📋 About This Mod

This mod adds a potion to the game (in the tutorial chest) that allows players to learn The Closed Fist of Bane ability (the one Gortash uses during his boss fight). Ability also available to learn by wearing Gortash's Gauntlet of the

I always wanted to use this ability during a playthrough ever since I saw Gortash use it for the first time but I couldn't find any mod that added it specifically (if there is and I didn't see it I can always remove my mod), so I decided to make my own. I thought I'd share it here in case anyone wanted the same.

The ability is pretty powerful by default so a nerfed version is also available.

This is also my very first mod so I'm not sure what im doing yet but I'd take any advice on how to improve it if anyone can help.

How to use:

1. Reach the tutorial chest on the Nautiloid OR use the Tutorial Chest Summoning mod.

Update: the ability is also available by equipping Gortash's Gauntlet of the Tyrant after defeating him in act 3 instead (see the new files if you prefer that over the tutorial chest)

2. Take the potion from the chest and use it.

3. You will have The Closed Fist of Bane ability always prepared. It costs a bonus action and summons a black hand that will deal 12d10 force damage for the regular version and 4d10 for the nerfed version, to anyone under it on its turn.

KNOWN ISSUES:

- As I mentioned before I'm very new to modding. so I couldn't change the damage the hand deals in the best way possible for the nerfed version. Because of that, Gortash's ability will most likely do less damage as well during his boss fight.

- Mostly intended but still worth noting, the original spell doesn't allow Banites and Gortash to be hit by the fist but the mod removes that restriction to allow it to hit anyone (including yourself, be careful).

- Killing an enemy with this ability doesn't seem to grant XP to the party as far as I tested it, if anyone has a fix for that it'll be greatly appreciated.
