Recommended Mods

[]Requires Script Extender, the entire thing is one big script.[/]
[]True Initiative, D&D's initiative is supposed to be balanced around rolling a d20, the vanilla game uses a d4. Some of the enemies WILL have the Alert feat, guaranteeing they'll go before you if you don't have it and are rolling with a d4.[/]
[]As there's going to be more experience (unless I make everything not give exp) I recommend a level 20 mod such as Expansion, and will be balancing Act 2 and 3 towards it. I recommend using the Zero Exp optional file if you aren't using a level 20 mod.[/]
Mods that add new encounters are loosely compatible, they work together but may add encounters in the same spots and you may end up with a lot of enemies in places. Maybe that's what you want and in that case go for it, but honour mode/single save is not recommended if you're doing so.

[]Encounters Overhaul - Additional Enemies and Encounters - Patch available[/]
[]Valkrana's Undead Encounters - New Bosses Fights Items and Allies - Including Act 3 - Shouldn't be any overlaps issues[/]
[]Death March - Enemy and Combat Encounters Overhaul - Currently no known overlaps but they don't have a list of everything they added[/]
[]More Mimics - Fully compatible, won't overlap unless you're opening chests in battle but that's on you for being greedy[/]
[]Absolute Wrath - Fully compatible[/]
[]Champions of Faerun - Fully compatible.[/]
