📋 About This Mod
THE MOD IS DISCONTINUED!With the release of Patch 7, it is now possible to enable Honour ruleset outside of Honour difficulty. That largely eliminates the need for this mod.
I also stepped away from BG3 modding for the time being, so there's that.
There probably won't be any future updates.
Why?
Honour difficulty presents itself as a more difficult version of tactician. Not only you are limited to a single save file, but it also introduces a new mechanic - Legendary Actions, as well as number of balance changes that aim to make the game more balanced. In particular, Honour aims to fix, or at least nerf, the infamous Damage Rider Source damage mechanic. Personally, I liked the changes quite a lot, new legendary actions in particular. However, the problem is, all of that is attached to the single save file feature of Honour, which I personally dislike. To this end, I made this mod.
What?
What this mode does is simple. It moves all the "extra" features of Honour difficulty to the base game. They will be available in any difficulty, though this mod is intended for Tactician. With it, the only difference between Honour and Tactician will be single save limit.
Keep in mind that this mod does not contain any Tactician changes in it. While made with Tactician in mind, you can play with it on any difficulty, be it Balanced, Tactician or Custom.
Another thing: legendary actions from Honour difficulty are implemented as passives in the game. So, if you run any mods that change enemies, the legendary action passives may not be present.
Almost all of the changes are bundled within the main mod. But there's also a small optional add-on - Honour's treasure tables. It appears that Honour also makes slight changes to item drops in the game. The changes seem to be largely related to alchemy reagents. Not entirely sure what the changes are, but I presume that you either find less of them, or at higher levels than normal. That particular change I decided to make optional.
Another small extra mod is Honour Nerfs Reversal. It reverts the nerfs honour mode makes to everything Extra Attack and Haste related. It can also be used without the main mod if you're playing on honour difficulty.
Installation & Requirements
This mod requires Mod Fixer and Script Extender. Otherwise, install it as normal with your mod manager (I recommend BG3MM).
This mod unlocks Honour difficulty features, such as legendary actions, for use in the base game. It's for players who want the extra challenge and mechanics without committing to Honour mode. With 1,519 endorsements and 141,635 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak.

For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want the extra challenge of Honour mode's legendary actions but don't want the single-save permadeath. Also great for those who've beaten Honour mode and want to bring those mechanics into custom runs. Skip if you're happy with standard difficulty or want new content rather than tweaks.
