Spells Enhanced - Guidance is a Baldur's Gate 3 mod that reworks the Guidance cantrip into a permanent, non-concentration buff. It removes visual and sound effects, extends the range to 9 meters for all allies, and changes the advantage to a 1d6 bonus or 99, lasting until a long rest. With 680 endorsements and 22,978 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak for players who find the original spell tedious.

✨ Key Features

Removes concentration requirement, allowing the buff to persist without maintaining focus.
Lasts until a long rest, providing a permanent buff for the party.
Removes visual and sound effects (VFX and SFX) for a cleaner experience.
Applies to all allies within a 9-meter radius.
Changes the advantage mechanic to a 1d6 bonus or a flat 99, offering flexibility.
Transforms Guidance into a regular spell, integrating it into the spellbook normally.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • No more annoying concentration checks—just cast and forget until you rest.
  • The 9-meter radius covers your whole party, so everyone gets the buff without micromanaging.
  • Removing the VFX/SFX is a godsend for those who hate the glowing hand effect.

⚠️ Cons

  • Making it permanent might trivialize early-game skill checks, reducing challenge.
  • The 1d6 or 99 bonus is a bit overpowered—99 basically guarantees success, which could break balance.
  • No mention of compatibility with other spell mods, so you might run into conflicts if you use others.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who find the original Guidance cantrip tedious to recast and want a permanent, no-frills buff for their party. It's perfect for those who prioritize convenience over balance and don't mind a bit of power creep. Skip if you're a purist who wants to keep the game's challenge intact.
