Bestow curse Tips & Notes for BG 3

Anonymousso yeah peoples missunderstand the hex bane and curse...
bane deal a -1d4 to attack rolls and saving throw
curse make DISADVANTAGE to ability check and saving throw
hex make a 1d6 necrotic but curse make 1d8! but also hex disadvantaging ability check
so actually only curse disadvantaging the ability check and saving throw (roll 2 dice and use the smaller number)
bane reducing with -1d4 the attack roll and saving throw
and the hex deal 1d6 necrotic + disadvantaging the ability checks...
so in a case curse is the best if you want to increasing the chance to hit with an effect

This feels really bad. Hex is a level 1 equivalent for the damage. And bane is an equivalent for the saves and checks (applies to all saves and checks and targets more creatures)

Works on multihit attack rolls like Eldritch Blast and Scorching Ray but not Magic Missile

RAW bestow curse doesn't require concentration if upcasted at 5th level or higher, does anyone know if this is the case in bg3 as well?
Attack disadvantage lasts 20 turns and Dread lasts 50 turns.
Bestow Curse does what most people think Hex does -- it provides disadvantage vs saving throws (Hex only disadvantages ability checks). So this spell is excellent for helping subsequent spells connect, and you can choose which saving throw to target.
It also has options to add damage (similar to how Hex works, but a better version) or to skip their turn entirely (very strong, but they can roll a WIS save each turn).

If your struggling with some of the harder boss fights with legendary resistance this is the spell for you. Dread makes them make a wis sav every turn or skip their turn. Raphael will break hold monster after 1 round but will keep failing this curse for the whole fight. Any arcane acuity user can quickly push their spell save dc to a point that none of the bosses can pass this check. It locks down the most important threat, works on undead, your swords bard can learn it and cast as bonus action with band of mystic scoundrel. Its not as powerful as hold monster or hold person but for a level 3 spell it will just win those big bad boss fights.
