📋 About This Mod
Gives a Vampire Bat polymorph to Astarion outside of the Epilogue. Finally.
(It's really not that strong, I don't know why only Ascended Astarion gets it there.) Lore has been explained in the comments, but I still think it's a little silly.
I wasn't expecting to have to say this, but please don't start discourse in the comments of my silly bat form mod. Thanks.
