Sanctuary and clerics are completely broken because of Larian's laziness

[Hade]

Level 1 spell that makes you invulnerable so all the AI just pass all their turns while you can continue to do damage with Glyph of Warding and Spirit Guardians while casting more sanctuaries on your allies and healing everyone.

I can imagine the meeting they had perfectly, where someone complained how difficult it was to implement Sanctuary from the DnD ruling of requiring a wisdom saving throw and then decided to just make a level 1 spell trivialise the entire game instead because it's easier to code.

I really hope they fix this.

So it's basically just Sanctuary + Blade Barrier from BG2?

I mean, it's the spell Act 3 absolutionists use all the time. Though I admit - it's annoying.

[The One True Nobody!]

Yeah, they forgot to count certain things as "you" harming another creature.
