Better Potent Cantrip
The Evocation Wizard unlocks the Potent Cantrip subclass feature at Level 6. Potent Cantrip causes cantrips with a Saving Throw to deal half damage against enemies who succeed against the Saving Throw. Unfortunately, there are no Evocation cantrips in BG3 that use Saving Throws. This mod alters Potent Cantrip to be more suited to an Evocation wizard by making it trigger on attack rolls with Evocation cantrips. This will synergize with Empowered Evocation and scale well into the late game, playing into the Evoker's role as the Wizard's blaster-oriented subclass.
Potent Cantrip:
Your cantrips become harder to evade entirely.
When you fail an attack roll against a creature with an Evocation cantrip, the creature still takes half the cantrip's damage, but suffers no additional effect.
Compatibility
This mod edits the spell records for Acid Splash, Eldritch Blast, Fire Bolt, Poison Spray, Ray of Frost, Sacred Flame, Shocking Grasp, and Vicious Mockery. This means that NPC Wizards who have Potent Cantrip will benefit from from my changes, but Better Potent Cantrip will be incompatible with other mods that touch these seven spells.
Installation
This mod should have no external requirements. I recommend installing it with BG3 Mod Manager, but other mod managers should work as well.
