Overview
Finally returning to something of its original purpose with the 1.0.0.0 release, this mod serves to establish progressions from level 13 to 20 for all base classes and some of the subclasses (the remainder I'll get to over time as I complete other projects). It also includes modifying tooltips accordingly for various scaling features and similar things (via script extender) such as cantrips at 17th level, Monk's Marital Art die at 17th level, proficiency bonus at 13th and 17th level and more. Additionally, any mod that specifically accounts for Unlock Level Curve, as far as it's class progression UUIDs are concerned, this mod shares those same UUIDs for the sake of compatibility. This mod also includes the Wizard's Bladesinger subclass. If the only desire is for Bladesinger without the other features, please refer to the Configuration section on how to make that happen or simply download the standalone Expansion Bladesinger Only optional mod. Additionally, 5e Spells is not a hard requirement for this mod. Without it, the 7th+ spell lists will simply contain the 1st to 6th level base game spells.
The mod also includes many of the Optional Features for the classes that were introduced in the Tasha's Cauldron of Everything book for DnD 5th edition. However, those options are literally optionally due to the ability to configure precisely what is desired in addition to a selection of varying XP rates that would be preferred (addressed below) through the use of the Script Extender, which is required, full stop. The Wizard's Bladesinger subclass will remain an option to choose from for those that were using the mod for that purpose and will experience no change from how it works except one aspect that's been frequently requested (also noted below).

Configuration
If you're using the script extender, when the mod is loading up and just before reaches the startup menu, it'll create an Expansion.json file at the following location if there currently isn't one located there: AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Script Extender inside of a newly created Expansion folder. You can modify the file using any text editor like Notepad, Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Each section contains options that deal with Optional Features, XP Rates, Feats and Miscellaneous. You can change many from true to false or vice versa or even leave them blank (which will default to being false).
Optional Features
By default, these are set to true. By changing any to false, it will prevent the given optional features of a specific class from being added to the progressions or modifying anything applicable to them as will be covered in the Available Features section below.
XP Rate
By default, these are set to false. These specifically deal with how much XP is takes to reach each level (e.g it takes 300 XP from level 1 to reach level 2) and very specifically requires the Expansion XP optional mod to be loaded after/under Expansion. You can otherwise use any other mod that modifies XP rates to your liking but then this optional mod is no longer needed. Additional XP rates are welcomed. By default, the optional mod will change XP rates to 75% of the base game's and level 13+ (or leveling 1.5x faster). I wouldn't generally recommend changing any rate you already have during a current playthrough but under the Posts tab in the pinned message is a likely a fix for it. If enabled by setting them to "true" in the .json, they provide the following changes:
50% XP - This will change the XP rate to 50% of the base game's and level 13+ XP rates to reach the next level (or leveling 2x faster).
33% XP - This will change the XP rate to 33% of the base game's and level 13+ XP rates to reach the next level (or leveling 3x faster).
25% XP - This will change the XP rate to 25% of the base game's and level 13+ XP rates to reach the next level (or leveling 4x faster).
Rescaled XP - As requested based off Unlock Level Curve's Rescaled XP, this changes the overall rate of XP required to reach the next level so it's "smoother".
Holzwurm93s XP - An XP rate specifically requested by the named user.
12th Level Max - This will forcibly remove the 13+ level XP period so everything should operate like the base game. This has priority over other XP rate options, so even if others are enabled and set to true, this takes precedence over all of them. Primarily for those wanting just Bladesinger. Doesn't work if you've already gotten to level 12 on an existing playthrough.
With the 1.1.0.0 update, I've figured out a way to allow you to plug in the exact XP desired for levels 1-20 in the Expansion.json, making the previous iteration obsolete in addition to the Expansion XP optional mod (will keep it up for some time just in case). However, for existing saves previously using the Expansion XP mod, ensure you are adjusting the .json to match what you had during your save using the numbers referenced in the applicable XP rate on github above. If any issues would arise, please let me know or revert back to the previous 1.0.7.6 momentarily.
Feats
By default, these are set to false. When set to true, they'll enable the feat selection for each base game class at the levels specified in the selection's name but note that the "Every Level" option doesn't grant it at 1st level due to engine limitations currently, "Every 2nd Level" option will remove the 19th level feat selection from Expansion and the "Every 3rd Level" option will remove the 4th, 8th, 16th and 19th level feat selections from the base game and Expansion. Only one option will work so there's no possibility of being able to stack multiple all at once or something along those lines and it will by default go with the highest possible feat selection option (i.e if you enable Every 2nd Level and Every Level, it's going to go with the latter).
Miscellaneous
By default, these are set to false and involve the following:
Sorcerer Subclasses 14th Level Feature - If enabled, it should remove the 11th level feature that was granted to a Sorcerer subclass and move it to their 14th level progression as it would have been had Larian setup the game to level 14 (or higher). Some people might prefer to get it later like they would in DnD so that's why that's there.
Wizard Bladesinger - If enabled, it will grant the Song of Victory feature at 12th level instead of 14th level as has been frequently requested.

If you would prefer to set the config up before booting up the game, create the Expansion folder specified in the path location above and download the .json to abovementioned location from my github here by clicking the "Download raw file" towards the upper right hand corner underneath the History button. Anyone is also welcome to contribute to the mod that way as well.
