Flail of the Holy Crusader

Description

Flail of the Holy Crusader is the third and final entry in my legendary off-hand flail series.

The original design goal was simple: I wanted to see what a flail version of the Blood of Lathander might look like. From there, the project grew into a custom legendary weapon built around the idea of a sacred battlefield relic carried by a holy warrior into battle against fiends and the undead.

The weapon's model was created from modified in-game assets, with custom work performed in Blender to transform the original components into a functioning flail while retaining normal chain movement and weapon physics.

As with the other flails in the series, the goal was not to create a weapon covered in a mile-long list of bonuses. The Flail of the Holy Crusader is intended to be powerful enough for endgame use while having a clear identity of its own: divine protection, light, and occasional dramatic judgment against creatures that should probably have stayed in the darkness.

It is designed primarily as a legendary off-hand weapon for Paladins, Clerics, martial holy characters, or anyone else who feels that evil could occasionally benefit from being hit in the face with a sacred object attached to a chain.

This mod is completely standalone.

Installation instructions

Install using your preferred Baldur's Gate 3 mod manager.

BG3 Mod Manager: Import the downloaded ZIP, move the mod to your active load order, and export the load order to the game.

The weapon is added to the Tutorial Chest. On an existing playthrough, the Tutorial Chest can be summoned using the usual Tutorial Chest summoning methods/mods.

The mod should be safe to add to an existing game.

Main features

Legendary +3 Off-Hand Flail

The Flail of the Holy Crusader is intended specifically for off-hand use and grants Two-Weapon Fighting, allowing the wielder to add their ability modifier to the damage of their off-hand attacks.

Divine Light

The flail can radiate Divine Light in a 6 m / 20 ft radius.

Divine Light illuminates the surrounding area, protects against the weaker effects of the Shadow Curse, and forces nearby fiends and undead in combat to make Constitution saving throws or become Blinded. Creatures that resist the light are temporarily protected from repeated saves.

Divine Light can be freely toggled on or off and automatically ends when the weapon is unequipped.

Suffer Not the Wicked

Striking a fiend or undead creature with the flail has a 10% chance to invoke the relic's judgment.

The target makes a DC 16 saving throw, with the result depending upon the nature o
