📋 About This Mod
The Spell Sniper bug was fixed in Patch#3, and this mod is now obsolete.
v1 - Just fixes the critical threshold issue.
v2 - Fixes the bug and allows you to pick Spell Sniper multiple times.
If you're playing the Multipick version: The tooltip for Spell Sniper will not update and will always read as reducing the Critical Threshold by 1. The benefit stacks as it should but the tooltip does not reflect this.
INSTALLATION:
Recommend installing via the BG3 Mod Manager. Do not ask me to troubleshoot Vortex for you, I don't use it.
Unzip .pak file into your (by default) "C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods" folder or equivalent.
Run or Refresh BG3 Mod Manager.
Drag Mod from "Inactive" (right side) to "Active" (left side)
First time running the mod: Place at bottom of load order for maximum compatibility with other mods.
Click on the "Export" button or go to "File->Export to Game"
REQUIRES - "Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Fixer". The mod fixer doesn't need to be installed via the manager, just place the .pak file in the Mod folder and it will work without extra steps. Previous versions of the Mod Fixer, "Full Release Mod Fixer" or "Patch 3 Mod Fixer", are completely identical files so you can stick with them if you have them already.
Will throw up an error ("Unable to create a working story") when creating a new game or loading a game from before this mod was installed. This error can be ignored, if you have the above Mod Fixer installed. Installing "ImprovedUI", will remove the error message.
If installed mid-campaign, it will cause the Time Played (the number displayed on your savegame) to reset. Same with every other mod that requires the above Mod Fixer.
Can be installed/uninstalled mid-campaign.
