📋 About This Mod

Version 1. 9. 2 Released - Added Banishing Smite to Level 10 magical secrets

The goal of this mod is to make changes to various bard mechanics that either work poorly or are unfaithful to the tabletop.

College of Swords

  • []Slashing Flourish (Ranged) is no longer able to target the same enemy twice, this was extremely overpowered and not in the intent of the ability.

    []Slashing Flourish (Melee) is no longer a cone ability, it now lets you select two targets within your melee range instead.

    []Mobile Flourish now lets you teleport to a dead enemy's body if the attack results in their death.

    []Added a missing part of the Blade Flourish feature - When you make a main hand attack of any kind you are granted +3 meters of movement until the end of your turn.

    []Fixed ranged flourish tooltips referring to your melee weapon damage type instead of your ranged weapon damage type.

    []Added missing sound effects to Melee Flourishes.

    []All Flourishes can now also be used as a reaction.

    []Slashing Flourish reaction works as follows - When you use the reaction you are granted a new action letting you attack another target(any target in overpowered version).

    []The range of the bonus attack is based on what kind of attack triggered the reaction.

    []The extra attack is immediately lost if you move or use another attack.

    []Implemented a 1 flourish per turn limit to be in line with tabletop, this feature is not included in the Overpowered version since it would go against its entire purpose.

    []If you don't like either of the nerfs that flourishes received in this mod, the Overpowered version does not include either the targeting limit for Slashing flourishes or the 1 flourish per turn limit.

    College of Valor

    • []Fixed Combat Inspiration bugging out after Level 5, apparently Larian just forgot to add some lines of code.

      []It should work properly now but I haven't tested it extensively so please let me know if there are any further issues.

      Magical Secrets

      • []Now allowed to pick any spell of appropriate level that is currently implemented in the game.

        []If I missed any spell or included a spell that shouldn't be there by mistake please let me know.

        College of Lore proficiencies

        []Now works as in tabletop, you are allowed to pick any 3 skills of your choosing.

        []You need to go back to the first section of t
