Installation/Uninstallation

download and put it on load order and done. Can be installed or uninstalled at any point of the game.

Mod compatibility

Q&A.

Q: Is it balance?

A: probably not.

Q: How about Dark Urge or Tav?

A: Bloody Inheritance, Eat Your Heart Out, and Second Chance are for Dark Urge. I have no interest in making one for Tav.

Additional similar mods.

Mithridatism - poison resistance and Minthara's Other Soul Branding are for Minthara.

A joke mod that's totally functional: Boo's Protection - Minsc Immune to Psychic and other mental statuses

Q: How about other items with similar passives?

A: now you or your companions get free slot.

Special Thanks
