📋 About This Mod
CIRCLE OF THE SHEPHERD HAS COME TO BALDUR'S GATE 3!
Circle of the Shepherd was one of the first subclasses I ever wanted to do, so it brings me great pleasure to have finally finished it! It'll probably be the last official Druid subclass I do, since I've already done most of them and the rest is already available. Since this mod relies heavily on summoning a lot of powerful creatures, this mod introduces three new spells not available in the vanilla game to make playing it more interesting: Summon Beast, Conjure Animals, and Summon Fey. More info on these further down.
This subclass offers progression up to level 12. At the moment I do not have any plans to add post-level 12 progression, so please do not ask about it.
Thanks to chanceking for uploading the first version of this subclass (which is what made me postpone working on it on my own until now, to be completely honest) and for the inspiration it brought.
