📋 About This Mod
Just a simple learning mod that helped me figure out how to create a custom race for BG3. Posting this for anyone who likes the Astral Elf mod but prefers the Half-Elf heads and lore. The only real ability change I made was to swap Astral Knowledge for a custom Astral Intuition skill that provides advantage on all Intelligence checks.
