One of the risks of melee combat in Baldur’s Gate 3 is enemy’s attacking when you try to flee, which you can avoid with the Disengage action. This will protect you from Attacks of Opportunity, which most enemies can perform whenever you move out of their melee range, giving them a free attack against you character.
If you use Disengage on your turn, it will cost an Action, but when you move out of or through an enemy’s melee range, they won’t get a free attack against you. As it costs an Action, you won’t be able to use most of your attacks on the same turn you Disengage, which is the price you pay for safety. Bear in mind that Rogues can Disengage as a Bonus Action when they get to level 2, making it less costly for them to move around the battlefield.
