📋 About This Mod
I found it mildly annoying having to respec my companions every playthrough to make sure they all had optimal Ability Score Modifiers. New game required for the changes to take effect.
This mod tweaks the starting ability scores of all classes in Baldur's Gate 3 to even numbers, ensuring players get the maximum possible ability modifiers while keeping the stats close to vanilla values. It's a small quality-of-life tweak for min-maxers who want optimized character creation without deviating from the intended balance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective for min-maxers who hate odd numbers.
- Preserves vanilla balance—no overpowered stats, just optimized.
- Lightweight mod with a focused purpose, easy to install.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 92 endorsements—small community, but the mod is straightforward.
- Last updated in December 2023—may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who obsess over ability score optimization and want to squeeze every bit of modifier efficiency without breaking the game's balance. Skip if you prefer role-playing over min-maxing or if you're fine with odd scores.
