Ghastly Ghouls Addon - Banshee Subrace

IMPORTANT NOTE: SHOULD work with Patch 8 IF you get the updated ImpUI for Patch 8 (See the Ghastly Ghouls page's Sticky Post for more info).

This is my first attempt at publishing a mod. I've modded games for years. I started with Total Annihilation. I had released a few units back then, plus I contributed to the Total Annihilation: War in Space mod with the Starwing fighter.  I've also done personal mods for Fallout 3, NV, and 4, as well as Skyrim LE and Skyrim SE.  This is the first time I've submitted anything on Nexus though.

I present to you the Banshee, a new Banshee-themed subrace for ghouls0rules' Ghastly Ghouls - Playable Undead Race mod with some custom visual effects and icons.

For RP/Flavor purposes, select the elven origins. They work best with the whole theme of being a Banshee.

When you pick your Ethereal Color, your Shadow Step will match it automatically. In order for the Shadow Step colors to match, I had to trick the system by making Shadow Step a "Selectable Passive" at 6th level.  There's only one, but it was the only way I could figure out how to get it to work.

Character creation for this subrace uses the standard Ghastly Ghouls selection.  I used the Toolkit for 95% of this mod, so I did the best I could.  One thing to note: when started with this race, I used the Lich as a base. In a sort of happy little accident, this ended up giving the Banshee the Lich's floating movement. As far as I can tell this provides no gameplay advantage, only visual effects. Honestly, I personally like it and feel that it fits the idea of the subrace. On that note, I have NO idea how to remove it.

UPDATE: 24-April-25

Added 2 new colors for Ethereal Movement/Shadow Step: Orange and Necrotic.

Added 3 additional variants of each color: Aura, Glow, and Umbral.

Coming Soon: A Banshee 'Lite' version that will hopefully be a bit more "balanced" that has the following:

- only the cantrip-level wail. Potentially have it "preparable" during each Long Rest with toned-down versions of all the other wails. Probably will not be discriminate so they would even effect allies.  Allows for more tactical thinking!

- necrotic ethereal movement and shadow step as default (downloadable option files that replace the color to one of your liking). Shadow step will also be more equivalent to the Shadow Monk's shadow step in function, meaning only from shadow to shadow. The extra psychic damage to the next banshee wail will remain.
