📋 About This Mod
Booming blade now does an additional 1d4 --> 2d4 --> 3d4 thunder damage plus a small knockback
All other blade cantrips do the same damage with no knockback but in addition, flaming blade burns, lightning blade electrocutes, and chilling blade lowers movement speed.
Blade Cantrips tweaks the booming blade cantrip in Baldur's Gate 3, adding fire, cold, and lightning variants while correctly tagging it as thunder to trigger passives like Heart of the Storm. A small but focused spell mod for players who want elemental variety.
