FOR THIS MOD: If this mod doesn't appear in the in-game mod manager, please install/enable with BG3MM 1.0.11.0 or manual installation. Future update will try to remove the override file (portrait replacement).
I've been using Bing Bong Summon for a long time now. As I learned to mod, I started making little tweaks to it. First some updated text here... some quality of life changes there... until the July Modathon happened, where I rolled up my sleeves and made it into A Whole Damn Mod. And now you can enjoy it, too!
Better Bing Bong is a rebuild of Bing Bong Summon that functions as a completely standalone mod. It makes a number of quality of life changes, introduces level scaling, and adds new skills, passives, and combat utility to your favorite little red devil baby.

⭐CHANGES⭐
- As you level up, Bing Bong gets more health, proficiency bonuses, and attack roll buffs
- Level 5+ and Level 10+ summoners unlock new skills, passives, and abilities for Bing Bong
- Deal fire damage to enemies by throwing Bing Bong at them, higher levels mean more damage!
- Toggle for throw damage immunity, if you can't bear to hurt his sweet(?) little face
- New bonus action utility and Help changes (try it out on Shadowheart)
- Custom icons, visuals, and portrait
- (Bing Bong also got a wax)
- Added (bad) German language support
- Summon item available as a necklace, ring, or trinket
- Bing Bong can now use Dismiss Summon, climb ladders, and most importantly: open doors. Finally, he can do his job.
- He can now also be properly set on fire. It's Canon!™
⭐USING BING BONG⭐
Obtain a summon item from one of its vendors (available across all three acts), or get it for free from the Tutorial Chest. Bing Bong is available to summon once per short rest and should persist through long resting. When your summoner levels up, it's better to resummon Bing Bong so you can receive the new, higher HP bonus. (You may also need to resummon at Level 5 and Level 10 to make sure the level scaling passives apply.)
For those interested, the full vendor list and level scaling progression is behind the spoiler box below:
Act 1: Cyrel
Act 2: Araj Oblodra
Act 3: Helsik
Level 1+
1d4 Fire damage when thrown
HP is 10 + x2 your summoner's level
Proficiency bonus based on your summoner's level
Attack rolls buffed by your summoner's highest ability modifier
Bing Sting: Sting attack with a CON save for added Fire damage
Invisibility: Same as vanilla, once per long rest
Super Bing Bong: Toggle throw damage immunity on and off
Level 5+
1d8 Fire damage when thrown
+2 to abilities (+1 to STR and INT)
+1.5m movement, +3m jump
Help and Disengage bonus action versions added

+2 to abilities (+1 to STR and INT)
+1.5m movement, +3m jump
Gains Extra Attack and Magic Resistance
Hot Hand: Fire attacks will inflict Flame-Feeble
⭐RECOMMENDED ADD-ONS⭐
While not required, I highly recommend using these mods alongside mine:
→ Scratch and Shovel by Syrchalis
The balancing was purposefully built around this mod, utilizing Syrchalis' system of level scaling and summoner stats. If you found the vanilla summons underwhelming, I can't recommend this enough. Compared to the summons here, though, Bing Bong will have a much lower damage output.
→ Discordant Instruments by JWL
Repurposes the instrument slot into a trinket slot. The summoning trinket I made will work without Discordant Instruments installed, but do yourself a favor and download it. It’s thoughtful, immersive, and just so much fun.

⭐HOW TO INSTALL⭐
Comes in a pak file. Place in your Mods folder. Export to the game with your mod manager of choice. (I recommend BG3MM.) This can be used alongside the original Bing Bong Summon. However, other compatibility issues exist: please read the 'Limitations' section for more info.

⭐LIMITATIONS⭐
- I had to directly edit the Throw action to include Bing Bong's fire damage. This can overwrite/be overwritten by other mods that change how Throw works.
- I'm Blender-illiterate so Bing Bong does not have his cute little bowtie and hat getup. It’ll be released as an alternate version if I ever figure it out.
- I also could not figure out how to separate Burning immunity from Fire resistance/immunity so unlike other imps, Bing Bong takes full damage from Fire attacks. A small price to pay for Canon™ flammability.
- Adding new portrait icons introduces a lot of compatibility issues so to avoid that, I repurposed an unused/underused imp portrait for Bing Bong. Any imps using
d14998cc-5f9a-3fdf-11e5-d03951c40081-_(Icon_Imp_Crippled)
will show Bing Bong’s lil’ mug instead. - Adding custom SFX is currently a very janky process so no shouting ‘BING BONG!’ just yet, sorry. Maybe when the official modding tools are released.
