📋 About This Mod

Requires Compatibility Framework.

A little mod I made that gives Drow some minor passives for flavor. This applies to the player and should also add the passives to Minthara but I haven't had a chance to test that yet. Let me know if she doesn't have them. I made this for myself and decided to share, so I don't intend to change anything. If this isn't your vibe just don't use the mod. If you want to use these in your own mod, go for it.

Drow Resistance and Keen Senses:

This is the version I recommend using. They're pretty minor passives that give a little flavor. Supports Astralities' Elven Anthology.

Sunlight Sensitivity and Born in the Dark:

Disclaimer: I'm offering this as is because I spent way too much time on it. I did my best but it behaves weirdly on occasion because of the way the Sunlight condition works (which is not very well). What Larian defines as "Sunlight" is wonky and doesn't differentiate day and night (the game always thinks it's daytime in camp as far as sunlight is concerned). I tried very hard to add conditions to work around this but it probably won't ever work quite as intended without mod tools. I did add obscurity conditions to work around some of the original Sunlight Sensitivity jank, so you shouldn't have sensitivity while standing in magical darkness, etc.

That being said, it does mostly work correctly. You will need to step into shadows once for the status to appear, then you should always be able to tell which buff you have in your statuses. Born in the Dark is based on obscurity, not darkness of the magical variety.

I've had reports that this part doesn't work anymore, so YMMV. It will remain available but will not be updated.
