📋 About This Mod

Fixes the upcasting bug and the Advantage bug of Shadow Blade. One makes it lose its damage bonus whenever any status ends on the weapon and the second incorrectly applies Advantage when it shouldn't.

The first one was because the Upcasting Bonus Damage is programmed to disappear when the ''ownership'' ends. But instead of checking if the actual Caster still has the ownership, it checked the weapon itself (which obviously has no ownership). I fixed this by specifying it to check the Caster, and not the item.

The second one because it incorrectly applied a general Advantage on all attack rolls without checking if the attack came from the Shadow Blade itself as it should.

Some of my other mods

Hexblade's Curse BUGFIX: Fixes the huge bug of the new Hexblade Warlock's Curse that causes it to infinitely stack on the Warlock over the course of a playthrough,

making it increasingly more likely to trigger. Made for Patch 8.

Booming Blade BUGFIX: highly recommended since this helps compensate this nerf.

Booming Blade No Extra Attack Nerf: highly recommended so this cantrip doesn't become too overpowered.

Shadow Blade Upcasting BUGFIX: Fixes the upcasting bug of the new Shadow Blade that makes it lose its damage bonus whenever any status ends on the weapon.

Eldritch Knight Spellcasting Modifier UI BUGFIX : my mod to fix the annoying visual bug that causes the Spellbook and Level-up windows to display the wrong Spellcasting Modifier when playing an Eldritch Knight.

Smart Containers: Adds 6 new backpacks/containers that, similar to the Camp Supplies Sack, automatically add items of the correspondent type. Scrolls, Potions/Elixirs, Poisons/Coatings, Arrows, Grenades/Explosives and Books are supported.
