(Mod Request) Spiderstep Staff mod and possible variants?

[Miltiades]

Hey there everybody! :smile:

 

While browsing the internet I noticed that in Early Access there was apparently a staff called "Spiderstep Staff" with "Immune to being Enwebbed" that appeared to be a pretty cool staff with a spider ornament on top. It seems that this staff is no longer available in the released version for some reason though. I assume that Larian removed it because the Spiderstep Boots (found under the Blighted Village) already provided the same benefits. Still, if this staff does have a unique design with a spider ornament I would love to have a mod so that I'd be able to find it or purchase it at a store.

 

 

Not sure if this staff is still in the gamefiles though but if so, could someone create a mod so that my Drow spellcasters could walk around with this type of staff?

 

The original version was listed as Uncommon and gave you "Immune to being Enwebbed". That would already be a great staff to find in Act1 but I was wondering if it would also be possible to create a Rare version and possibly a Very Rare variant as well where each would have effects depending on their rarity that stay in the theme while still allowing for a character to keep using the same style staff throughout the game. Maybe by adding extra effects depending on their rarity?

 

For example:

 

Staff of Spiders

Rare

16d / 1d8

Immune to being Enwebbed

Summon Spider (once per Long Rest) <= "Find Familiar: Spider" effect

 

Lolth's Servant

Very Rare

1d6+1 / 1d8+1

Immune to being Enwebbed

Arcane Enchantment (+1 bonus to Spell Save DC and spell attack rolls)

Web spell (once per Long Rest)

Weapon Enchantment +1

 

I think that these shouldn't make the staffs too unbalanced as I definitely wouldn't want some kind of overpowered super item. I think it would be cool to have a Drow caster or priestess with a staff that is adorned by a spider.

 

Not sure if this is even possible to create though as I'm completely unfamiliar with how these mods are created for Baldur's Gate 3. I had more experience with modding for Bethesda games. :sweat:

 

As to where to find them I would love to either buy them at specific vendors or perhaps enemy Drow spellcasters in the Underdark could carry them (or found on the petrified Drow remains near the Spectator perhaps); or (if possible) they could be located in suitable areas like the room of that Drow who was obsessed with becoming a spider in the tunnels underneath the Blighted Village (Phase Spider area), the altar near the Bibberbang field with those Lolth's Candle items or the stone table near the Spectator (that small overlook area with the chest covered by those giant webs that used to have the Frayed Drow Hood in EA if I remeber correctly). Maybe a good place for that Very Rare staff could be Moonrise Towers in the room where Araj Oblodra works (or have her sell the item perhaps) or the room of the Drow Twins in Act3 where the player may need to steal it from them.

 

Ofcourse I would already be very happy with just the Item ID code of the regular Uncommon staff (provided the staff actually exists in the datafiles and I don't even know if there really was such a staff model ingame). I'm not sure how to spawn items through ID codes though. So if someone could give me some tips I'd appreciate it very much!! :thumbsup:

 

Now I know this may be a long shot; but I figured I'd ask as I would love to have a mod that could create several versions of this particular staff (provided it's actually in the files). :laugh:

 

THANKS!!
