The Standard Awesome Modpack is a content mod for the BG1 portion of EET.
Available on GitHub

A content mod for Baldur's Gate 1, with a focus on balance, encouraging exploration, and allowing the player to make decisions between benefits and drawbacks. The exact additions of each component are detailed in their respective README files. Each component is separate and can be installed with or without any other component(s).

Major Components
Book Merchant in Baldur's Gate - Replaces one of the generic 'General Store' merchants in Baldur's Gate with a merchant who sells books that offer permanent modifications. These modifications have both benefits and drawbacks, meaning you won't need (or want) to buy them all. Includes some minor fetch quests that unlock additional books. Great way to spend heaps of late-game gold (and some experience)!

Minor Components
More Cursed Items - 15 new cursed items throughout the Sword Coast that spice up previously unexciting encounters and disappointing containers! The added items are balanced around being just useful enough to situationally offset their drawbacks.
Bonus Spell Sequencers - Two new low-level spell sequencers at spells levels which do not have them (level 3 and level 5). Note that the AI does not yet use them, so this changes the balance in the player's favor.

Tweaks
Intelligence to Read Stat Tomes - Makes vanilla stat tomes/manuals require 9 intelligence or higher to read (same as scrolls).

    Thanks for letting me know! Apparently the repository is flagged, so I need to go through support to reinstate it. I'll update here once it's either fixed or I've moved to another platform.

    Edit: It seems to be fixed now!

    Just Released v1.0.1, which increases the downsides of several books in the Book Merchant component in order to better balance the upsides.
