📋 About This Mod

For class icons you'll need the latest ImprovedUI + ImprovedUI Assets and do not use any other mod that updates datatemplates.xaml

Why? Every mod that adds custom class icons will override each other since they use custom xaml files (unless they also rely on ImprovedUI Assets). The only fix is for all those other mods to give their icons over to ImprovedUI Assets. And they'll do it even if they're just in the mods folder, activated or not.

Mods that are in the game folder and overwrite system files might also prevent some skills from working correctly.

Keep in mind ImprovedUI is only needed for class icons.

You also might want Script Extender for the subclass compatibility framework and for a little fix we had to make to the Drake animation after loading a save.

Of course this mod is compatible with the subclass compatibility framework.

Introduction

Your connection to the natural world takes the form of a draconic spirit, which can manifest in physical form as a drake. As your powers grow, your drake grows as well, blossoming from a small four-legged companion to a majestic winged creature large and strong enough for you to ride. Along the way, you gain an increasing share of the awe-inspiring power of dragons.

The Drakewarden is one of the most interesting subclasses in the game. Not only it comes with a dragon pet, but also with dragon abilities.

I've also added 3 Draconic Gifts. You can get them from various vendors in all 3 acts: Blacksmith Dragonborn and Tribunal Dragonborn in Act 3, Hobgoblin

in Underdark Act 1, Harper Quartermaster in Act 2.

  • []Familiar: allows you to summon a Drake that grows with your main character level (doesn't become as strong and as big as the Drakewarden

    one).[]Rebirth: allows you to transform into any color of Dragonborn and any body type (doesn't allow genital selection unfortunately, only 20

    presets).

  • Frightful Presence: frighten enemies in a very large area for 10 turns.

    For additional info and changes check the official repository.
