CIRCLE OF STARS HAS COME TO BALDUR'S GATE 3!
Once again I'd like to extend a special thanks to Celes for his assistance, and without whose help I would never have get any of my mods done.
CLASS FEATURES
NOTES
Using the Heavenly Studies: Conjure Star Map spell summons a Star Map in your inventory, which can be equipped in the instruments slot. Equipping it grants you the benefits above. It's also bound to the Druid that summoned it, meaning you cannot summon one and give it to someone else. The map is also permanent, so you don't have to use the summoning spell over and over again.
The custom, non-spell slot Guiding Bolt was rather strange to implement together with the regular version of the spell, since it's supposed to be prepared at all times as well. For now, equipping the map unlocks the regular Guiding Bolt that costs a spell slot to cast, as well as the non-spell slot version. They're both unique spells and need to be placed on your hotbar to be used.
NOTES
When activating a constellation, there's a thematic casting animation thematic to whatever constellation you picked rather than having an actual constellation glowing on your body—but don't worry, there's a glowy starry visual either way! Visuals have been updated for release and look better than ever (imo)!
UPDATE: You can now toggle the visuals on and off in the Passives tab. Doing so will also cause you to not shed light anymore.
NOTES
Works as in 5e, except that you cannot use the Luminous Arrow spell immediately after activating the form in combat. Make sure you activate the Starry Form before entering combat, or you'll have to wait until your next turn to use Luminous Arrow.
NOTES
Whenever you heal someone, a temporary healing spell unlocks on the far right of your hotbar. Every ally (and yourself) that was within 9m of you when you cast the initial healing spell will get a buff that allows you to heal them with the temporary healing spell for free. It may be easy to miss or forget that you have it, but remember that it's a free bonus heal!
NOTES
With the introduction of Reliable Talent for Rogues, this spell now works the way it should according to 5e rules! Whenever you perform general Intelligence and Wisdom checks, as well as skill checks related to Intelligence (Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature and Religion) and Wisdom (Animal Handling, Insight, Medicine, Perception and Survival), you can never roll below 10 on the die. The only difference is that there doesn't seem to be a way to implement this feature on Concentration saves specifically, so I changed that to be like War Caster's Concentration save advantage until maybe it's possible in the future.
NOTES
After finishing a long rest, you can cast the Cosmic Omen spell, which has a 50/50 chance of giving you either Cosmic Omen: Weal or Cosmic Omen: Woe. More info on what they do down below.
It was based on the Sorcerer feature Bend Luck, and has both an interrupt (for Attack Rolls and Saving Throws) and a targeted cast component (for Ability Checks).
NOTES
This is the offensive version of Cosmic Omen, and thus applies only to you and your allies. Both the interrupt and the targeted spell use the same resource cost.
NOTES
This is the defensive version of Cosmic Omen, and thus applies only to enemies. Both the interrupt and the targeted spell use the same resource cost, and you can give an enemy a negative modifier to its Ability Checks using the targeted spell if you want to.
NOTES
Exchanges your first Starry Forms with improved versions. The flight portion of Starry Form: Dragon appears as a temporary spell on the far right of your hotbar as long as you have the buff. Since in 5e you can choose whenever you want to hover while having the Dragon buff, and you can't choose when you want to hover in BG3, I made it so that you're constantly "hovering" (i.e., the game gives you an attribute where it treats you as hovering) and are therefore unaffected by difficult terrain and surfaces.
The second part of this feature also unlocks a temporary spell container in the same place as the Dragon flight spell, which you can use once per turn to switch constellation. Outside of combat you can switch form freely without spending additional Wild Shape charges as long as the Starry Form buff remains, but in combat you can only do so once per turn.
NOTES
*Requires a mod that allows levelling past 12.*
Works as in 5e. Applies an additional visual effect to your character whenever you're in Starry Form.
