

A free cantrip is never something to be sad about, haha. There's always one you can potentially use.

Again, the critical part of the feat - I honestly don't know if it applies to regular attacks as well. I assume the wording on the feat HAS to be a typo - it should be spells only. Otherwise, wow, this feat would be OP.
