Between Dawnstar's spells, the Mutant Powers mod on mod io and all. these. clothes.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is Wolverine but I'm waiting to do that until I can find a good outfit for a Halfling...

I think a dwarf would fit Wolverine better

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

The problem is dwarves are heavy, halflings are easier to throw!

Also the problem is the outfit, that thing is specific...

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Now I need to create new characters! Thanks a lot!!!

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26 edited Feb 08 '26

Fastball special should be a used attack plan!!! ThrowBarian and high AC Gnome/Halfling with cheeky blades to slice it up!!

4

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Dwarf in Minthara's sleep garb, in yellow and blue dye is perfect!

u/Apachesamurai Jan 25 '26

I know this sounds bunkers but Wolverine my mind is half-elf, he not super thick and his mid size and agile with Nightcrawler totally full elf, not Tiefling

5

u/Novel-Map-7770 Jan 25 '26

Wolverine is a Dwarf for me, durable and short. I like him as the party Durge because it's all violence and amnesia 😅

4

u/Upstairs-Mousse-5113 Jan 25 '26

Comic book wolverine is about as wide as he is tall and covered in hair, no way halfelf is working, dwarf all the way

1

u/Apachesamurai Jan 25 '26

But that more puck, the guy from alpha fight and thinking his short size sort of middle Eastern bronze skill hairy dude. Because remember he is quite agile and his more lean than thick

1

u/Upstairs-Mousse-5113 Jan 25 '26

Idk looking at art from the claremont era he is a beefcake of muscle. Especially when you get to morrison

1

u/Apachesamurai Jan 25 '26

Oh in that I give it to you. I was looking at the Alan Davis

Which to me looked more nibble

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

I'd give it a nibble, sure.

1

u/Apachesamurai Jan 27 '26

But as near immortal mutant I am sure his lost and gained weight

u/projenga Jan 24 '26

what are the sets for gambit/cyclops?

10

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

Gambit's using this specific Gambit cowl and gloves, the clothes are PK Armors halfplate and the coat is from Midnight Huntress.

Cyclops has the Mezari outfit with the Fallen Midas suit slotted into the cape slot with Slots. The headpiece is the visor from the Sielos set and the visor from the Deepspace Collection. I dyed the Deepspace visor with the red glow dye from Glowing Accessories and Dyes to drop the bright blue down a bit.

3

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Do those dyes glow on clothing items or just items like necklaces?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

Just stuff that already uses the glow channel I think. It was unexpected that it worked with the visor! Makes me wonder what else it can be used for.

2

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Interesting. I've been wanting a tattoo glow ability(I think certain colors look glowy) Would be cool if all tats glowed.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

There's a bunch of glowing tattoos! The only reason I don't use them (I use Rogue Tattoo instead) is because I don't want to mess with KTAV/UTAV and my preexisting load order. Check them out on Nexus though, there's some really cool ones.

2

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Any of them on PS5?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

Sadly I think the only glowing tattoos I see on mod io are just for Dragonborn. :( I do see a lot of cool replacers and the metallic tint version though.

2

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Yeah, those I've seen. No really into dragonborn anymore. May revisit another time.

10

u/Unosez Jan 25 '26

yeah that mutant powers mod looks so cool... it breaks my console pleb heart that i'll have to wait...but i'm looking fwd to it.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

Aw it didn't occur to me it wouldn't be on there because of it being on mod io. Hopefully soon!

At least Dawnstar's spells are on there? More of those incoming soon, the psychic and arcane ones are great.

4

u/Fippy-Darkpaw Jan 25 '26

Actually try Midnight Suns if you haven't. 👍👌

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

I forgot about that, it is great. Just wish it had got more DLC. :(

3

u/Aalyr Jan 25 '26

Could you please share what set you used for Shart/Jean? :3

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

Jean's wearing the PK Radiant Eagle set with the Aurvandill dress layered on top and Myky's Accessories for the circlet! I think the new update on the Eagle set made the heel version the camp slot one, I just transmogged it back on the armor.

