📋 About This Mod
This Mod require BG3 Script Extender
You can easy install it through BG3MM by selecting "Tools" at the top and "Download and extract script extender"
Description
Add shield bash as an action. It can be used for either prone target or shove it.
Shield Bash is automatically added to the hotbar when you equip a shield.
There's two versions of the mod, Version A add it as a normal Action and can be part of an extra attack action, Version B add it as a Bonus Action and can't be part of an extra attack action.
Both versions are obviously incompatible, but you can change from one to the other at any moment without issues.
Shield Bash in this mod is a separate action from the game interrupt one and doesn't touch it in any way. It also works slight different and use a ST of target strenght against user Maneuver DC. I think Maneuver DC is more fitting here for coherence, as it's used by almost all game weapon actions.
Compatibility
It will work for any base game or modded shield (As long as it's shield as equipment type, but i doubt you can create a working shield that isn't).
Installation
BG3 Mod Manager is recommended. Remember to have BG3 script extender too.
Use either the Vortex Mod Manager or the BG3 Mod Manager and install this mod. Use only one main file, but you can change the file at any time.
Make sure you deploy your mods if using Vortex or export the mod list if using BG3 Mod Manager.
For Update or change between versions just overwrite old version pak with the new one.
Uninstallation isn't support after patch 5.
