📋 About This Mod

This is a very simple mod that fixes all 3 broken instances, in which hiding (sneaking) is supposed to trigger a status.

1. Magical Ambush from Arcane Trickster Subclass

2. Covert Critical from Shade-Slayer Cloak

3. Dread Iron Dagger

These are the sources of such statuses with the broken code.

Note: You can load this mod with Patch 8 without issues. :)

Important:

THIS MOD NEEDS TO BE LOADED AS LATE AS POSSIBLE. Preferably right before Compatibility Framework/various mod patches (which should be loaded last).

If your log does not say anything about receiving Magical Ambush condition - that means that the mod is working. If I didn't turn this off, your combat log would be overflowing with " received condition: Magical Ambush" logs each time your character moved.

To see if you received Magical Ambush condition, look at the statuses next to your character's portrait - its icon should pop up there as usual.

If you're doing a solo run, I am afraid the only way to check if this mod works is to test it by looking at the combat log after you cast a spell while hidden to see, if your targer rolled with a disadvantage.

Also, none of the images on this page belong to me. I took the Magical Ambush icon image from the wiki, and it belongs to Larian Studios. I think that's pretty obvious, but it's better to mention it anyway.

About "better" version that works with (most types of) invisibility:

The "better" version should work with:

  • []One with Shadows

    []Umbral Shroud

    []Potion Of Invisibility

    []Greater Invisibility

    []Cloak Of Shadows

    []Deathstalker Mantle

    []Regular Invisibility

    []Duergar's Invisibility

  • Even Hide In Plain Sight, if like your mods ~unbalanced

Anyway, have fun!
