Yet another difficulty mod. For those who like to play in big party/with OP gear/spend 40 minutes on a single fight.
If installing mid playthrough switch to Explorer/Balanced, save, and then install.
Same goes for Updating.
Another update is coming at the start of new year, with more options. One of them : Bosses will apply strong effects on themselves when combat starts (like Haste, Bless, Shield of Faith, etc).
Mini Boss
You can use all of them at once, or none of them.
I chose advantage + 99 charges combo for myself.
By the way, if Cazador ascends during combat, he upgrates his LR to 99 charges anyway, so i changed value from +10 to +20 just for that singular encounter. Does not really matter, because you wont let him ascend anyway, right?!
Some bosses had Perfect Sentry passive which is a weaker version of Alert. I replaced it with Alert.

Bosses
Phase Spider Matriarch
Owlbear
Dror Ragzlin (got Feral Instinct instead of Alert, he gets it anyway if leveled up, in case you use level scaling mods)

Main File
Boss- Damage taken is reduced by half (stacks with phys/mag resistances)
- Damage roll advantage (same as Savage Attacker but for every kind of damage)
- Unmovable (immune to prone condition and cannot be moved)
- Alert
- Extra Attack
- Legendary Resistance (those who had Crowd Control version of it, got it replaced)
Mini Boss
- Damage taken is reduced by half (stacks with phys/mag resistances)
- Alert
- Extra Attack
- Legendary Resistance: Crowd Control
Addons
- First addon gives Unbreakable passive to bosses (immunities to stun, paralysis, domination, confusion, charm and magical sleep)
- Second addon gives Enhanced Protection passive to bosses (advantage on saving throws against harmful abilities. It includes pretty much everything : weapon/class abilities, spells, thrown stuff)
- Third addon gives Resistance to all damage to (mini)bosses (you may not want this because they already take half damage)
- Final addon grants 99 charges of Legendary Resistance and Legendary Resistance: Crowd Control to (mini)bosses instead of 3 by default
