[Mod Request] Black Panther animal companion for Beast Master (Ranger)

[Miltiades]

EDIT: Thank you NovaScotianNorse for suggesting the "Drizzt Do'Urden Gear Set 5e" mod! That one is perfect!!

EDIT2: Sadly I can't get that Drizzt mod to work so I'm still looking for a Panther Ranger Companion :sad:

 

Hey everyone :smile:

 

Now I'm not sure if this is even possible to create in BG3 but I was hoping someone could help me out. You see I was wondering if it's possible to create an extra (or alternate) animal companion for Ranger Beast Masters through the "Ranger's Companion" ability; most notably a black panther. I wanted to play a Drow Ranger at some point and he would need a black panther by his side ... for reasons. :laugh:

 

Now I saw that Rangers can summon a decent number of animal companions already but sadly a panther was not among them. I did notice that Druids can turn into a black panther but I'm not sure if that model could also be used to create a mod where it can be set up as a "Ranger's companion" option.

 

So I figured I'd ask here as this is probably the best place to ask. :sweat:

 

Please let me know if this is possible or if maybe someone already created such a mod. Thanks! :thumbsup:

 

 

Greetz, Milt

There is a mod that adds Drizzt's equipment to the game, including a statue of Guenhwyvar that equips into the helmet slot, and summons a black panther familiar, using the tiger stats from 5e. At the moment, I think that's the closest that's available.

Cool! Never thought to actually search for "Drizzt" when checking out the mods on Nexus. I managed to find that particular mod and will check it out. Thanks!! :thumbsup:

Sadly I can't get that Drizzt mod to work. Manual Install resulted in crashing, Vortex resulted in no items (and needing a full reinstall of the game), while BG3 Mod Editor seemed to make all interactable buttons, cutscenes, and other things inoperable with that mod installed while a New Game resulted in me getting stuffed into a dummy chamber with several naked characters. :sad:

 

Seems the mod author also deleted my bug report where I had posted my issues regarding BG3 Mod Manager with a request for help so I guess I'm back to looking for a Ranger Companion mod where the Panther is added as an option in hopes that such a mod could be created by someone.

 

So if there is anybody out there who might be able to add the Panther as an option to the Ranger Animal Companion; I would really appreciate it!!
