📋 About This Mod

Complete Wild Shape overhaul - proper 5e progression; HP, AC, Ability score scaling; full revamp of all beast abilities and features; new WS forms, alternative colors, and lots of fixes and additions. All to make a more balanced and

Installation

Install with BG3MM as usual. It should be safe to install, update and uninstall this mod at any time - make sure to respec your druid characters to level 1 before uninstalling the mod.

All optional modules of this mod and 5R Druid mod should be loaded AFTER the main mod.

This mod is implemented with Compatibility Framework , which ensures full compatibility with other mods that affect progression or add new subclasses. As such, it requires both Compatibility Framework and Community Library and won't work without them.

- Community Library should be at the top of the load order.

- Compatibility Framework should be at the bottom of the load order.


Implementation / Compatibility

This mod is not meant to be used with other Wild Shape mods, and won't be compatible with them - unless they are specifically made to work together. This is a complete overhaul and is balanced as such.

Wild Shape spells are removed from their respective spell lists, and are now added via unlock passives.

- This allows us to implement different progression between Circle of the Moon and other subclasses (as per 5e), and automatically adds proper progression to any new modded subclasses. It should also declutter the level up screen from a ton of WS spells (except Circle of the Moon will still see all the non-moon WS spells on the shared druid page, with their unique forms on their subclass page).

Wild Shape spell container and all entries in this mod use new entries, separate from vanilla.

- This means other mods that affect vanilla WS entries won't affect forms, stats, abilities, etc. of this mod - unless they are specifically made for that. This ensures compatibility with mods that include Wild Shape changes, removing their effect on this mod.


5R Druid (dnd 5e 2024 PHB)

This mod is made with the 5R Druid mod in mind - at least some features are required for the "full experience", as some vanilla BG3 stuff was removed and intended to be replaced with 5R Druid stuff, such as Fount of Moonlight and Primal Strike. Therefore it is heavily recommended.

If you would like to play with 5e 2014 druid - some 5R Druid features are available with an optional file. It includes:

- WS Charges: You have 2 WS charges and gain an additional charge at level 6 and 17.

- WS Recovery: You now regain 1 expended WS charge on a Short Rest, and all expended charges on a Long Rest.

- Elemental Fury, Wild Resurgence, Increased Toughness, Moonlight Step.
