📋 About This Mod
12-AUG-2026: I am currently working on updating this mod, including bug fixes for the existing ones here and adding some of the other subclasses from the updated UA Villainous Options version. I appreciate your patience as I work on this!
This mod adds three new subclasses to the game:
-
[]Cleric (Pestilence Domain)[/]
[]Fighter (Hell Knight)[/]
[]Sorcerer (Demonic Sorcery)[/]
While they are not all exact copies of what is presented in "Unearthed Arcana 2026: Villainous Options", it is my best attempt at adapting them into reasonably playable subclasses within the scope of Baldur's Gate 3.
PESTILENCE DOMAIN (Cleric)
LEVEL 1:
Inoculated Soul. You have Resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage, and you can't be infected by magical contagions.
Rot and Fester. Damage from your Cleric spells and features ignore Resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage.
LEVEL 3:
Plague Blessing. Expend a use of Channel Divinity to manifest a plague that surrounds you for 6m. Each creature that starts its turn in the Emanation must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw or become Exhausted.
LEVEL 6:
Virulent Burst. As a Reaction, you can cause plague to burst from a deceased creature, spreading pestilence in a 6m Emanation. Enemies in range must succeed a Constitution Saving Throw or take 3d6 Necrotic and become Incapacitated until the end of its next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
PESTILENCE DOMAIN SPELLS:
The following spells are always prepared.
Level 3 - Protection from Poison, Ray of Enfeeblement, Ray of Sickness
Level 5 - Stinking Cloud, Vampiric Touch
Level 7 - Blight
Level 9 - Contagion, Insect Plague
HELL KNIGHT (Fighter)
Devil's Sight. You can normally see in Dim Light and darkness—both magical and nonmagical—within 24m.
Hellfire Weapon. You can imbue your main hand weapon with hellfire, transforming it into a Hellfire Weapon. It remains transformed in this way for 1 minute. While transformed into a Hellfire Weapon, it deals an extra 1d6 Fire damage.
Infernal Wound. As a reaction, you can inflict an infernal wound with your Hellfire Weapon against your target, dealing 1d6 Fire damage at the start of each turn for 1 minute. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Adds three new subclasses from the Unearthed Arcana 2026 playtest document, focusing on villainous themes. A niche mod for D&D 5e players who want to test new options. With 34 endorsements and recent updates, it's a small but active addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh content from the latest Unearthed Arcana, so you get to try the new villainous subclasses before they're official.
- Small but dedicated following (34 endorsements) — the people who have it seem to like it.
- Recently updated, so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 34 endorsements — this is a niche mod, so you might be one of the few trying it.
- Since it's based on playtest material, the subclasses might be unbalanced or change later.
For D&D 5e players who enjoy playtest content and want to experiment with villainous archetypes. If you're a DM looking to offer unique options to your players, this is a quick add. Skip if you prefer stable, well-documented mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires any specific game version or DLC — the description doesn't mention it, so verify before installing.
- Since it's a class mod, make sure to test it in a new character creation to see the subclasses appear correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the installation to avoid file conflicts.
