📋 About This Mod

This mod lets you change (some) of your party members into an avatar or a non-avatar/companion. The avatar is basically like the character you pick at character creation who's the party leader and can talk to companions and ask them to join

THE TOOLKIT VERSION IS NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE IN-GAME MOD MANAGER.

This mod adds 2 spells to every playable character, ApplyAvatar and RemoveAvatar. ApplyAvatar lets you change one of your companions into an avatar and RemoveAvatar can change an avatar into a companion. A character that has been turned into an avatar can talk to other characters, change who's in your party, romance companions and do other actions that are exclusive to avatars.

There are 2 main versions of the mod (and one optional version that I wouldn't recommend):

Original Version (only works on companions):

In the original version of the mod you can only use the spells on companions you recruit during your campaign (origin companions and hirelings) and not the character you start as (tav, durge or origin starts). This version simply adds or removes the avatar tag from a character, the tag allows you to talk to other characters like an avatar would and recruit or kick characters from your party, romance companions and other such actions. There are also other things in the game code besides the tag that distinguish an avatar from a companion and the other version aims to change those as well. Main restriction with this original version is that you can't alter your starting character that already is an avatar (I made this before the toolkit came out and didn't wanna bother with script extender so I couldn't figure out how to actually remove tags from characters that have them by default lol).

Toolkit Version (most recent and extensive version that lets you target companions and your origin starting character):

In this new version made with the toolkit you can use the spells on any origin character (including the one you started your campaign as) as well as hirelings and other companion characters. The main benefit of using this version is that you can change your starting origin character into a companion-like character. This version also makes a more complete transition between a character being an avatar and a companion in the game code, mainly to fix issues that came up when I tried to remove the avatar tag from the starting origin though it may also fix some issues with characters that have transitioned the other way.

This version also carries over approval ratings between characters when switching who's the avatar. For example if you start as Karlach and Shadowheart has high approval for you and then you turn Shadowheart into an avatar and removeavatar from Karlach, the approval rating should be updated for Karlach so that she likes Shadowheart. Keep in mind though that approvals are strictly between an avatar and a companion, the game doesn't seem to allow approvals to be updated directly between avatars or between companions.

When you turn a companion into an avatar an
