Mild Mockery (New Voiced Vicious Mockery Cantrip - Insult Anyone)

Mild Mockery

Lets you cast a no-damage variant out of combat, so you can hear the automated voice dialogs of this spell for each companion, as well as freely insult your "friends" in multiplayer mode.

That is essentially the whole (and only) point of this very tiny mod. Mild Mockery is a new custom cantrip, not a replacer, so it will not nerf your existing Vicious Mockery cantrips into no-damage!

But... Why?

Maybe it is only me, but I really enjoyed listening to all the companions deliver their versions of each insult in the Vicious Mockery spell. I'm too lazy to respec each companion into bard, or to add Vicious Mockery and waste a combat turn casting it in order to hear them all. I childishly amuse myself by listening to Laezel and Shadowheart call each other "placenta musk", or Gale giggling at a silly line before he delivers it. And I haven't even got around to listening to Minsc / Jaheira / Halsin / Minthara yet.

But most of all, I needed to be able to insult Mizora over and over and over again, whenever I felt like it.

A Quick Note on Saving Throws

This cantrip essentially enables no-repercussions insulting of any character in-game (yes, even Scratch if you are irredeemably evil). That said, it does have a Saving Throw, which I put in to determine whether or not the target should receive a "dazed by wit" effect. So beware if a character has a reaction on saves against Psychic!

File Options

There are two versions of this file available, which both do more or less the exact same thing.

• []The original unofficial version. Requires script extender. Should be compatible with most, if not all, versions of BG3.

  []The "official" variant (also available via the in-game Mod Manager) which does not require script extender (patch 7 and higher only).

  The script extender version of this mod, grants the cantrip upon drinking a custom potion.

  The official version automatically grants the cantrips to all players upon entering the game.

  Compatibility Notes

  It does not replace the original Vicious Mockery spell and should not conflict with any other mods that change Vicious Mockery or add their own variants of Vicious Mockery. This mod is an extraction and repackage from another mod of mine, to pull this cantrip out into a standalone pak. If you have my other mod installed, then you don't need this.
