[Baldur's Gate 3] Mod request - Sword of Zariel

[allmarshall]

Well, i neve used this forum before and just find a few interesting topics, so... if i'm doing something wrong here or making this post somewhere place not allowed, i beg your pardon!!!! And also for my english, i'm brazilian and counting on the help of my poor vocabulary and some phrases translated on Google lol

Well, getting straight to the point (or maybe not so much). I would like to request a mod.

Not just any mod, but a very specific one about a specific object that i fell in love with after discovering it recently in my research on DnD stuff.

I KNOW, i should learn to do it myself. But to be honest, i don't think i have the capacity for this lol. Just playing around with editing the "Whispers of the Divine: Aasimar" mod i realized how difficult it must be to dedicate yourself to making a single mod and trying to keep it updated along with the various game patches that come out over time, and i don't even have the slightest knowledge about creating a mod from zero point. I'm already almost breaking several game saves a week just using a Cheat Engine cheat table, so try to imagine what it would be like to try to create a mod.

But anyway, as i was already saying, and adding... I would really like a mod for the "Sword of Zariel" item. I realized that not only is it a awesome weapon, but it would also match well (historically speaking) with the period in which the third act of the game takes place, in addition to being a simply insane item.

I mean, i don't mind the part where she "has to choose who will wield it" or even the fact that she's a sentient sword, both things that i know are extremely difficult to apply in the game (especially the last) if not in a role play. Just based on her stats and some features, i would think it would be incredible to have her in the game. A sword capable of practically transforming the wielder into a type of Aasimar, bringing various buffs, feats and including a pair of wings to be used at will... Game breaking ?? I know!! But still, sensational.

That's why I decided to create an account just to come here and humbly request a mod like this.

My idea would be to use the same bases, for example, as the "Whispers of the Divine" mod, where an activatable passive has recently been implemented in which you can activate or deactivate the character's wings (which could extend to the sword's glow, like the Blood of Lathander mace, that have the option to turn off that glow, which is sometimes annoying and irrelevant/unnecessary). Adding the animation of the wings flapping when walking (Deva-like) and also the immunity to terrain effects (such as impregnated surfaces, difficult terrain, etc.) as it is basically floating and immunity to fall damage as in the Solar/Aasimar mods (although visually doesn't make sense, since when motionless the character is still standing on the ground).

I could talk forever about countless ideas i have in mind but i even have idea if this is a possible mod ;-; I would just really like a mod for Sword of Zariel.

If it's possible and someone is interested in trying, i will sketch out the ideas i have below (even if they're not possible) and all the official dnd details arround this weapon... I really don't know anything about modding but i would find the opportunity incredible...

Anyway, if anyone has read this far, thank you very much for reading and have a great day and also have a great game!!!

— +3 sword;

— 1d8 Slashing + Radiant Damage (2d8 if single-handed and 3d10 if two-handed, like the lore);

— A weapon that requires Bond (since the game doesn't has attunement) to demonstrate its true power and returns to the user's hand if thrown, in addition to being unable to be dropped and granting immunity to being frightened or charmed.

— A pair of wings that come with the passive where we can activate and deactivate them (could be like Whispers of the Divine, for example, where an item is placed in place of the underwear with the wings and removed from the inventory when the passive is disabled);

— The celestial resistance (necrotic and radiant);

— A passive similar to that of the mace "The Blood of Lathander" (Lathander's Light) where we can deactivate its brightness, or, more advanced, a bonus action where we can increase its brightness for a few turns and cause disadvantages in attacks against the bearer during that time duration (which may even have its effectiveness restricted against a specific species of race);

— In the sword details on the wiki there is "An evil creature that takes this radiant damage must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn", which would be interesting;

— Likewise, there is also "Truth Seer. While holding the sword, you gain advantage on all Wisdom (Insight) checks";

— Perhaps a version of the lvl 2 spell of the Cleric class "Spiritual Weapon", but only with the sword format where it would only give slashing damage or only radiant damage;

— Holy Smite (a modified version of paladin smites, perhaps) usable once per long rest;

— Divine Presence. Your Charisma score becomes 20, unless it is already 20 or higher (as on the wiki, which greatly favors a paladin lol);

— Truesight: Your eyes become luminous pools of silver. You can see in normal and magical darkness, see invisible creatures and objects, automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on saving throws against them, perceive the original form of a shapechanger or a creature that is transformed by magic, and see into the Ethereal Plane, all within a range of 60 feet;

Also... A kind of silly idea I had, too, is that it could be like some of those mods out there that allow "progress" according to the user. Whether through upgrades combining items and restricting certain benefits to certain levels (usually 5, 10 and 12 or 4, 8 and 12)... I see this in the "Empyrean Bow" mod and love it  really awesome.

But that's already wanting too much hahaha

Well, that's a LOT for a weapon, i know. But I would still love it *.*
