📋 About This Mod
-
[]A highly configurable interface for player customisation.
[
]A robust array of injuries from 5E and the third-party supplement Grit & Glory by Apostol Apostolov, currently 50 in total excluding re-flavoured effects to match different damage types. (With deviations where needed/suited.)[]A homebrew exhaustion system inspired by multiple others, created to be fitting (IMO) for the BG3 experience.
[]Largely adapted 5E madness tables, both short and long term madness. (With deviations where needed/suited, indefinite madness can't really be adapted outside of TTRPG but that's fine.)
[]This isn't just a system for players, it applies to NPCs if you wish and it's GREAT!
[]An open ended approach to design for other mod authors to develop their own systems.
[]A WIP (but pretty well fleshed out) configuration file set up to get you started! (Separate download, requires manual placement!)
Installation:
-
[]If you're coming from the old Injuries and updating mid-playthrough, you should absolutely run Mod Uninstaller on the dependency The Great Goon Library
[]Install the main Injuries mod the same way you would for any PAK file, into: AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods
[]Download the config.json's zip folder separately and extract it to: AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Script Extender
[]If done properly, it will be like so: Script Extender\Injuries\config.json
[]Use BG3MM, manual modsettings.lsx edit, Vortex, IGMM, MO2, whatever floats your boat for load order management, so long as it's done correctly
[]You're done, ready for play with my default config or for further configuration.
To come:
-
[]Much more information in general
[]Resources for mod authors, including templates and what not
[]More configuration options
[]Additional systems adapted potentially, mainly madness and exhaustion which can plug in to the existing injury system
[]Homebrew injuries to add to the pot
Stretch goals:
[*]Custom material overrides/textures, animations etc. to bett
