📋 About This Mod
Makes Uncanny Dodge into a reaction upon taking damage from an attack - as it's supposed to be - so you can decide when and what to use it on.
I know there's another mod for this, but this is a better implementation - without using scripts, and it works for the entire attack damage, including all the damage instances/riders of the attack. It also checks if you can see the attacker (doesn't work if they are Invisible, or if you're Blinded), and works in Wild Shape - but not when Polymorphed. Completely RAW.
NPCs also use this reaction completely fine.
Should be safe to install/uninstall at any time - no respec required.
Fixes Uncanny Dodge to trigger as a reaction instead of a passive effect, aligning it with tabletop rules. For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want faithful D&D mechanics. Small, focused mod with 168 endorsements and recent updates.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Recent update (August 2024) suggests active maintenance

⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one class feature—niche appeal

For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want the rogue's Uncanny Dodge to work exactly like the tabletop version. If you're a rules-lawyer or just hate when abilities don't match D&D 5e, this is for you. Skip if you don't play rogues or prefer the game's original interpretation.
💡 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 prerequisite.
- Load this mod after other gameplay overhauls to ensure the fix takes priority.
- Test in combat with a rogue to confirm the reaction prompt appears when you take damage.
