📋 About This Mod

Changes to durations and effects for spells from 5e Spells and Homebrew Spells to make them better fit BG3

This mod updates spells from 5e Spells and Homebrew Spells to (subjectively) better fit the balance of BG3 that Larian established. There's a total of 4 files, 2 for each mod. One contains duration changes, the other effect changes and fixes. I suggest using both, but it's of course up to you.

Below, you will find the descriptions for all the changes I've made. Note that a lot of changes are described as "fixed DRS". That means that I fixed the Damage Rider Source effect of the spell in question.

I also made minor improvements and corrections to spell effects and spell flags for both mods.

5e Spells - duration changes

Beast Bond - from 100 round to 10 rounds

Detect Good and Evil - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Detect Magic - from 100 rounds to until long rest

Unseen Servant - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Borrowed Knowledge - from 100 rounds to 10 rounds

Flock of Familiars - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Mind Spike - from 100 rounds to until long rest

Summon Beast - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Flame Arrows - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Melf's Minute Meteors - from 100 rounds to 10 rounds

Summon Shadowspawn - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Charm Monster - from 600 rounds to 10 rounds

Summon Elemental - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Commune with Nature - from 100 rounds to 10 rounds

Holy Weapon - from 600 rounds to until long rest

Skill Empowerment - from 600 rounds to until long rest

5e Spells - spell effect changes

Green-flame blade - fixed DRS

Absorb Elements - fixed DRS

Chaos Bolt - cast range from 36m to 18m

Zephyr Strike - fixed DRS

Detect Magic - improved the implementation of ritual casting

Unseen Servant  - improved the implementation of ritual casting

Kinetic Jaunt - move speed bonus increased from 3m to 5m to compensate for the lack of ability to go through other creatures and deal damage to them by doing that

Rime's Binding Ice - now applies a restrained effect for 1 turn on failed saving throw instead

Tasha's Mind Whip - improved enemy behaviour under the effect of the spell

Vortex Warp - limited to allies only. Considering the sheer amount of chasms in this game, Vortex Warp becomes a level 2 "save or die" spell

Enemies Abound - cast range from 36m to 18m

Erupting Earth - cast range from 36m to 18m

Flame Arrows - fixed DRS; fixed being able to apply the effect to a melee weapon

Melf's Minute Meteors - cast range of meteors from 36m to 18m

Spirit Shroud - fixed DRS

Guardian of Nature - fixed DRS

Raulothim's Psychic Lance - cast
