--------------------------------------
This is a Homebrew mod.
Blight Warden is a Fighter subclass I made after getting back into Baldur's Gate 3 and wanting to play a Dark Urge poison tank.
I wanted something durable, corruptive, and unpleasant to stand next to: a front-line Fighter who punishes melee attackers, spreads poison through the battlefield, and becomes harder to kill as the fight gets uglier. I couldn't find a mod that hit that exact fantasy, so I built this one.
The subclass focuses on Constitution, armour, retaliation, and a new stacking debuff: Blight Taint.
Core Features
- New Fighter subclass: Blight Warden
- New resource: Ichor, restored on Short Rest
- Custom Icons for everything
- New 5-stage debuff: Blight Taint
- Poison retaliation against melee attackers
- Armour/shield-based damage reduction
- Poison weapon buff
- Miasma aura control tool
- Self-healing through Carrion Feast
- Poison Resistance bypass at higher level
- No Script Extender required
Blight Warden DC
Most Blight Warden saving throws use:
8 + Proficiency Bonus + Constitution modifier
Blight Taint
All Blight Warden techniques are built around Blight Taint: a 5-stage poison debuff that your abilities apply, worsen, consume, or rupture.
Blight Taint lasts 2 turns. Applying it again worsens it by 1 stage and refreshes the duration.
Each stage reduces Movement Speed by 1m and deals 1d4 Poison damage at the start of the target's turn.
At Stage III and above, it also refreshes Poisoned for 2 turns.
At Stage V, it also applies Dazed and Goaded for 1 turn.
Ichor is a short-rest resource used to fuel stronger Blight Warden techniques.
Level 3: 3 Ichor
Level 5: 4 Ichor
Level 7: 5 Ichor
Level 9: 6 Ichor
Level 13: 7 Ichor
Level 17: 8 Ichor
*Ichor can be restored by consuming Blight Taint V with Carrion Feast: Devour.

When an enemy hits you with a melee attack
Blight Warden adds a Constitution-based poison tank Fighter subclass for Baldur's Gate 3, designed for Dark Urge-style frontline play. It introduces Blight Taint mechanics to spread poison, punish melee attackers, and rot enemies while wearing heavy armor. A niche but focused class mod with 17 endorsements and recent updates.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh take on Fighter with poison tank fantasy—perfect for Dark Urge runs.
- Constitution-based design means tanky builds get a new strategic layer.
- Recently updated (June 2026) so likely compatible with current patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (17) suggests it's still a niche, unproven mod.
- No detailed documentation on how Blight Taint works or synergizes with existing abilities.
- Limited to Fighter class—if you don't play Fighter, this mod is useless.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who love Dark Urge roleplay and want a tanky, poison-themed Fighter subclass. If you enjoy unconventional builds that punish enemies for hitting you, this is worth a try. Skip if you prefer ranged or caster classes—this is purely a melee tank experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a class mod, make sure to check that it's compatible with other class mods you have installed to avoid conflicts.
- When creating a new character, select the Blight Warden subclass from the Fighter class list—it won't apply to existing characters unless you respec.
- If you're using mod manager, load order matters—place this mod after other class overhauls to ensure it takes effect.
