📋 About This Mod

This mod aims to make greatclubs more unique and more viable in BG3. Raises damage and allows use of Great Weapon style and feat, along with unlocking Shillelagh.

This mod aims to make Greatclubs more viable & unique in BG3.

By default these weapons do a measly 1d8, same as a 2-handed Quarterstaff, while weighing the same as a maul and being locked to 2 hands....

Vanilla Greatclubs also are not allowed for use with Shillelagh or Great Weapon Fighting/Master.

This is a pretty bad oversight carried over from 5E with no good explanation besides being a simple weapon, which I find to be pretty cringe personally.

This mod fixes this with the following:

1) Greatclub damage die is now 3d4, bringing it in line with the 2d6 of Maul and 1d12 of Greataxe. You get more consistency with a minimum damage of 3, but are far less likely to get max damage rolls as a tradeoff.

Max Dmg Roll Chance

Greataxe = 1/12 (8. 3%)

Maul = 1/36 (2. 8%)

Greatclub = 1/64 (1. 6%)

If you do the math, getting anything greater/lower than 5-8 damage is quite unlikely at 3d4. Greataxe will be far more likely to do very high amounts of damage, as will Maul to a lesser extent, but the Greatclub will be middle of the road most of the time.

2) Great Weapon Master now works with Greatclubs because they are "Heavy", so you can get the fat +10 damage. Same for GW Fighting Style.

3) Shillelagh now works with Greatclubs (3d4+WIS).

4) Most Greatclubs get the Morningstar's "Heartstopper" move, which allows the user to make the enemy lose their next 2 actions.

NOTE: Some unique greatclubs get "Back Breaker" of maul in vanilla. This is kept and heartstopper isn't added to these

5) The unique greatclubs have been buffed for both flavor and end-game viability. All changed to 'legendary' rarity because why not.
