📋 About This Mod
Variant Human Race
-
[]Only works on a new playthrough/save game.[/]
[]You can select the following passives/feats: Actor, Alert, Charger, Defensive Duelist, Durable, Elemental Adept, Heavily Armored, Heavy Armor Master, Medium Armor Master, Savage Attacker, Tough.[/]
[]The reason there aren't more feats/passives added is due to how the game is made, the feats/passives that would give extra ASI would be applied to everyone, including NPCs and likely you wouldn't be able to select with you would get. Maybe someone can make something better than this mod, but so far this is it. Sorry.[/]

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want to give their human Tav a mechanical edge without overhauling the whole race system. If you're a completionist who likes trying every race variant, this is a quick add. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or minimal changes—this mod alters the base human race.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to enable mods in the game's mod manager before loading your save.
