Corrupting Bolt - A Necrotic Guiding Bolt Alternative - Multiple Versions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: This mod is included in Liber Profanus - Symbo's Necrotic Spells - Volume 1.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrupting Bolt - a Necrotic version of Guiding Bolt for all Clerics.

Version A works the same as vanilla Guiding Bolt:

• []4d6 Necrotic Damage

  []Upcastable to level 6, each level adding 1d6 Necrotic

  []New status effect - Corrupting Bolt

  []Custom VFX config for both the spell itself and the target status effect visual (makes it into more of an actual bolt instead of a slow-moving orb)

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Version B makes the status duration scale gradually:

  • []Every 2 Spell Levels above the first, an extra attack is granted advantage

    []At Spell Level 9, all attacks against the target have advantage until the end of your next turn

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Version C is a faster scaling version of Version B, with an extra bonus:

    • []Changes School of Magic to Necromancy

      []New Icon as seen in  Liber Profanus - Symbo's Necrotic Spells - Volume 1

      []Every Spell Level above the first, an extra attack is granted advantage

      []At Spell Level 5, all attacks against the target have advantage until the end of your next turn

    • At Spell Level 6 and above, all attacks against the target (within 30m) are guaranteed to critically strike until the end of your next turn

      I was hesitant to add the Level 6+ effect at first, then I remembered Hold Person exists.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Use only one version.

      Works fine in my 500+ mod list, shouldn't cause any issues, though it merges with the level 1 Cleric spell list.

      I recommend a manual download and using LaughingLeader's BG3 Mod Manager for installation; I've never used Vortex for BG3 so I have no idea how to troubleshoot any issues with it.
