📋 About This Mod
When we talked about Ranger in BG3, we would think of 1) Gloom Stalker 2) Beast Master. Some of us doesn't even know what a Hunter is. Personally, I think Hunter should use Traps, so I create this mod!
My goal is to let Hunter use traps skills on a tactical basis rather than just another fireball. Therefore trap skill can only place within a range of 2m. With such a small range, some trap skills will hurt yourself if you place it directly on the enemy. You have to predict the movement of enemy and place the trap on their route!
*I haven't removed anything (just modify) from the original hunter, if a skill/passive is not mentioned in this list, it just keep its original effect.

--------------v1. 0. 3----------------

Everything is Planned: When a trap is not triggered immediately after placed, it will deal extra damage = WIS + DEX modifier.
