📋 About This Mod
It started from me seeing Tiktok from @kmshortscake a while ago. I feel like it does make sense for him to basically not getting Psychic damage at all, so I decided to make this mod (same sense with Karlach on fire damage)
What does this mod do?
Give Minsc unique passive - Boo's Protection. This passive grants him immunity to psychic damage and all emotion altering statuses e.g. Frightened, Charmed, Dominated, etc.
This mod works on patch 6-7-8. It adds passive via Osiris and doesn't edit his origin files.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lore-friendly and thematic—Boo looking out for Minsc is exactly what fans want.
- Simple, targeted change that removes frustrating mental CC on a beloved companion.
- Recent update (May 2026) suggests it's maintained for current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Small mod with 39 endorsements—not widely tested, so expect potential conflicts.
- No details on which specific mental conditions are covered—might not include all you want.
- Only affects Minsc, so if you want broader protection, this won't help.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who love Minsc and hate seeing him get mind-controlled or psychic-blasted. If you're tired of babysitting his saves against mental effects, this mod gives you peace of mind. Skip if you want broader party-wide changes or if you rarely use Minsc.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or BG3 Mod Manager to keep track of load order.
- If you're using other Minsc-related mods, place this one after them to ensure the immunity applies.
- Check the mod's page for any compatibility notes—since it's small, it might conflict with overhaul mods that change Minsc's stats.
