If you have been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for a while or have been checking out various Reddit posts chances are you must have come across Radiating Orb in BG3. While it might sound like an item, it in fact is a status effect or rather a condition that affects both your party and mainly the enemies on depending how you use it. But when you use it with the right build and stack its effects, it becomes quite broken. So here is a quick explanation of how it works.
What is Radiating Orb in BG3?
As mentioned before Radiating Orb is a status effect, any entity affected by it has -1 to their Attack Rolls for every remaining turn. Another thing it does is it sheds a bright light on the surrounding area. This light is also considered Daylight, so all the creatures that are sensitive/weak to Sunlight will be affected by this Bright Light.
The best part about Radiating Orb is you can Stack its effects by using other items that apply this condition.
