📋 About This Mod
This mod allows Pact Weapons and Shillelagh-buffed weapons to be unequippable, allowing them to be thrown
if they have 'thrown' property or swapped to a new weapon so you can bind it.
By default, the game forces these weapons to stay equipped, which prevents both throws and swaps.
SIDE EFFECTS
This does make these weapons capable of being disarmed, if any enemies have abilities like that. But the QoL of this change far outweighs that normal side effect.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real annoyance for Warlocks and druids who want to swap weapons mid-fight.
- Tiny mod, no bloat — does exactly one thing and does it well.
- Active author (last updated Oct 2023) and a decent download-to-endorsement ratio suggests it works for people.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 17 endorsements — not a lot of community validation yet.
- May conflict with other mods that alter weapon equip rules — you'll have to test.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who play Warlocks or druids and hate being locked into a bound weapon. If you've ever wanted to throw your pact weapon or swap to a better one without a long rest, this is for you. Skip if you never use these classes or don't mind the default restriction.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Script Extender installed if you're using mods that require it — this one might not, but it's a common dependency for BG3 mods.
- Load order matters: put this mod after any other weapon-related mods to avoid conflicts.
- Test in a save before a big fight to see if throwing your pact weapon works as expected.
