About this mod
This mod changes many DnD terms and descriptions (such as attack roll, saving throw) into simpler ones (hit chance roll, resist chance roll, etc) in a way that balances accuracy and comprehensibility, making them less alien to previously non DnD players.

When I first started playing this game, I got quite confused about terms like ''rolls, checks, throws", only later to learn that they actually mean the same thing. Then there are "ability modifiers" and "proficiency bonus", I mean who could understand stuff like that without googling? "Not proficient with heavy armour"? What does it even mean? So I decided to make this mod for new players like me to have a chance at understanding some of the core concepts only by their first look, makes life easier.
Installation: Extract English.pak and place it in ...\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Localization
By doing so you replace the original file, make sure you back it up before replacing.
Since this is my first time playing a DnD rule based game, it's possible that I get some of these things wrong, so please don't hesitate to point out errors, misleading descriptions or suggestions.
