📋 About This Mod

Why, Larian?

Something non-modders might not be aware of is just how tangled up a lot of Larian's entries are. If you do some changes to Shillelagh they might impact functionality of the spells from Phalar Aluve, if you edit Hex in a way where it becomes a "Shout" instead of a "Target" spell (looking at you Valdacil's Spell Adjustments (Vanilla and 5E Spells)) you might break basically every ranged pull action in the game.

This mod serves as a way to to get rid of these completely out of pocket interactions where an author editing entry A breaks entry B. For the entries this mod edits it's simply doing one thing, taking all of the fields that would have been inherited from another entry and adding them directly, while lopping off the undesirable inheritance. Cases where this mod's implementation cause issues for you will be exceedingly rare, assuming the load order section below is understood.

I will add many more entries to this mod as I find them, this stuff has especially been a pain to deal with as I've worked on Goon's Spell Overhaul. While I could just make the changes here inside my relevant mods it could cause so many compatibility and load order complications that are simply avoided by making this and setting it as a dependency.

If you're an author, or just someone who is aware of any interactions that this mod ought to fix, I'm all ears; more than willing to fix more examples of undesirable inheritance in this mod.
