About this mod
Adds Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade to the game.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
My mods are free for anyone to use, take or copy as they see fit. If you want to include these in a bigger collection of spells so that a compatibility patch is not necessary, all I ask is that you let me know so I can point people in your direction.
Blade Cantrips
Does it says on the tin. Ports the two SCAG blade cantrips to the release version of Baldur's Gate 3.
Booming Blade makes an attack with a weapon and leaves a status effect on it's victim, dealing 1d8 thunder damage if they move.
Green-Flame Blade makes an attack with a weapon, the flames lash out to another adjacent target and deal fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
The initial attack and the additional effects both gain a 1d8 additonal damage at the same time every other cantrip increases in power.
The only caveat I've come across is that it's not possible to choose the target Green-Flame Blade's additional damage leaps to, but having more than one enemy in range should be so rare that it shouldn't matter that much.
Who has access to these spells?
Sorcerer, Warlock and Wizard. I believe high elves (and half-elves), Arcane Tricksters and Eldritch Knights can pick them up as well but I didn't fully test it so let me know if it's not on their lists.
Can they be quickened?
Yes.
Can they be twinned?
No.
Does Green-Flame Blade gain additional damage from Draconic Sorcerer?
Yes, both instances. It's not RAW but it's consistent with how Baldur's Gate 3 handles other multi-hit spells like Scorching Ray.
Can you add X spell too?
Probably not. I'm going to update this mod soon with Lightning Lure but after that I want a chance to play the game myself.
Compatibility
Incompatible with any mod that adds spells to the Warlock, Sorcerer and Wizard spell lists. There's not much way around this outside of specifically making a compatibility patch at his point in time.
Credits
Thanks to Feriat111 for letting me peek into their 5e Cantrips and steal part of the methods they used to implement Booming Blade.
Shouts out to Lae'Zel who I repeatedly hit with a quarterstaff as I tested this spell out in the Nautiloid.
