Why doesn't "Hold person” trigger a combat? (self.baldurs_gate_3)

I just recast until it succeeds and one-turn kills the victim with the guaranteed critical hits. What did they think I'm trying to do to them with "Hold person"?

For a second I read 'combo' instead of 'combat', and was very confused as to how I never found out about the 'Baldur's Gate 3 Combo Mechanic'

The main BG3 Combo Mechanic is water bottles/create water spell + cold/electric spells.

Hunh. I thought the salient mechanic meta was: sneak attack per character until all targets are neutralized and combat never initiates as all possible adversaries are dead before it could trigger... 🤷🏼‍♂️
