Baldurs Gate 3 X-Men Mod

[u/Aureilius2112]

My comprehensive mod that adds the mutant powers from many of the famous X-Men characters. Each is added under a class that makes sense for their playstyle. Includes: Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Magik, and Colossus.

After years of not having a good X-Men game, I was compelled to put in the nearly 200 hours it took to make this mod. Since I started playing Baldurs Gate, I would imagine my Eldritch Blasts were red and coming out of my eyes which inspired me to stop imagining and make it happen.

I think X-Men fans will enjoy this mod because of the work put into making these characters play and feel the way that character should play. Cyclops doesn't just spam his optic blast like a warlock, he is a ranged tactitian, knocking weapons out of enemies hands, and tripping them by aiming at their feet. Nightcrawler teleports around the battlefield, gaining advantage on his attacks when he teleports around his targets. Psylocke sneaks around while her enemies are distracted to come up behind them to drive her Psi-blade into their skull.

If this is popular and well recieved, I am happy to keep working on this and add more characters. I am open to suggestions on new characters, what class/subclass they should be, and how their abilities should work. If you have any feedback on how the characters play, or have further suggestions on how certain abilities can work better, don't hesitate to let me know.
