Topple the Weave: The Death of Volothaamp Geddarm
This mod adds dire consequences to allowing Volo to die - the Weave of magic itself will become unstable.
About
Volothamp Geddarm is timeless. Literally. After the Spellplague, Mystra and Elminster worked together to make an anchor to keep the Weave stable, and they chose the most unlikely thing possible: An incredibly foolhardy Wizard and Bard, best known as Volo. If Volo dies, the Weave goes with him, making all of reality highly unstable as a result.
Mechanically speaking, if Volo dies, anyone who casts a spell will be inflicted with a variation of Wild Magic, which will proc 100% of the time.
In addition, you have a high chance of one of the following occurring:
- The damage type for a spell that deals damage may permanently change (not reflected in tooltip)
- Money (between 1 and 1000) appears in your bag
- Money (up to 100) is removed from your bag
- Your turn immediately ends
- Your equipped item is unequipped
- You are affected by a Random Status
- A Random Projectile spell fires upon you
- An Random Explosion occurs, centered on you
- Your character immediately dies
- All your cooldowns are reset
- A Random Surface is created under your feet
- A Random Pool Surface is created under your feet
- Your Tadpole Powers are lost
- You forget the spell you cast
- All your summons are dispelled
