About this mod
Mod is based on the existing one https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/5018?tab=description
That's my reworked version since in comments are people who would like to see this class more balanced.
Tbh I had no time to test it, class gameplay wasn't changed much. Changes are most related to effects, animations, balance and progress.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Progression:
Level 3
Passive

Level 4

Level 5

Level 6

Level 7

Level 8

Level 9
Class Action
Blood Essence (class action resource)
PS: Now contains Russian translation.
PSS: These changes may effect original gameplay and might be not so balanced as supposed because used along with other mods as 5e spells, sneak and cunning attack mod, armor overhaul, mobility overhaul, weapon overhaul, shields overhaul and many others. So feel free to use if you like.
NOTE: Known issue with Bloodbane Corruption on lvl 6. If anyone try to move the cursor on the icon while in lvl up window game is gonna be crashed. I have no idea what kind of error is this and not gonna fix this as far it doesn't affect a gameplay.
IMPORTANT
Due to updates this doesn't work as expected. In order to fix this follow the guide
1. First, download the following tool to be able to pack/unpack the mod: https://github.com/ShinyHobo/BG3-Modders-Multitool/releases
2. Go to the Public\Game\GUI\Assets\Bloodletter directory, and copy the subfolders to its Public\Game\GUI\Assets parent folder.
3. Inside the Public\Game\GUI\Assets\Shared\Resources, create three new folders: Highlight, Used, and Missing.
4. Move the ico_classRes_BloodEssence.dds icon to Highlight, the ico_classRes_BloodEssence_missing.dds to Missing, and the ico_classRes_BloodEssence_used.dds to Used.
5. Then, rename each file inside of its corresponding subfolder to BloodDie.DDS [IMPORTANT: Capitalize the extension dds to DDS, otherwise it will not work]
6. Copy the Highlight version of the file to the parent route (Public\Game\GUI\Assets\Shared\Resources).
7. Move to Public\Game\GUI\Assets\ClassIcons\hotbar, and rename the icon to simply Bloodletter.DDS.
Not sure if these next two steps are necessary, but including them just in case:
8. Go to Public\Game\GUI\Assets\ActionResources_c\Icons and create a new folder called Resources, then move everything into it.
9. Now move to this new folder, and create Highlight, Used, and Missing folders, and move each corresponding icon to its subfolder. Also rename the icons to BloodDie.DDS [Again, don't forget the capitalization]
With all of the icons properly named and in position, go to Public\Game\GUI\Assets, and create a metadata.lsf file with the following code. If you do not know how to make a LSF file (like me lol) just copy and paste the lsf file found here Public\Bloodletter\ActionResourceDefinitions, rename it to metadata, and edit its content with notepad++.
Finally, repack the mod and import it.
All icons should show up correctly now, hopefully.
