📋 About This Mod
PATCH 7 READY
WHAT'S INCLUDED...
- Brand New Abilities
- Improved Stats
- Reworked Sniff
- Bug Fixes
You and Scratch have trained day and night to develop some new tricks to aid in your adventures. Scratch can now utilize several new dogbilities and passives both in and out of combat that will help to control the battlefield and protect the party.
-
[]Several new dog abilities, all with custom effects and a few more that unlock as you level. Tip: try using Scratch Mark before a Takedown.
[
]Adjusted stats/HP that increase as you level and some new passives to keep them on their paws (without feeling overpowered).[]Reworked Scratch's Sniff so they stop running off into traps! Will now alert you, sniff in place then point towards the hidden treasure.
[]Reworked Summon Spell with new visual effects that fit the mod's color theme and gives you unlimited out of combat summons.
- Includes some game bug fixes like giving Scratch a normal melee range, no more summon soft locks, enlarged now works correctly, etc.
You can find a full detailed breakdown of the stats and abilities here.
This mod is compatible with Scratch Variety and highly recommended. It is also compatible with any mod that doesn't mess with Scratch specifically.
You can uninstall this mod at any time without breaking your save. You may see two Scratch's in your camp after but the duplicate won't return after taking a long rest. Note that I've only personally tested this with Vortex and cant guarantee the same results if installed with BG3MM or manually installed.
