Installation:

1. Unzip all files into your BG:EE, BG2:EE, or IWD:EE folder.
2. Double-click on the Setup-BetterStatDrain application.
3. The WeiDu window will pop up. Follow the prompt and WeiDu will install the mod on your game. This can also reinstall or uninstall the mod.

This mod gives ability score drain, whether it comes from an Archer's Called Shot or a mage's mind flayer attack, the ability to defeat plot-immune creatures without breaking scripts. It also allows stat drain kills to give XP.

Various characters in the games have special items that prevent them from going below 1 HP, and in EE, they also prevent stat drain from killing them. Unfortunately, the EE innovation means that stat drain is almost useless against many bosses--but if you remove it, you run the risk of breaking the game by killing a character who's critical to the plot.

This mod changes that by applying an effect to every minimum HP item in the game: whenever the creature in question is hit, the game checks their current ability scores and, if any of them are below 2, reduces their HP to 1, triggering any dialogues or script changes that are supposed to happen when they are defeated. Thus, trolls will fall down and bosses will give their final dialogue lines if they "die" to stat drain.