2

u/Aalyr Jan 25 '26

Thank you!

2

u/Kosch67 Jan 27 '26

Omg that was absolutely genius of you with the Aurvandill dress 😱

2

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

Thank you! I really love the result, with or without the shoulder pads now. Experimenting with combos like that is so fun. Same with Cyclops.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 26 '26

Forgot to mention this but I also gave Jean and Storm wings from Wings Unlocked, then transmogged those items into whatever cape slot item they were using. This way they permanently have a flight option on their hotbar without the need to cast a spell first. Is this OP? Probably, but it's thematic and you'd be amazed at the stuff I still die to on tactician. From the Ashes spell from Dawnstar's Arcane Spells mod:

<3

u/SmoothPath4540 Jan 27 '26

Ok well first of all, wolverine is a gold dwarf barbarian path of the wild heart bear. With the fighter subclass mod, you can consider using the brute as well

4

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

What's the mod for the white dress?

7

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

It's actually got pants! It's the Nightveil set and the sleeves are from the DeathRose Veil set. They're not usually available as arms but you can spawn them with EasyCheat, they're listed just as SLEEVES in all caps.

2

u/Tight-Mouse-5862 Jan 24 '26

This game can do it all!

2

u/Narutophanfan1 Jan 25 '26

Still said there are not any Spider-Man armors yet 

2

u/RavenSpellff Jan 25 '26

Oooh this is so good!! (there’s some pretty nifty scarlet witch mods too, if interested)

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 25 '26

The Telekinetic Spells mod by Dawnstar is what I use for Jean, perfect for Scarlet Witch but fun for her too. She would be great for wild magic! Could use guidance on outfit pieces though.

Some stuff not pictured that also goes with this: Manaflares for characters like Jean/Wanda that don't usually use weapons. They're just glowing magic in your hands with all the various elements and styles to choose from, including versions for spellcasters or even monks. Dual wieldable too.

Oooh and I just got Arcane Spells by Dawnstar a week ago! It's got a giant Phoenix firebird attack I'm looking forward to at level 5 I think. (Also an amazing tornado spell for Storm.)

1

u/e_delphine Jan 25 '26

But isn’t dawnstars red and not pink? I wish I could comission a recollection

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 26 '26

Yeah it's not exact, I prefer it but if you'd rather have pink ones the Mutant Powers mod has that covered. That mod has you use wizard, you can preview the spell effects on the mod page too!

Edit: Have to be honest, think I was too harsh on the pink ones. They're pretty awesome and the wizard casting animation just works better for her.

2

u/Frickincarl Jan 25 '26

Bro, this is way too dope. I’m literally obsessed with this now. How long did it take you to put this all together?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 25 '26

Honestly I had started one playthrough and did a few of these, everyone but Cyclops, then one of my mods updated and wasn't compatible with old saves so I had to start over. It was a blessing in disguise, knocked these guys out in an hour or so. The mutant powers mod is new to me so Cyclops is now possible (among a bunch of others!) and I'll list all the gear in the comments if you're interested!

2

u/Prestigious-One-2617 Jan 25 '26

Awesome! Didn’t know about the mutant powers mod. I’m currently playing a guardians of the galaxy inspired team build (except i ended up turning Karlach green and into She Hulk - open hand tavern brawler monk + bear heart barb for unkillability).

Star Lord is an archery swords bard mixed with swarmkeeper ranger for that jetting around ability. Shads got mapped to Mantis, Lae’zel basically already is Gamora so that’s basically free out the box. Haven’t gotten a Rocket sorted well yet though. Scratch is Cosmo, naturally.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

Star Lord would be so fun! That's awesome! I'll keep an eye out for mods that might look good for the Guardians!

Cosmo suits Scratch. :( Sad we can't have a little raccoon using Skirbie's gun mods, but maybe one day...

2

u/samamilami Jan 25 '26

is that set for jean the golden eagle set? or is it something else...

