I would like to start off by extending 2 huge thanks:
- To Gycicada for agreeing to let me use his original mod available here. This mod is an updated and revamped version of his. He's the one who came up with the implementation and ideas and overall did the very heavy bulk of the work. I merely tweaked a few things in comparison.
- To the BG3 Modding Community Discord members, they're always helpful and kind.
Without them I certainly would not have been able to complete this project so once again : Thank you !
Files breakdown:
4 files are available, they follow the naming convention below:
- Standalone --> The class exists outside vanilla classes. It is not considered a Cleric subclass. As such, mods that alter the gameplay of vanilla classes will not affect the standalone version.
- Subclass --> The class is considered a subclass of vanilla Cleric. Mods that alter the gameplay of vanilla classes will also alter the gameplay of this class.
- Charisma --> Uses Charisma as primary stat and spell ability.
- Wisdom --> Uses Wisdom as primary stat and spell ability.
Inb4 I get flooded with comments about how only 2 files are present, at the time of writing (16/09/2024) indeed the 'subclass' versions are not released yet.
Updates compared to the original mod:
As stated before, this mod is an "updated and revamped" version of Gycicada's original mod. On his mod page, the comment section mentions troubles he faced with his implementation and thoughts on how to fix them. This mod aims at doing just that, and add a bit of flavour. Here's a list of added features:
- Standalone full Charisma or full Wisdom based class. DO NOT LOAD BOTH AT THE SAME TIME YOU'LL CRASH.
- Starting armor is now unenchanted drow leather armor + boots. No gloves.
- Implemented a custom magic missile that is functionnaly the same as the normal one, except it's 'moon themed'.
- Removed dependency on 2e and 5e spells for all spells --> The only exception is 'Suggestion', it has not been implemented.
- Fixed Divine Strike never trigerring.
- Fixed 'Divine Strike - Cold' and 'Divine Strike - Cold Critical' icons.
- Added 'Dark Dancer' passive at level 6.
- Moved 'Moonflare' to level 8.
- You can toggle the Moonbeam aura ON/OFF during Eilistraee's Dance. The Moonbeam will only apply damage once per turn per target.
Work in progress:
- Creating a cleric subclass version of Charisma/Wisdom versions, for compatibility with other mods.
- Making all versions compatible with 5e spells and PF2e spells mods.
Possible improvements:
- Remove 'Dancing Light' for Drows when they pick the class --> No idea how to do that
- Custom icon for : Evensong - Regenerate, Moonlit Stride, Soothing Spring, Eilistraee's light (ESD_Moonbeam_Aura), Moonburned (ESD_Damage_Received)
- Better localization --> I would like for it to fit BG3's localization design more accurately. English is not my first langage and I'm a CS major not a litterature one.
- Custom animations and icons for the class's unique magic missile --> Removes dependency on VFX Library/Icon Library.
Thoughts:
- The class is overall really strong. Instead of nerfing things directly, I decided that players should nerf themselves. E.g. if you think the regen spell is too strong, don't use it. Deactivate divine strikes if you deal too much damage... etc. etc.
- I can't create icons that look as nice as the original ones, no matter how many times I try. If you know someone who can, please let me know.
- I'm digging on how to make it so that choosing this class would only let you choose 'Eilistraee' as a God, but for now it's up to the player to follow the lore.
- I removed 'Turn Undead' and 'Destroy Undead' as those were related to the Channel Divinity resource, which you'll likely spend on the dance. It also was not mentionned anywhere in the original material for Sword Dancers of Eilistraee.
