📋 About This Mod
This mod now requires the BG3 Script Extender!
If you don't have it yet, the easiest way is to use the BG3 mod manager and download the SE using it. For manual installation, take a look here. SE VTs are optimized in ways toolkit VTs are not. This mod will not add to your VT limit unless you've already surpassed it.
If you're not on windows or otherwise can't use the script extender, just don't touch the HPY prefix harpy wings. Everything else in the mod will still work as normal.