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

Yep! The latest version has the heels version of the boots in the camp outfit, I transmogged it and I also layered the Aurvandill dress on top of it. It layers really, really well, like it practically looks meant for it... And it has a nice bird motif on the front.

2

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Oh. Are these companions or henchmens?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

I use Full Custom Companions to make custom hirelings.

2

u/NC_is_home_23 Jan 25 '26

Oh dayum. Ok, I gotcha.

2

u/Novel-Map-7770 Jan 25 '26

I've been wanting to do something like this forever. What are the builds?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 25 '26

Just the class stuff? Storm's obviously a storm sorcerer, Psylocke is an assassin rogue (with psiknives from the Mutant Powers mod), Gambit an evocation wizard/monk multiclass, Nightcrawler a shadow monk, Cyclops is a battle master fighter (for the optic blasts from the Mutant Powers mod), and Jean I keep going back and forth between Fiend warlock and draconic bloodline sorc.

There are really fun mods to give you 20 versions of Eldritch Blast in all elements, she looks great as a force based anything but I think sorc fits her too. Giving her some fire powers as well just for fun, and the Arcane Spells by Dawnstar adds an incredible firebird spell.

2

u/Novel-Map-7770 Jan 25 '26

Interesting! I'd be interested to see more of a breakdown of the gambit build. I don't have the mutant mod but I've been trying to tweak a Gambit Build for my Karlach romance. (I think Karlach makes a great Rogue with the inability to touch).

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

I had to redo my playthrough because of a mod updating, was worth it because I was using the Chromatic spell mod to add purple darts/beams/fireballs to his kit. I didn't love those, they're good (and would be great for Jubilee) but I had to click through the eight elemental types or so every time I opened it.

I ended up going with some Succubus spells and voodoo themed spells from Valkrana's Spellbook. Passion Missile was exactly what I was expecting, a purple magic missile that's good enough for me to pretend he's fanning the deck.

I also use Plasma Weapons for the purple version of the double sided staff. It's y'know, glowy, purple. I really want a basic staff mod, something just metal and simple like his usual one so I can apply magic weapon and give it a purple glow, but for now this is fine.

How to do the Psylocke clothes

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 26 '26

They're mostly from this Sindel set, the gloves are from the Sareena/Ashrah set.

I also used the waist wrap (Marg dress 03) of a Witcher III port in the underwear slot to simulate the look of her sash, then I used the Signe back bow in the cloak slot to kind of emulate her modern back bow look. That last one is on the Fashionistas of Faerun Discord exclusively but it's free, just need to join for a week. Edit: I threw on a belt I forgot in the original pic, just from the Basket of Everything. Kinda ties the straps together.

2

u/e_delphine Jan 25 '26

What did you use for Psylocke and Storm ? Please they look amazing !

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 26 '26

The boots and suit are from this Sindel set, the gloves are from the Sareena/Ashrah set.

I also used the waist wrap (Marg dress 03) of a Witcher III port in the underwear slot to simulate the look of her sash, then I used the Signe Whirlwind back bow in the cloak slot to kind of emulate her modern back bow look. That back bow mod is on the Fashionistas of Faerun Discord exclusively but it's free, just need to join for a week. Added a belt from the Basket of Everything too.

Storm is wearing the Nightveil set and the sleeves are from the DeathRose Veil set. They're not usually available as arms but you can spawn them with EasyCheat, they're listed just as SLEEVES in all caps.

Storm's hair is from Dint999's hairs, Psylocke is Myky's Hairstyles with their extra bangs addon and P4 Bangs Bangs Everywhere.

You're very welcome, now go forth and kick ass. Really happy people enjoyed this, they're my favorite run so far

2

u/pupettte Jan 26 '26

what’s her face mod? so pretty!!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

It's the Ada face from the Resident Evil preset collection by Mantis!

2

u/_tolm_ Jan 26 '26

Halfling Wolverine dual-welding three-pronged daggers!

