What does this mod do?
Change Nyrulna's Zephyr Connection passive (3d4 thunder explosion) to hurts only enemies.
"AoE = Area of Enemies" - MaxStrengthWizard
Important Notes
I change how it works from damage everyone in 6 meters radius to damage only target you throw Nyrulna at + their allies.
This means if you misclick and throw it at one of your allies/companions, none of enemies will get damage.
For the love of Ao, I hope you don't. Please throw it at enemies my dear bg3 enjoyers.
Installation/Uninstallation

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly solves a common annoyance with Nyrulna's friendly fire.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says.
- Recently updated (March 2026), so likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Small mod with only 58 endorsements—might not be widely tested.
- Only affects Nyrulna; other AoE weapons still have friendly fire.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who love using Nyrulna but hate accidentally nuking their party members. If you're tired of reloading after a bad AoE, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Nyrulna or prefer to manage positioning carefully.
