Autocast Daily Spells

Description

This mod lets you schedule a 'morning routine' for each party member, such as casting buffs like Longstrider, Heroes' Feast, or Shield of Thralls. They can also summon familiars, bond to a weapon, reapply Speak with Dead, and much more!

When a character learns a supported ability, they will be given that ability's autocasting item. The item has the same icon as the ability and is collected in the character's Magically Inert Bag. To schedule them to autocast some of their abilities after a Long Rest, move the corresponding autocasting items to their Bag of Autocasting.

If an ability requires you to choose a target, then you will be given more than one autocasting item for it. The normal autocasting item (the Casting Item) needs to go in the caster's Bag of Autocasting, and at least one Target Item (which will have an aiming reticle over the ability icon) needs to go into the target character's bag.

For basic use, that's all you need to know! This process is also shown in the mod images at the top of the page. If you want to learn more, see the Additional Details section below.

Compatibility

In my testing, this mod is safe to add to existing saves.

This mod does not override any resources, so in theory it should be compatible with everything. However, there might be unexpected behaviors if combined with mods that change any of the supported spells or that scripts different character behavior immediately after a Long Rest.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though this mod should be compatible with mods that add new spells, it will probably not support autocasting for them. This includes not being able to autocast with spell slots above Level 6. If you made a spells mod and want to add autocasting support, please do! The details can get complicated depending on how the spells work, but it's primarily just adding facts to a handful of Osiris databases. Feel free to unpack this mod and reference its script (I tried to leave lots of comments that describe how it works) or to ask questions.

Game Balance

This mod does not alter game balance as much as possible. There are a couple of very small ways that you can exploit it, but practically speaking it doesn't make the game any easier. Just, more convenient.

For example, you can autocast spells that a caster does not have prepared because there's no cost to changing prepared spells outside of combat.

Likewise, characters who are not currently in the party can also autocast spells because there's no cost to swapping them in and out. The only limitation her
