📋 About This Mod
Cunning Action is now a passive that changes the resource cost of Hide, Dash and Disengage dynamically. This retains the hotkey for hide.
Implementation
Hide, Dash and Disengage cost a Bonus Action by default and an Action if you're out of Bonus Actions. It's possible to toggle the passive off to revert the behavior. Hide with Ranger Gloom Stalker and Monk Way of Shadow is also supported.
Added with the Compatibility Framework. It removes the spells and adds a passive with toggle at Rogue level 2, Ranger Gloom Stalker level 3 and Monk Way of Shadow level 3. Should be possible to install and uninstall without having to respec your character.
Installation
This mod works with Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager, and possibly Vortex and Manual Installations. BG3 Mod Managers is by far the simplest method, and as such is recommended one.