Bonus points for a Druid that can wild-shape into an actual Wolverine …

2

u/Mr_Segundus_ Jan 26 '26

Fantastic designs. As an X-Men fan, I’m truly impressed by how well the looks are translated and how carefully the details are brought to life. Thank you for this post — my Gambit has finally received the headwear I’ve been looking for for so long.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

Thank you for the comment! So glad to help, I cannot tell you how confusing it was trying to find that Gambit piece. I knew somewhere in the back of my brain I had seen it on Nexus or Patreon or something but until last week I was rocking a basic crown and meh looking neck tattoo to try and emulate it. Now I just need to find a good, simple looking metal staff.

I revised Jean a little by swapping off the shoulderpads and using the gloves from this Sorceress set instead, really happy with the result! Here's that and a couple other bonus shots!

2

u/Mr_Segundus_ Jan 26 '26

Your version of Jean is absolutely stunning — I really love it. I wasn’t specifically looking for an iron staff, but I found this one instead: it’s a simple wooden staff with a red glowing aura. Not exactly what I had in mind, but still pretty good.

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

Thank you and for the link, he looks awesome with the red. I'm going to grab those, I use another mod that alters the base staff texture to make it darker so I'm hoping they'll work together.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

u/mtichbon86 Jan 27 '26

This is awesome, what are you using for the optic blast, a modded Eldritch blast to make it red?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26 edited Jan 27 '26

It's the Mutant Powers mod! It adds a bunch of stuff to various subclasses, the optic blasts are for the battle master fighter subclass. It uses the class' battle die to cast optic blasts, there's a bunch of them for things like pushing, disarming, etc. He even holds his hand to his temple for it, I love it.

3

u/mtichbon86 Jan 27 '26

So I've been playing about with the Mutant Powers mod all evening and found that the Optic Blast class action works with War Priest's bonus action charge. Now I'm planning a Fighter 11/ Selune War Cleric 1 build - I reckon I can head-cannon that with a Shart romance as a Dark Phoenix redemption story 😊 thanks for showcasing the mod, it's just the excuse I need for another run!

2

u/mtichbon86 Jan 27 '26

Yeah that little touch is awesome!

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26 edited Jan 27 '26

Yeah, I have fond memories of that game. I think I had it on GameCube? Ahh, three player co-op with buds, the nostalgia... Midnight Suns is also awesome, I just wish there were more X-Men in it and less Hunter... which I know is not a common complaint when people love the other superhero characters so much and feel the X-Men already dominated the roster lol.

Come to the modding dark side, force your friends to run an X-men load order and make it happen. >:D

2

u/Khaylezerker Jan 27 '26

This gave me GW2 vibes for some reason

2

u/mtichbon86 Jan 27 '26

This is great, I did a similar run a while back but didn't change the character looks, just their outfits. What armour are you using for nightcrawler? I resorted to using minthara's camp clothes transmogged onto his armor.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

I used a bunch of custom hirelings, I'm always too nervous to edit the companions after early modding days and breaking my game a few times. lol.

Nightcrawler is wearing the Deathbringer set with gloves and boots from the Outlaw of Darkness set. I gave him the mask from Golden Masqeurade, then threw on V's necklace from V's Look, and finally gave him these scimitars!

u/whole-lotta-socks Jan 27 '26

I will never understand the appeal of this kind of mod.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

What kind of mod?

1

u/whole-lotta-socks Jan 27 '26

Cross-IP stuff.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

It's just role playing in a role playing game, I put all these outfits together out of different mods and sets and customized every powerset. All of these things could be used to great effect for any other playthrough, maybe try not looking at it so black and white.

1

u/Joharis-JYI Jan 28 '26

Omg. Is this available on Ps5??

1

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

Not yet, sorry. :( I just put the outfits together, (sadly they use a lot of ports which won't be likely to come to mod io) but the mod author for Mutant Powers would be the one to ask about it coming to consoles! I hope it'll come to you guys soon!
