📋 About This Mod
This mod gives four options for the duration of the Hypnotic condition for the Hypnotic Pattern spell, 4, 6, 8, and 10 turns. Please let me know if there are instances where the duration isn't affected by this change and I will try and update the mod to include those as optional files. For context, D&D 5e has the duration of Sleep set at 10 turns which I'll be using.

✅ Pros

- Four different duration options let you pick your preferred balance between power and balance.
- Decent community traction for a niche spell tweak (68 endorsements).

For Baldur's Gate 3 players who rely on Hypnotic Pattern as a key control spell and want it to last longer without messing with other mechanics. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or want more comprehensive spell modifications.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Since the mod only changes one spell, it's safe to combine with other spell tweaks, but keep an eye on load order if you use multiple mods.
