📋 About This Mod
Brings a Cool Down System for Brawl Real-Time when Casting Spells.
Disclaimer - Mod is 50%Ai / 50% Human work.
Okay, If you know me you know The only reason I play BG3 is because of Brawl Real - Time Mod, and the Mod is very fast and Hard but way more fun than base game Turn-Based Combat.
But a lot of people want a cooldown system akin to actual Real - Time games or the Original BG Games.
So I made this mod on trying to replicate how casting Spells worked in the original games where different Spells took different times to cast.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get that to work but I did discover there was Slow : Spell Casting Status effect that is said to be "non-functional", though it is actually functional, just can't really work in Turn-Based Gameplay.
So how this mod works is that on Casting Spells you have a Recoil Effect which is basically a Slow effect, not just you though but any NPC that casts a spell ingame, Cantrips, Class abilities like Eldritch Blast and Psychic Abilities are Unaffected by this Backlash but additionally the More Powerful the Spell the longer the Recoil effects lasts; from 0. 6 seconds to a full 6 seconds if it is a level 10 spell (Or more if you install a Mod with more than level 10 spell Levels).
Additionally if you or an Enemy Constantly keep casting spells while under the Casting Recoil Effect, then the Individual will undergo Slow:Casting Effect where they are Overwhelmed by the repeated Spell Casting and can neither Move or take actions for a while.
Support
Currently the Spell Mods Supported are 5eSpells , PF2e and (Most) Spells of Baldur's Gate 2 (Will complete do this prob in a few days)
For the Love of all Existence, if a Spell doesn't cause the Casting Recoil effect, please post it, this mod is only as Good as it's weak point , if someone can Spam a particular Spell or enemies Can, it then becomes redundant.
