Hi Guys,

Around 2 years ago I played with the mod which added the hand and the eye of Vekna into Ribald merchandise (I guess but I may be wrong). Do you have any idea what is the mod? I can't rememeber if the mod did more than that.

Cheers,
Matt

    The head of Vecna is an old tale from a D&D game.

    You can get the Eye of Vecna in Planescape Torment.

    I think this is the mod in question...

    SHS Forum thread
    Sorcerer's Place

    Though looking at latest posts/update date it won't work with current version of the game =/

    P.S.
    Pozdrawiam! =P

    I was just wondering about that same mod today. It also added an axe and a strength enhancing Girdle to Joluv's inventory.

    The Hand and Eye of Vecna were added to Deidre's inventory.

    Yeah Deidre! And she is at Ribald's. That's why I mistaken that. Still no clue :(

    My best guess is that some sort of quest mod added them, because I've only been using BWS to install mods. Right now, I'm in the middle of a play through, so I don't want to go through the trouble of re-installing everything. But what I do know, it's not a mod under "Stores and Items", because I have every one of those mods installed right now. It could also be one of the "Big Mods" because some of them add items as well.

    The Planar Sphere Mod (working download links) adds an Eye of Vecna.
    You can pluck out your own eye, and put it in its place (Planescape: Torment style) for some overpowered bonuses.
    It doesn't add it to a store though, but rather...
    ...you have to defeat the Shade of Vecna to get it. He has multiple Liches and Adamantine Golems as his minions, so yeah... not as easy as strolling into the Adventurer's Mart and just buying it! :)

    is there a way to get this to work on a mac?
    Keep getting error

    @saber0:

    It's an old mod that was made for the classic BG2 on Windows. However, the BiG World Fixpack makes it also work on BG2:EE, and on Mac & Linux. Windows users who want to play the mod on BG2:EE, can simply use the Big World Setup tool to install it (and any other mods), which applies the aforementioned Fixpack automatically. Mac & Linux users need to apply the Fixpack manually, which is a bit more involved. Instructions here. Remember to first extract the Planar Sphere Mod (and other mods) into your game folder but not install them yet, then apply the BiG World Fixpack, then install the mods.

    Also, make sure to always extract mods into the actual game folder (the one which has the CHITIN.KEY file) – depending on you operating system and the distributor you bought the game from, it may be placed inside a wrapper folder.

    The Eye and Hand of Vecna are actually more like creatures than items from what I have heard...

    One of these two mods adds the hand and eye of Vecna to the merchant lady in Ribailds shops. Just can't remember which one.

    It's @Abdel_Adrian's Eldritch Magic that adds those items, linked by @Necromanx2 above.
