This is a balanced mod that overhauls all Spells/Actions in the game, to allows you to scale you damage/healing with your character's attributes (Intelligence, Wisdom, Etc). A lot of calculations were made to maintain the difficulty of the game while making the combat more fluid and full of options. You will have all the details in the descrip

This mod scales your damage/healing based on your Attribute Modifiers + Dice (Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, etc.). If you want to scale your damage/healing with Flat Numbers + Dice then download the Kombat Overhaul mod instead.
This mod has a lot of work behind it, not just the programming itself, but all the hours spent doing mathematical calculations so that everything makes sense and is balanced, and all the hours spent on the Google Sheets documents so that you can see all these changes in a simple and clear way.
I hope you enjoy this in-depth work, and that, if you can and want to, support me to the best of your ability.
Thank you so much.
PATCH#4 ISSUES
I am aware of the problems that this mod is causing with Spell Scrolls, and after talking to other modders who seem to have the same problem, it all points to the error coming from Larian Studios. It seems that along with this problem, others have come to different mods.
It is an error produced by Larian Studios that they must solve. The mod is correct. Patch#3 brought many problems, you have more information on Reddit.
Until Larian fixes this, I advise you to use my other mod → Kombat Overhaul
This mod reviews all the Spells, Actions, and Illithid Powers in the game, and modifies the vast majority of them. Sometimes only the values are modified, other times the costs, and other times even the mechanics.
The minimum damage and healing have been increased, and the maximum has been reduced. This keeps the overall average damage and healing similar, but reduces the randomness of the results. Not all Spells have the same average damage/healing after these changes, some have been slightly reduced, and others slightly increased. These changes apply to both the player and NPCs, both allies and enemies.
In addition, the Spells and Illithid Powres now scale with your Attribute Modifiers (since Actions always did in the base game). This means that you can do more or less damage depending on how you improve your character. I believe that this is essential in an RPG, especially one as deep as Baldur's Gate III, and this is especially noticeable in the most powerful enemies. You should keep in mind that although some average damage/healing is lower compared to the vanilla game, the damage/healing are now more constant since there is less RNG and more precise numbers. Do not just look at the minimum, maximum or average values, since "consistency" is something that you must take into account. And you must also keep in mind that if you raise your attributes (Intelligence, Wisdom, etc.), whether by improving your Character, or with equipment, or with Buffs, or in any other way, that will directly influence your numbers. And the same will happen if an enemy somehow lowers your attributes.
If you want a graphic way to understand what I am trying to explain, It is best to follow the links that I will leave below. There you can see my work in full. My progress, and my goals, in addition to the periodic updates that I will be doing.
That's all for now. Thanks for your patience and I'll let you know when I have some great update to announce. If you want to know more mods of my creation, visit my profile → Värgr Nekrödes

// BAD NEWS ==================================================================================\\
FLAME BLADE It definitely seems like I need to create "items" to make the changes I'd like to this spell, and I still don't know how to do it. If anyone wants to help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
GOODBERRY Considering what I already know about "Flame Blade", it seems that for this spell I also have to create items, so I would appreciate the help in this case as well.
SPIKE GROWTH I can't find the code to make it work. I will appreciate any help.
EVARD'S BLACK TENTACLES This is a pain in my ass. I can't get it to work as I want. If anyone would like to help, I would appreciate it.
CLOUDKILL Added to my list of problems and to-dos... I think like in "Spike Groowth" and "Evard's Black Tentacles", my problem is that I can't find the code to modify the "surfaces" themselves.
* As usual, more details in their respective Google Drive documents.
// OTHER NEWS ================================================================================\\
It seems that some Spell scrolls are giving an error when hovering over them. I would appreciate it if you could tell me in the "Bugs" section what they are and under what circumstances this error occurs.
[color=#b4a7d6]It seems that "Fire of Wall" does not work correctly with a Boss in the game named Ansur. I'm still looking into what it could be since the code seems correct.
I am running my own game where I am testing the changes, but I would appreciate your feedback to get more data on how these changes affect the game. If it becomes easier or harder, if it still feels balanced, etc. You can leave a message in the "Posts" section. Thanks.
Mod compatibilities:
Spoiler:
Show
This Mod IS compatible with ANY other type of Mod, except those that modify existing Spells and Actions in the default game (with some exceptions). This Mod modifies the code of existing spells in the game, it does not create new spells. And although it adds a lot of code made by me, all this code is aimed at making the changes I intend to work, but I repeat, all this code only affects the already existing spells, nothing more. So it is perfectly compatible with all those mods that add new spells without modifying existing ones.
On the other hand, it should be compatible with any Mod that modifies specific Spells/Actions (i.e. just one Spell/Action, or several of them), just make sure to load the Mod you want as a base first, and then the Mod that you want to "overwrite" the base Mod.
* You ask me this a lot so I hope this resolves your doubts.
