INTRODUCTION

I had this idea that wouldn't leave me be...so for better or for worse, here we are. I had this idea of a sorcerer who decided to become a farmer, and avoid a life of adventure and magic. One day, their farm gets destroyed, family gets killed and they are left with a handful of farm animals and the need for fiery vengeance and justice burning in their hearts. Chauntea sees this, and grants the farmer her blessings, empowering her animals, and setting the farmer on the path to protect the common folk.

So, there were my two entry level subclass mods (the Green World Sorcerer and the Wyldling), and there was my full blown class mod, the Wyldheart, which I highly recommend you check out...and now we have this one.

This mod is a bit of a comedic take on the ideas I've had with summoning critters and giving sorcerers a bit of that druidic feel. Still, I did make this a usable subclass for Sorcerers, which gains extra spells, and special buffs for these enhanced farm animals...

REQUIREMENTS

If you want to access levels and abilities beyond 12, you will need the UnlockLevelCurve mod. If you aren't planning on playing past level 12, no worries.

You will also need the Compatibility Framework mod, and all that entails as well to utilize this subclass.

FEATURES

This is a Sorcerer subclass, the Vengeful Farmer

Vengeful Farmer -

Level 1: You can summon a chicken companion, learn Animal Friendship, Create/Destroy water, and Chauntea's Blessing.

Level 6: You gain the ability to summon either an ox, sheep, or pig companion, learn Plant Growth, Daylight and Chauntea's Blessing II.

Level 11: You learn Heroe's Feast, Sunbeam and Chauntea's Blessing III. 

Level 14: You can choose another companion summons from the level 6 list, and you gain Chauntea's Blessing IV.

Level 18: You gain Chauntea's Blessing V.

Chauntea's Blessing:

And what does Chauntea's Blessing do for your summons? This is a buff spell that will last until a Long Rest. While on the surface it may look to be a bit powerful, it's only usable on the Vengeful Farmer's summons. You also have to consider that Ranger's companions get some pretty significant permanent buffs to keep them viable in the late game. This buff is my answer to that, and even keeps your low level summons somewhat viable in the later stages.

The buffs do not stack and will overwrite one another. They also should be more than usable with the buff spells your Vengeful Farmer can obtain from their spell list.

Chauntea's Blessing - Increases  companions AC, attack, hit points, and saving throws. This counts as a cantrip.

Chauntea's Blessing II - Increases companions AC, attack, hit points, and saving throws. Adds an extra attack and Pack Tactics. This counts as a level 1 spell.

Chauntea's Blessing III - Increases companions AC, attack, hit points, damage, and saving throws. Adds 2 extra attacks and Pack Tactics. This counts as a level 2 spell.

Chauntea's Blessing IV - Increases companions AC, attack, hit points, damage, initiative bonus, and saving throws. Adds 2 extra attacks and Pack Tactics.

Chauntea's Blessing V - Increases companions AC, attack, hit points, damage, initiative bonus, and saving throws. Adds 2 extra attacks, Pack Tactics, and can take a bonus action.

The Animals:

Your chicken, pretty much acts similar to a raven familiar, with a beak attack, rend vision and fly.

The pig, is more of a tank, has an infectious bite, can spew poison, and can use Blade Ward.

The sheep...can teleport short distances, and gain bonus damage on foes it teleports by and attacks.

And the ox...phew. This big boy can gore a foe, and do a ton of damage with a charge attack.

All of these critters have moderately better stats than their basic animal counterparts, and more hit points so as to be usable.


INSTALLATION

Using Vortex makes this much easier...but you can also check the following for a detailed explanation:

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:Installing_mods

Alternatively, you can use the Win+R button and type in %appdata% in the box. Click OK, and navigate to the following folder:

C:\Users\**yourusernamehere**\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods

Unzip the zip file, and drop the FarmersRevenge.pak into the mod folder. Then, load up the game, from the main menu, choose the Mod Manager. From there, click the "Installed Files" option and enable the mod by clicking on the blank box next to it, which should put a green check mark in it.

SPECIAL THANKS AND MENTIONS

Obviously thanks to Larian for creating this game.

I'd also like to thank the ever spectacular SultryShea for playtesting my first subclass mod and giving me honest feedback on it. You can check out some of her work (like Drow Dice, Owlbear Egg Dice, Wooden Dice) here on the Nexus.

And a big thanks to Echo on the Larian Studios modding Discord, who saved my sanity and helped me figure out how to limit the Nature's Invocation spells to my specific summoning spells.

WARNINGS

The main issue I have come across, is when gaining a level and seeing the abilities gained, the Chauntea's Blessing reads as the wrong levels, but on the toolbar, they read properly.

Also, the chicken wasn't exactly animated for flight, so the fly ability may look a bit odd when it is used...sorry, nothing I can do about that.

Enjoy my friends, and don't forget to come back and hit that ENDORSE button.

Wyldsong out.
