📋 About This Mod

This is an extremely minor mod that allows the racial cantrip choices for High Elf and Half High Elf use your class' Spellcasting stat instead of Intelligence. That's all, hope you enjoy!

Installation:

Please save yourself the hassle and just use the BG3 Mod Manager to install. I do not recommend uninstalling this mod at any point during a playthrough. I will be unable to provide troubleshooting assistance if you decide to do so.

Compatibility:

This mod only adjusts the High Elf and Half High Elf Level 1 progressions, as well as the descriptions for each. It should be fully compatible with anything that does not touch those. If incompatibilities or inconsistencies arise, bring them to my attention and I may patch for those if permissions allow.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod changes High Elf and High Half-Elve cantrips to scale with your class's spellcasting ability instead of Intelligence. It's a small quality-of-life fix for players who want their cantrips to match their build. With 124 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional tweak.

✨ Key Features

Cantrips for High Elves and High Half-Elves now use your class's spellcasting ability modifier.
Replaces the default Intelligence-based scaling with class-appropriate scaling.
Compatible with any class that has a spellcasting ability (e.g., Charisma for sorcerers, Wisdom for clerics).

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Makes High Elf cantrips actually useful for non-Intelligence casters (124 endorsements).
  • Simple, focused fix—no bloat, just changes the scaling.
  • Recently updated (September 2024), so it's likely compatible with current game patches.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects High Elf and High Half-Elf cantrips—if you play other races, this does nothing for you.
  • No documentation on installation or compatibility with other mods that alter cantrips.
  • Small niche mod—might not be worth it if you don't play those races often.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who love High Elf or High Half-Elf characters but hate that their cantrips scale with Intelligence when they're playing a sorcerer or warlock. If you're a min-maxer who wants your racial cantrips to synergize with your class, this is a must-have. Skip if you rarely play those races or don't care about cantrip scaling.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no extra setup needed.
  • Test with a new character or respec to see the change in the character sheet.
  • If you have other mods that modify cantrips, load this one after them to ensure it takes effect.
