📋 About This Mod
UPDATE: The optional file is a replacer for the old one, which adds functionality with my second mod in the series, adding them all into one package!
Hello everyone! After a solid hiatus, I am here to bring you part 1 of my multi part Bloodborne series of mods! The theme of this one? Weapons!
In this mod we have 14 melee weapons, 4 ranged weapons, and a stack of 20 blood vials to replenish your stores while on the hunt.
The trick weapons can all be switched from their base mode to the alternate one without using an action, and doing so will give you a status for 1 turn that allows you to make a weapon attack as a bonus action that deals a bit of extra damage. This was the closest I could get to the transformation attacks that exist within Bloodborne, and it works pretty well. All of the transformation animations are the same, with the exception of the Holy Moonlight Sword, because there's actually an animation in BG3 that is perfect for what the blade is shifted in Bloodborne. I didn't add crazy abilities or passives to these weapons, merely a couple of fitting passive effects and scaling that grows as you do. If a weapon is normally versatile in BG3, it is not in this mod, as most weapons in Bloodborne are one handed. Meaning you could dual wield them, but the trick weapon ability gets a little weird sometimes when used while holding two weapons.
What weapons? I'm glad you asked.
Melee Weapons:
[]Beast Cutter - unfortunately, whips don't exist in BG3, so this is the only weapon that doesn't have a trick weapon feature in the game, despite having on in Bloodborne. The beast cutter is one of my favorite weapons in Bloodborne though, so I wanted to include it. To that end, I made it a greatsword with reach, so it can smack your foes a bit farther away than normal
[]Beasthunter Saif - battleaxe in base form, and a halberd when transformed
[]Bloodletter - goes from a mace to a maul that has extra reach, because the transformed Bloodletter is absolutely massive in Bloodborne. As a warning: transforming the Bloodletter deals damage to you just as it does in Bloodborne, so transform with care. It does, however, deal extra necrotic damage when transformed and only hits you once for the health reduction
[]Boom Hammer - a weapon that doesn't get enough love in my opinion but doesn't have an alternate form. Instead, when using the trick weapon passive, it will ignite and deal extra fire damage
[]Burial Blade - transforms from a longsword to a scythe (halberd)
[]Chikage - goes from a longsword to a greatsword. As with the Bloodletter, transforming the Chikage damages you, but unlike the Bloodletter, the Chikage does so every turn. It deals more necrotic damage than the Bloodletter to make up for this, but as in Bloodborne, this is a dangerous weapon to utilize if you aren't paying attention. ***DO NOT UNEQUIP THE TRANSFORMED CHIKA
