Better (but balanced) Hypnotic gaze

"Hypnotic Gaze" is the 2nd level class feature of the enchantment wizard. To make it work in the base game, you are required to be in melee range and to use your action every turn to mantain it. Being in melee range for a wizard is not ideal (especially if the enemy succeds the saving trhow) and consuming your action every turn takes you away from the fight. This means that to keep one enemy incapacitated with this feature, you also are incapacitated in a certain way; this cancel the advantage of making one enemy useless, because you also become somewhat useless.

For a class feature that has a Long Rest cooldown, this is really underwhelming.

This mod fixes the two big problem of this feature by giving it 18 meters (60 feet) range, and you can maintain the gaze with a Bonus Action instead of an Action. To keep it balanced though, now it requires Concentration. Basically you can keep one enemy out of combat (if it fails the saving throw) in exchange of your concentration without taking you away from the fight or forcing you to stay in melee range.

There are 2 main files of this mod and both files implement the changes written above. One allows you to use this feature Once per Long rest, like in the base game; the other one allows you to use it Once per Short rest, making it slightly more powerful. Since my changes make this feature stronger, i think that the "Once per Long rest" limit is the most balanced one, but if you want to be more powerful and have this feature almost every fight, you can take the "Once per short Rest" version.

Use only one Main File. You can freely switch between the 2 versions.

This mod is incompatible with every mod that changes the "Hypnotic Gaze" feature. I highly recommend installing mods using the Mod Manager. Load order does not matter for this mod, place it where you want. If you have another mod that changes the "Hypnotic Gaze" feature, the one lower in the load order will be the one that works.
