The Captured Souls or soulshield disappears right after I use Commit Corpse! What is happening?
Soulshield is restricted by any armor (Light, Medium, or Heavy) in any slots including head, chest, gloves, and boots. You will only get the base soulshield and cannot retain captured souls. Wear a robe in the chest/body slot and make sure the pieces you're wearing in head, gloves, and boots slots are also not Light, Medium, or Heavy Armor.
If you insist on wearing armor in any slots, there are three special necromancy-themed armor in Acts 1, 2, and 3 that you can get that unlocks the ability to wear any armor in any slots with soulshield while wearing the special armor. The first one is the Damaged Armor of the Soulshepherd which can be upgraded while in Act 1, the second is the Reaper's Embrace from Ketheric Thorm from Act 2, and the third is the Armor of the Sporekeeper from Mystic Carrion from Act 3.
Is this compatible with level 20 mods?
Yes! Since this a warlock subclass, this mod will work well with mods that add to the warlock progressions. It is tested extensively with UnlockedLevelCurve 13-20! I can only summon or create 1 claw from Crawling Claws!
This is intended if you have Animate Zone active from Animate Dead++. If you want to use corpses, turn off Toggle Corpse Requirements.
Can I disable, change the color, or otherwise modify VFX of spells?
No, you're not allowed to. I will no longer entertain comments that ask about VFX because y'all are rude as hell.
Below are list of bugs that I've personally encountered, some relating to this mod and some are base game bugs:
- Starting robe onMale Githyanki and Male Undead is very bugged. This is a Larian bug. - Choosing the [WARLOCK] dialog option in Act 2 when you first encounter Jaheira at the entrance of the Last Light Inn will get you stuck in an endless loop if you keep choosing [WARLOCK]. Nothing gamebreaking, just choose another option. - Make sure to toggle off Inflict Curse when fighting True Soul Nere, or his head won't spawn to close out the Sovereign Spaw quest. - Bounded thrown weapons sometimes do not return to the wielder. This is a Larian bug. This will impact Skeletal Giant. - Weapon VFX from Necrotic Armaments becomes much more muted when you have Dread Overlord + Path of Undeath together--place Path of Undeath below Dread Overlord to fix this. No idea why this works since PoU doesn't touch Necrotic Armaments. - Oliver/Thaniel fight: do not use Shadow summons against him because they can accidentally kill Oliver by draining his Strength stat to 0. - SubMod is incompatible with this mod. - Permanent Undead, if placed below Dread Overlord, causes issues with summoning Connor.
I recently saw what the spectres look like from the hexblade subclass and they look sick. I was wondering if there was some way to use that model for something in this one. My first thought was maybe something involving the harvested souls in your soulshield? Like maybe when you use one to attack an enemy it turns into a spectre, attacks them, then disappears? Idk, just brainstorming.
Maybe in the future. This is will likely be the last update in a long while, I'm planning to take a 6-month-ish break from modding. By then, you'll probably have moved on to the next game.
Two questions: is there any difference between nexus and mod.io version of the mod? Second, is the counter for the abilities capped at 1 at all times and the augment is a temporary increase for combat only, right?
Yes, it refreshes on Short Rest though. It was recently nerfed. You used to get 2 at level 5, 3 at level 9. But because I changed it to upgraded undead that are stronger than normal zombies, I reduced the number of summons.
You do get 2 starting at level 13 and you still get 10 per Short Rest at level 20. ;)
Ahhh it was an intended patch. Perfect thank you so much!!! The mod is amazing. Also with Connor. Amazing I always wanted something like this with him. I imagine giving him lump's warped headband of intellect to give him 17 intelligence to making him basically a party member so it gives me that vibe/feeling
i get this warning from the console like 10 times upon starting the game, can this be safely ignored? [WARN]: Validation Failure: Mod isn't loaded. Expected UUID: fb5f528d-4d48-4bf2-a668-2274d3cfba96 i only get this warning when Dread Overlord + Addon is in the load order i am on Patch 8 and i use the latest version of all the listed mods

It's just my check for 5eSpells. I have an SE script that checks for the existence of 5eSpells in your modlist and inserts spells that all warlocks are supposed to be able to learn (based on 5e rules) into the Dread Overlord spell lists.
Thanks for the update! I've found a small issue. Dread Overlord Full Release V8.7. I'm not sure if there's anything you can do on your end, but for some reason the shadowblade is fine (base game) with the "until long rest" duration until lv3 warlock spell slots, and then it turns into "10 turns" which I think is the 5e version. It is pretty unfortunate.
I am playing Necromancer Warlock. and I haven't tested above lv3 Warlock spell slots.
I have no other mod that touches warlocks and its my only modded class. I do have 5e spells.
Unrelated to me, unfortunately. I don't touch Shadow Blade, I only added the vanilla spell to the spell list. It sounds like either you have a mod that modifies it (as in, 5e Spells or Mystra's Spells or any spell mods, have you updated it?) or it's a Larian bug.
Thanks for flagging though, so other folks can see your issue and realize it's not related to my mod.
Thanks for flagging, I see what I did. Looks like Larian uses two different vanilla Shadow Blade spells. One of which has the same entry name as the one from 5eSpells.
Anyway, I'll swap to the other one and this will be in the next update.
Not sure if this is a bug or user error, but I just reached Level 5, I've got Pact of the Blade + Necrotic Armaments going, and I'm not stealing life... am I missing something?
I tried reapplying Bind Pact Weapon and Necrotic Armaments, just to make sure everything was reset... and no dice. I'm using the Deathsong set, so I've currently got the basic Rusty Blacksword from that. It deals +1d4 Necrotic damage in addition to the 2d4 Nec that NecArms gives, so I'm definitely dealing plenty of damage... but I'm not healing anything : /
I need more information. What Patch are you on? Which version of the mod did you download? Are you using mods that changes the Pact Boons list? Are you using a mod that overhauls warlocks?
I can't guess unless you give me more information beyond "mod broke, pls fix."
I am on Patch 8. I am using mod version 8.5. I do use 5e Spells (despite the fact that it isn't updated for P8). This is the only mod I'm using that touches warlocks. I am not using either Animate Dead++ or Expanded Invocations, so I am not using your patches for them I am using the Deathsong mod, and a couple of the patches for that, but I don't think it would be anything that would interfere with this function. I am primarily using the Rusty Blacksword (from Deathsong), but I've tested this with a summoned Pact Weapon and a standard shortsword as well. I have tested this on both undead enemies and living enemies. I have tested this on both undead allies and living allies. I have tested this before and after toggling all relevant features.
Please let me know if any other information would help.

JumpThe mod or something else doesn't work!?

Where are the Totems of the Necromancer?
There is an article devoted to it. You can read the locations here.
Is there a tabletop version of the mod?
Yes, there is. This is a work-in-progress (WIP), but you can read the tabletop version here.

how does that work exactly?
What's the percent chance of regaining a spell slot?
You're gonna need to provide more information, buddy. Are you talking about the passive? Or some other thing?

Are you using Path of Undeath, by chance?
This should be working in version 8.7.
Thanks for looking into that! I'll look forward to 8.7.
