About this mod
Hex Strength without having to find it in a list of worse alternatives. Remove sound and VFX from the recast buff. Allow spell slot selection when multiclassed.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Hex is used primarily for damage, not the ability check debuff, and Strength is almost always the debuff you want as other ability checks don't come up much in combat... which makes it annoying to have to pick an ability on every cast.
Ability selection also prevents spell slot selection when you've multiclassed Warlock with another caster and have multiple types of spell slots.
This mod removes the ability selection - Hex will always debuff Strength checks - which requires one less click to cast and allows the spell slot list to appear.
The annoying floating VFX and looping sound when Recast Hex is available are also removed, as well as the spell slot cost of the original spell.
An alternative version is available that removes the Recast Hex temporary spell entirely, as it's now redundant.
Checks, Not Saves
Hex is often misunderstood: It debuffs Ability Checks, not Saving Throws.
Selecting Hex (Wisdom) will not help you land Wisdom Save spells.
The ability checks that come up in combat are:
