Combat Extender

Combat Extender (Updated to Patch 8)

Adjust the health, stats, abilities, spells and other buffs of enemies with easy user configuration. Whereas there are multiple combat mods, they tend to be outdated, abandoned or aren't really suitable for a serious campaign as they randomly give spells and abilities to enemies. This mod allows you to easily adjust and modify enemy abilities, spells and hitpoints while staying true to the original game design.

  What does Combat Extender do?

  It tags enemies based on archetypes using an override method. In turn these tags are used to dynamically add extra abilities, spells or passives. Besides tagged enemies it applies global boosts in the form of additional hitpoints, movement range or (bonus) actions and more based on a configuration file.
