📋 About This Mod
Compatibility patch between Book of Rogues - 5e Rogue Subclasses (version 1. 0. 0. 2) by IncogneatoBurrito and Cunning Strike and UA6 Swashbuckler (version 1. 6. 1) by wesslen.
THIS IS ONLY A COMPATIBILITY PATCH, YOU REQUIRE THE 2 MODS MENTIONED. Load the patch below both mods in your load order. Will probably need an update if any of those mods are updated.
List of changes :
- Removed all the superfluous Sneak Attack entries, so you have only the two Sneak Attack (Melee) & Sneak Attack (Ranged) improved versions from wesslen's mod, that now allow you to use Wails from the Grave for Phantom, work with Insightful Fighting, Eye for Weakness and Sudden Strike.
- All of the Cunning Strike interrupts ("Disarm", "Trip", "Poison" and "Withdraw") now correctly work with the aforementioned passives.
- Inheriting all the changes from wesslen's mod :
- Sneak Attack can now be used both once on your own turn and once on another character's turn if you can get a reaction attack (as in D&D.)
- Sneak Attack used from the action bar no longer consumes the Sneak Attack attempt if you miss.
- The reaction is no longer blocked by invisibility or appearance-changing effects that let you keep your weapons.
- The reaction no longer applies damage riders, regardless of difficulty (BG3 only behaves correctly in Honour mode.)
I didn't extensively test the level 17 features as I don't have my modlist set up to reach those levels.
