Description

These Dragonborn Racial and  Breath Weapon changes aim to ENHANCE your dragonborn fantasy by infusing your breath weapon with the might of dragons without becoming overpowered and add some quality of life changes as Dragonborn racials. Most changes are inspired by Fizban's Treasury of Dragons DnD book but there are also additional adjustments by me (a bit inspired by Divinity Original Sin 2) to further bring fun to the race and make it a worthwhile pick versus other races' racial features in Baldur's Gate 3's game balance.
Compatible with level 20 mods.

Compatibility

Compatible with anything. Mod mainly adds new content and merges it into the race for maximum compatibility. Only thing that could be a conflict would be if you are using a mod that also modifies the base Dragonborn Breath Weapon spells, but in that case just load my mod after theirs and things should be fine.

Some of my other mods (all compatible with this mod)

Eldritch Knight Plus! - New Passives, Rebalancing and MORE!: my big mod of changes to Eldritch Knight to make it a more balanced, fun and specially viable class in the context of Baldur's Gate 3's game-balance. A lot of changes, chief among them a rebalanced spell progression and new passives.

OneDnD - Eldritch Knight - War Magic and Improved War Magic: my OneDnD War Magic and Improved War Magic mod. Built on top of Argelia's OneDnD Fighter mod (that implements War Magic of OneDnD), this mod applies many bugfixes and upgrades to Argelia's War Magic implementation and additionally adds a new implementation to also include Improved War Magic (learned at lvl 12 of Eldritch Knight).

War Magic Enhanced: Another War Magic mod made by community request, adjusts War Magic so Eldritch Knight can cast cantrips as a Bonus Action instead of an Action. This effect can be toggled on or off at any time. The standalone version has a special version made to be Compatible with OneDnD Fighter 2024 mod by Argelia. Check the standalone version mod for details.

Eldritch Knight Spellcasting Modifier UI BUGFIX : my mod to fix the annoying visual bug that causes the Spellbook and Level-up windows to display the wrong Spellcasting Modifier when playing an Eldritch Knight.

Closing words

I'm open to suggestions about the balance of this mod. I try to keep it balanced in the context of Baldur's Gate 3 on Honour Mode (not in the abstract context of DnD 5e). If you have any suggestions to make the balance better let me know.

Remember to Endorse if you enjoyed the mod! And if you would like to tip/support my mod creation (click image) I would highly appreciate it:
