📋 About This Mod
Allows Rogues to benefit from Intelligence or Charisma if they prefer to build around these stats instead of Dexterity.
A good Thief can be many things: cunning, charming, quick with hands, wits, and blades. "Wits and blades, always sharp!"
In BG3 Thieves mainly benefit from being quick with hands and blades: i.e. from the Dexterity ability. In fact, Dexterity is the one skill that almost no one can do without. That's fine, of course. But perhaps you want to play the Rogue class a bit differently and benefit from your other abilities instead of being gimped by a lack of Dexterity? Read on!
Also, this mod modifies only the "Character" file. It does not touch Rogue progression tables or anything to do with Rogues. It will be compatible with anything that doesn't modify the base Hero stats in "Character."
Rogues:
Mechanic: Add your Intelligence modifier to Disarm Traps and Lockpick checks.
Nose for Danger: add your Intelligence modifier to Perception checks to find Traps.
Insightful Strikes: Add your Intelligence modifier to melee damage done with Daggers.
Distracting Charm: add your Charisma modifier to Pickpocket checks.
If you feel this makes things too easy, I will upload a combined version with my Evil Locks and Traps and Better Brutal Pickpocketing.
