📋 About This Mod
Baldur's Gate 3 does not implement the concept of "taking the Attack action" correctly and instead essentially counts anything with a weapon attack roll as a weapon attack made as part of the Attack action - including attack cantrips like Green-Flame Blade. This is overpowered if you use weapon attack cantrips from characters with the Extra Attack feature.
There are other mods intended to solve the same problem, but at time of writing they are all outdated and break Extra Attack to some degree, either in general or specifically in Honour mode.
Unlike similar mods, this one doesn't contain copy-pasted parts of the game code that go out of date when the game is updated or when Honour mode is enabled. Instead, the current logic is patched on game startup using Script Extender, making the required changes on the fly.
It also handles the tags used by Extra Attack Compatibility (EAC) and can be used as a replacement for EAC.
Compatibility
Not compatible with Zerd's Rules as Written (RAW), which makes conflicting changes to Extra Attack.
Not compatible with Unleashed War Magic 1. 0 or Smart War Magic 1. 1, which are both outdated.
Not compatible with Extra Attack Compatibility (EAC), Sword Meets Sorcery - Core or older versions of Extra Attack Fix from Mirror Blade, but should instead be used as a replacement for them.
