🌌Birthsigns of Faerûn – A Zodiac-Inspired Character System🌌
Birthsigns of Faerûn introduces a fully original zodiac-inspired system to Baldur’s Gate 3, offering 12 unique Astral Signs that grant each character a distinctive identity, passive traits, and a powerful ability usable once per long rest.
Inspired by The Elder Scrolls' birthsigns and woven deeply into the Faerûnian calendar, this system adds both mechanical flavor and narrative depth to your playthroughs—without disrupting balance or class identity.
