Tome of Death

Tome of Death effectively does the same as the killallhostiles script but with less hassle. Simply put, I wanted to replay for the story and skip minor combat. This gives the player a permanent book that equips to the hot bar that can be used to kill all surrounding enemies. The cooldown is 4 seconds, so it can be used repeatedly if need be.

The tome can be found by interacting with the Mysterious Pile of Books in the camp beside the Warden's tent. If it is destroyed for any reason, a new copy can be obtained by running the console script provided.

Available Versions

Standard Version

This is the original version shown in the screenshots provided that was designed to have a consequence attached to it. Whenever the Tome of Death is used in this version, a random party member gains an injury that can be treated with an injury kit or traveling to the camp. It is intended to encourage the player to use it wisely or suffer with setbacks should they find a need to fight before resting.

No Penalty Version

A secondary version has been added that will function the same as the original file but without the injury penalty. This is for those that simply want to run through the game without worrying about drawbacks or needing to rest periodically.

If you previously installed Tome of Death, please view the instructions below on how to install the No Penalty version.

It does not trigger the 'Cheats Used' flag for the game, but I would advise against using it on anything beyond trash mobs. Creatures can sometimes die too fast and you may lose essential quest items from the missed game trigger.

Disabling or uninstalling this mod will make you force load any saves that implemented it previously. However, it has been tested thoroughly and has caused no issues.

Script

If you lose your tome through accidentally destroying it in your inventory, you can get another copy through the console. For instructions on how to enable the console, visit http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Console_(Origins).
