📋 About This Mod

REQUESTS & ME

This is entirely homebrew content, based on homebrew lore, homebrew TTRPG ruleset and world-setting and I intend it to stay as such, as it gives me creative freedom entirely, without having to deal with 'but, but, but, that's not how it is in D&D' people.

I am specifically not interested in making it more based on D&D lore. Please stop asking me and allow me to create my mod in peace, in the way I actually want to. Thank you.

PREMISE

This mod is a a personal work of love. Having been a long-time Tabletop RPG player, I wanted to bring my Tabletop RPG character to Baldur's Gate 3, since the modding tools and game were released. This is second version of my mod, that has expanded on the theme far more, than the original version.

Both my character, her race and 'class' (bloodline, really) originate from original world-setting and original TTRPG system, that my husband created over two decades ago, during his time in college for his friends and subsequently, when we met, for me. This mod is my attempt to create the characters, their signature abilities and perks for Baldur's Gate 3, within the confines of D&D, that BG3 runs on.

Originally, this was going to be a personal mod, for my playthrough, but apparently, people want to be able to shapeshift to Dragon, so... sharing is caring, as they say. The mod is in no way perfect and when you download my mod, take it 'as is', with the imperfections that may be involved.

Dedicated to my husband and lifetime soul-mate, Xeen, as a homage to his work, that brought an original, fantastic TTRPG lore, world-setting and system to life.

Also for the fact that he also still hangs out with me, even after twenty years of us being together. (lol)
