Resuscitation

Do you feel like Revivify scrolls make death a little too easy to undo?

With this mod, Scrolls of Revivify have now become rare treasures, as they should be. Once an easy fallback for adventurers across Faerun, their scarcity now makes each scroll a precious find. With their spawn chance reduced by up to 50%, players will need to think carefully before relying on these scrolls in dire situations. Meanwhile, the art of resuscitation has spread across the land. Sword Coast medic sailors have discovered a new technique, allowing those skilled or proficient in Medicine to revive the recently fallen, though not without risk. Now, every decision—whether to trust in a scroll, seek out a medic, or attempt resuscitation yourself—carries the weight of possible failure and harsh consequences.

The newly discovered Resuscitate skill offers a chance to bring back allies from recent death, but success is far from guaranteed. This spell is deeply tied to the caster’s Medicine skill, with the difficulty of each resuscitation attempt scaling dynamically based on Medicine proficiency and the caster's Wisdom modifier. The DC (Difficulty Class) for the skill check is determined by the caster’s Wisdom score, with higher Wisdom reducing the difficulty of the roll, as shown in the table below:

In a world where Scrolls of Revivify are much harder to come by, healers across Faerun have begun to spread the knowledge of Resuscitate. These medic bulletins are brittle, passed through many hands, and now carefully hidden in key locations.

With this mod, resuscitations come with a thrilling chance of failure. Characters who survive the ordeal are left temporarily weakened by a -2 Constitution debuff and are unable to take bonus actions or reactions. This Weakness condition lasts until the character rests or waits for the effect to expire naturally. Additionally, near the body of a freshly dead ally, a notification will alert players if the fallen party member still has a chance to be brought back to life, ensuring that resuscitation opportunities aren't missed.

For those seeking a more balanced and immersive gameplay experience, this mod heightens both the challenge and strategic depth of Baldur’s Gate 3. Whether you're scouring the land for a rare scroll or mastering the resuscitation spell, every choice will now matter more than ever.

Perfect for players who crave greater immersion, tougher decisions, and a gameplay experience that rewards skill, preparation, and tactical foresight.

The first hint of this unorthodox method lies aboard the Nautiloid, waiting for the curious to find it. Others are rumored to be near Nettie in Act I, Abdirak in Act I, and Jaheira in Act II—waiting for those seeking to master the art of resuscitation.
