📋 About This Mod
This mod adds the War Magic subclass to the Wizard class.
This mod brings the War Magic arcane tradition to Baldur's Gate 3 for Wizards as accurate as possible, given the engine limitations. As well as a Homebrew Addon with changes I think would be fun to use.
Changes from 5e written rules
- Tactical Wit adds a fixed amount to initiative instead of the intelligence modifier: +3 at level 2, +4 at level 4 and +5 at level 8.
- Power Surge charges are gained by using Counter Spell, Remove Curse or if a mod is installed that adds the spell, Dispel Magic.
- Deflecting Shroud targets the attacker three times instead of raw.
Homebrew Addon
In the files section there is an addon you can install. It has some homebrew changes I made to the class. Place it after the main file.
- Power Surge charges are gained by using any non cantrip Abjuration Spell, instead of the specific spells used in RAW.
