📋 About This Mod
Yes, I’m aware respeccing is a thing, but I personally feel that it breaks immersion, these mods ensure the characters’ journeys feel "seamless" from the start.
Astarion begins the game as a Bard instead of a Rogue.
Mostly made for myself as I was surprised this mod didn't already exist.
I did not edit his starting equipment to add an instrument, to avoid incompatibilities with mods that I personally use, so by default he will whistle when using Bard spells. You can respec him at Withers if you really want to give him an instrument.
This mod will be incompatible with anything that edits Astarion's origin file, for example mods that allow you to edit his appearance.
Will only affect new games.
