📋 About This Mod

Encounters are of various types and difficulties

In this mod you'll find;

Standard encounters

Breadcrumbs to promote exploration

Flavour, adding to the overall game world

Additions to base game fights

Randomly spawned mimics

Scripted events

Mini-bosses

Optional Hard Mode for Vanilla Bosses

Scripted boss fights

The primary goal of this mod is to be immersive and fun first and foremost, not necessarily just add difficulty.

Can be installed mid-game but it's possible some fights may not trigger correctly.

Can be uninstalled mid-playthrough, but it's not really recommended.

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.[/]

Compatibility With Other Mods

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.[/]
