Larian knows Baldur's Gate 3's D&D combat is super complicated: "We used to joke you basically need a tutorial for every class" (www.gamesradar.com)

If you're on keyboard (I'm sure controller has it but idk the button) the T key will let you hover over keywords to get more information. Ie, if a spell says it paralyzed the enemy, hitting T will let you mouse over "paralyzed" and read how it prevents the enemies from acting, and makes all melee attacks against them crits.

Add to this: the combat log (bottom right) will tell you the result of every die roll, which removes the mystery of why I KEEP MISSING ALL THE TIME.
