What is a bonus action in bg3?

A bonus action in Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3) is a quick, secondary action you can take once per turn, distinct from your main Action, allowing for more tactical flexibility, with examples including dual-wielding off-hand attacks, casting certain spells (like Healing Word), jumping, hiding, dashing, shoving, dipping weapons, and using specific class features (like a Rogue's Cunning Action). You only get a bonus action if something specifically grants you one, and they are crucial for maximizing your turn's effectiveness.
