Tutorial Chest Summoning

Several mods add new items to the Cartilaginous Chest containing potions in the tutorial area. That's fine if you only need a single copy of an item at character start, but doesn't help when adding or updating a mod in an existing playthrough, or if you want multiple copies.

This mod adds an ability that summons a fresh copy of the tutorial chest, containing a new set of any items it's been modded to contain.

How to Use

BG3 Script Extender is recommended but not required. When using Script Extender your characters will be granted the ability to summon the chest automatically on loading or starting a new game.

Otherwise the summoning ability is granted when using the Hide action for the first time. (Regular Hide, not Cunning Action: Hide or other variants.)

The ability will be placed in the Common section of the action bar. The icon looks like the chest.

If you've removed it from the bar, it can be found in the Class Actions section of the Common tab of the Spellbook window. Drag it from there to the action bar.

Cast the summoning ability to get a temporary chest added to your inventory.

Enter turn-based mode to give yourself time to browse - the chest and all its contents will be destroyed after 5 turns.

Any AP spent while the chest is summoned will be refunded, so you can try on or dye equipment without unpausing.

For mod installation instructions, see the wiki.

Script Extender can be installed via BG3 Mod Manager, or by following the instructions on its download page.

Optional Files

There are 6 different versions of the mod.

The optional files are alternate versions to be used instead of the main file, not at the same time. It's safe to switch to a different version at any point.

Default: Grants the ability on Hide, or via Script Extender if installed.

No Hide: Recommended for Script Extender users. Does not override Hide. Grants the ability via Script Extender if installed. Otherwise the only way to learn the ability is by first using the default version of the mod and then switching to No Hide.

Scriptless: Grants the ability on Hide. Does not contain Script Extender support. Avoids Mod Manager warnings for users who can't or won't use Script Extender.

Scriptless No Hide: Ability can only be learned by first using another version of the mod and then switching to this one.

Temporary: Temporarily grants the ability on Hide, and then removes it. Attempts to remove the ability via Script Extender if installed. This is the version to use if you just want to install, summon once, then uninstall.

Uninstaller: Does not override Hide. At
