📋 About This Mod
I had some issues with "Bags, Bags, Bags" causing the book to disappear at some point, and I wasn't able to reassign it with Cheat Engine before Act 3. So, I made this mod to easily move the book to the character I wanted, while also setting the correct story flags. I thought I'd share it here via MCM, in case anyone runs into similar problems.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (69k downloads, 63 endorsements) shows real demand for this fix.
- Solves a specific annoyance—getting the Thay book stuck on the wrong character—without breaking the quest.
- Covers multiple related items (Danse Macabre, Codex Blessing) in one mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires MCM, so you're adding a dependency just for this utility.
- Last updated August 2025—might not be tested against the latest hotfixes.
For BG3 players who hate having quest items locked to a specific character, especially if you respecced or swapped party members mid-playthrough. Skip if you never touch MCM or don't care about inventory management.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure MCM is installed and loaded before this mod, or the menu options won't appear.
- Use the MCM menu to select the target character—don't try to use the book directly after reassigning.
- If you're mid-quest, save before reassigning to avoid breaking the Thay dialogue triggers.
