I do get disadvantage, but I paralized Raphael so every attack in 3m range is auto crit.

frankly its a miracle this game exists. this shit is 11/10 just for the amount of content in here alone.

High level fighters are brutally powerful and I love it.

Seeing people play so much better than me on tactician while i stick to balance and have a struggle with even my party that i try so hard to make good is very concerning like maybe i really am not that smart to play this game if im struggling with regular bosses like that robot in the lava room but eh amazing video i wished that baldurs gate added hidden dialogue if you kill a hard person in few turns like praise you for slaying Raphael as in other comments mentioned each turn is 6 seconds im pretty sure Raphael dying in 12 seconds would be insane to watch happen

He seems to be a level 11 dex based fighter at least, who gets 3 attacks per attack action. He has celestial haste, so gets two actions. He starts with 1 arrow, moves closer for auto-crit now that Raphael is paralyzed. He then does 5 more total attacks, so consumes his 6 total attacks (1 action 1 haste action x 3 attacks each). Then he action surges. So he gets another action, which is attack. He uses the many arrows arrow so he kills one of the minions in the fight which he has an elixir of bloodlust up, so he gets ANOTHER action. So, this allows for 12 total attacks before the NPCs act.
