✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Keeps Astarion's iconic claw attacks when you multiclass him into Monk or Barbarian—perfect for roleplay.
- Tiny mod, so it's easy to install and unlikely to conflict with other tweaks.
- Fresh update (Dec 2025) means it's probably compatible with the latest patch.
⚠️ Cons
- Very niche—only affects Astarion and only if you make him a Monk or Barbarian.
- Low endorsement count (26) suggests it's not widely tested or popular.
- No documentation on whether it works with other class mods or respecs.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who love Astarion's vampire flavor and want to keep his claw attacks when playing him as a Monk or Barbarian. Skip if you don't use Astarion or prefer ranged/weapon builds.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after other gameplay overhauls to avoid overwriting animation changes.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable it and let it sort your load order automatically.
- Test in a save where Astarion is already a Monk or Barbarian to see the animations immediately.
