Disclaimer: 
The description is more up to date than the gallery, trust description in case of contradictory information.

Overview: 
Brings a bit more uniqueness to every playable character, whether played as Avatar or as companions.

These bonuses will make them more distinct, fit with their backstory, and should be useful and relevant throughout the whole game.

Note: The Proficiency Bonus added to their skills is independent of (and therefore stacks with) Proficiency/Expertise.

Laezel

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Intimidation & Acrobatics
  • +(Proficiency Bonus -1) to Attack Rolls* & Damage Rolls* with Githyanki weapons (only visible when equipped with such weapon)
Note: she also can't roll a 1 on attack roll and damage roll

Shadowheart:

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Religion & Insight
  • +(Proficiency Bonus-1) to Ability & Skill checks & Saving throws to her allies as long as she’s wielding an idol of her goddess (follows the story)
  • 24m Darkvision

Karlach

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Survival & Athletics
  • Every 4 Soul Coins used give permanent +1 Fire Damage on melee attacks & +1 Fire damage reduction (starts at 1 Coin)
  • Each Heart upgrade adds the equivalent of 4 coins (vanilla maximum value is 1 + 19 + 2 x 4 = 28 coins = +7)
Note: If using optional files from Fireproof Karlach that give her a toggle, every time she uses it she will get a stack of this passive, it is highly advised that you don't use that

Wyll

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Persuasion & History
  • If he has proficiency with martial weapons, Wyll adds his (Proficiency Bonus-1) to Attack Rolls* and Damage Rolls* with Rapiers, as well as AC
  • If he has a Rapier equipped, Wyll adds his Proficiency Bonus to his spells' Attack Roll and DC
Note: he also can't roll a 1 on attack roll and damage roll

Gale

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Arcana & History
  • Being affected by a hostile spell, Gale has a chance to recover a Spell Slot
- He must succeed a Constitution SavingThrow (DC = 10 + 2 per SpellPowerLevel)
- If he fails, he can roll again for the slot of the next lesser level
- If he succeeds but can’t restore a spell slot of that level, he gets a temporary one for the next turn
Only available after Elminster stabilizes the Orb

Astarion

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Deception & Stealth
  • When Vampire Bite kills a hostile humanoid, Astarion progresses his Vampirism
- Every 7 such kills, he gains a rank
- Ranks give and improve a claw attack reaction
Ranks:
  • Fledgling: Can use claws to react on someone missing a melee attack against him, once per turn (no reaction cost)
  • Blooded: On hit with the claws, can inflict Bleed for 2 turns
  • Nightdweller: +1 use per turn
  • Nightmaster: Add 1d4 necrotic damage to the claw attack (scales like a cantrip)
  • Lord: +1 use per turn
  • Elder: On hit with the claws, can inflict Charmed for 2 turns
First rank is unlocked after he gets Happy for the first time

The Dark Urge

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Intimidation & Perception
  • Feral Instinct  (+3 initiative, can't be surprised)
  • +1 to critical threshold (only out of combat)

Assassin's features are obtained after the Alfira/Quill event

Halsin

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Animal Handling & Nature
  • Override his Strength and Wisdom to 15
  • If having the Idol of Silvanus, it will provide the ability to Speak with Animals & immunity to vines to allies and himself (this is on top of the regular blessing)

Jaheira

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Performance & History
  • Dual wielder feat (can dual wield non light weapons, and +1 AC when dual wielding)

Minsc

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Athletics & Animal Handling
  • Override his Strength to 18
  • +2 Strength (this emulates he using body type strong from Interesting Body Types, because he's only using regular body scaled up)

  • +Proficiency Bonus to Intimidation & History
  • Soul Branding can be cast on 1 additional target per 5 tadpoles Minthara consumed
  • Dual wielder feat (can dual wield non light weapons, and +1 AC when dual wielding)


Installation:
Use BG3MM

Can be added anytime


Uninstallation:
Can be removed anytime


Compatibility: 
Will cause compatibility issues with mods altering the Origins.lsx.

One such example is Appearance Edit Enhanced's optional file for Origins. I made an optional file that ports the appropriate changes so it's compatible with it.

Compatible with Origin's Gods by Kilay, who made their mod natively compatible with this one.
Load Origin's Gods below/after Interesting Origins.

Recommended to go along Interesting Body Types.
