📋 About This Mod
Now updated to work on any buff! As well as featuring MCM integration with simple and intuitive customization.
Also works without mcm if you really want to, you can customize it yourself in the .json file.
Load order shouldn't matter.
Safe to install/uninstall mid playthrough.
For those who don't know; The exploit is that you get a hireling to cast warding bond a buff on you, then have it leave the party, that way you get the buff from warding bond, without the downside or wasted spell slots.
