Update 2.0.0.0

With this release, I've setup the ability to configure what spells you can gain through a .json file, the details of which will be found below. I'll soon™ be coming off my hiatus and start adding new spells since I've finished the game and finalizing a few other mod projects I've been working on.

This mod is one of the many that serve to add an additional selection of spells from 1st level spells up to 9th* level (including cantrips) for all classes and their spell list. Additional lists include the Spell Sniper and Ritual Caster spell lists for spells made in this mod. My purpose in creating this mod was to be implemented in a number of other mods (most  especially my own) to enable additional options, though it is entirely capable of being used alone for the 1st to 6th level spells for the base game. Some specifically require the script extender to work, which should be noted below in the list of spells but for those unable to use the script extender, there are the optional 5e Spells Spell List and 5e Spells Cantrip List mods.

Additionally of note, the spells that would serve as ritual spells added by this mod operate in a similar fashion by only those considered ritual casters, being Bard, Cleric, Druid, Wizard and Warlocks with the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation. Wizards in particular gain a separate ritual spell under the Common tab of the hotbar that allows them to cast any of the applicable ritual spells without needing to prepare them (includes Find Familiar as well for the time being). These work based off the DnD source material works rather than Larian's method for those using the script extender. There might be some hiccups that occur, however, so let me know if you run into issues with those ritual spells (Detect Magic, Unseen Servant, Water Walk and Commune With Nature).

* To gain access to spells above 6th level, you must use a mod that includes the spell lists from this mod. Otherwise, they will be unavailable.

If you're using the script extender, when the mod is loading up and just before reaches the startup menu, it'll create a 5eSpells.json and 5eSpells,RAW file at the following location if there currently isn't one located there: AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Script Extender\5eSpells. You can modify either file using any text editor like Notepad, Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Below is a description of each file:

5eSpells.json - Within this file, by default, you'll see a number of options falling under the "Spells" category, being "Cantrips", "TCoE"* and "5e", along with various levels from 1st to 9th for the latter two. Everything in the ,json is enabled by default due to being set to "true". If you change the text for one of the options to false or leave it empty, that should prevent spells of that given option from being added to spell lists. If you would prefer to set it up beforehand, you can also simply download the .json to abovementioned location from my github here by clicking the "Download raw file" towards the upper right hand corner underneath the History button. Be sure to create the "5e Spells" folder in "Script Extender" if doing it this way.

5eSpells_RAW - Within this file are currently two option but there is a chance I'll add more for the purpose of bringing some base game spells closer to how they work in DnD, such as their durations or range. By default, both are set to "false". If "Spare the Dying" is enabled to "true", the Help action should be modified so it requires a DC 10 Medicine check to successfully stabilize a downed creature (also without granting the 1 hit point).  If "Raise Dead" is set to "true", the Revivify spell and its respective scrolls should only be allowed to resurrect a creature that has been dead for 10 turns.

* This option, which is abbreviated from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, are a number of spells that were optionally opened up to other classes that were originally limited when the aforementioned book was released some time following Dungeon and Dragon's 5e edition first Player Handbook and the list of such can be found here for clarity or other websites. These are specifically limited to the base game spells. Additionally, enabling any of this section's 3rd, 5th, 7th or 9th level spells will result in every TCoE spell being added to the Bard's Magical Secrets (same applies to the "5e" section for this mod's spells).



There are a number of additional changes and fixes along the lines of quality of life this mod offers which includes the following:

With all of that said, the spells added in this mod are:
