Hello, there! I'm Bardez. You may remember me from such mods as "Thalantyr Item Upgrade Mod Extensions" and "Baldur's Gate Trilogy". Well, I'm here to introduce my latest creation: Caster Crafting, a mod for BG:EE, BG2:EE, and IWD:EE
Currently in a stable beta, Caster Crafting allows you to:
Yes, finally, a use for all that gold, aside from tossing some of it towards saving Imoen!
Caster Crafting will allow the player to share that one rare spell amongst all the mages and bards; allow clerics to stock up on healing supplies; ready fighters with Stoneskin; brew all the fireball flasks; and much, much more.
With the right install options, this mod will install many new potions (95+), scrolls (looking at you, Priest spells!), and add two items that drive the crafting to spell shops near you. There's even a component for installing leveled-effect scrolls, letting you spend like crazy to abuse Spell 50
The mod currently supports two common spell addition mods:
I spent the past few days writing up somewhat extensive documentation, so feel free to poke around, read the recipes and the overall manifesto (kidding).
So... some examples:
cheat off of your friend's notes
hoard spells for a rainy day
navigate menus
scribe some scrolls
scribe all the scrolls
brew a potion
... maybe get carried away
As I stated, Caster Crafting is in a fairly stable beta state, and since some components are big, I'm looking for people to test it out, give feedback, and see what works and what can be improved.
Future Plans:
