I normally don't ask for this kind of thing but I'm desperate and can't figure out how to work BG3 UTAM:
Is there any chance you can make a mod similar to this where you add a panther companion instead of a displacer beast? I've been trying to use this mod as a guide but I cannot navigate the toolkit to save my life. I'd ask if you could just explain how you made this mod to begin with, but I can't guarantee that I'd be abl to follow along. Obviously if you're not up for it that's totally fine and I completely understand, I'm just desperate to add a panther companion for my ranger and all the mods that do offer that have extra stuff tacked on that I don't necessarily want.
Regardless, this in itself is a good mod, well done!
1. Made a copy of Nessa (the Displacer Beast from Shar's temple) for every "evolution" of a companion on Levels 3, 5, 7, 8 and 11. 2. Gave every copy the necessary names, spells and passives for a ranger's companion. 3. Made a copy of the Wolf Companion spell and replaced the mapkeys in the SpellSucess line to the ones of my Displacer Beast copies. 4. Edited my Summon Displacer Beast spell to know which container it goes to and made an override copy of the Summon Companion spell that adds the Summon Displacer Beast to the container list. 5. Playtesting and balancing.
In your case you can make a copy of the Panther Wild Shape since every wild shape is registred as a unique character.
Awesome mod, thank you. Would you be willing to add a version that does contain illusory copy? Sure, it wouldn't be balanced, but after a few dozen playthroughs, it would be fun to have a full-fledged displacer beast.
I just added an update which adds the Illusory Copy in a way that I think is how an illusion of a fearsome beast should work. Consider it permanent to the mod.
In the end, it was exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much. I also wanted to tell you, more as a suggestion than to add it, the option of changing the name of the beast, perhaps it is possible. It would be great for those of us who like to role-play if the invocation has its own name.

May I ask, is it possible to add the displacer to the spell Find Familiar not only for Ranger?
