Jump- Praise - Great change to Vengeance's Vow of Enmity (bonus damage = CHA modifier), much more mathematically appropriate.
- Bug(?) - Getting Description Not Found for Holy Rebuke (investigating whether it's just my load order)
I couldn't help but notice that the recent update removes Paladin's 2nd channel oath charge at level 7. I understand the stated reason for this in the channel log was that it was considered to de-value Vengeance's Relentless Avenger ability. However, even with all subclasses having 2 channel oath charges, I would argue that Oath of Vengeance still stands out among all of them by having a way to regain a channel oath charge (via Relentless Avenger). Additionally, I really liked the original idea of giving paladins 2 channel oath charges, because that made it equal to Cleric having 2 channel divinity charges. It always bothered me that in the vanilla game, Paladins realistically could only use 1 channel oath power in combat, whereas Clerics had the ability to use up to 2 channel divinity powers in combat. I really liked being able to use both of Paladin's channel oath powers in combat thanks to this mod. I am honestly disappointed that you decided to revert this Paladin feature back to what was arguably a worse gameplay mechanic in the vanilla game. Is there any chance that you might consider re-adding the 2nd channel oath charge?
Also, I don't understand the decision to reduce Nature's Wrath targets from 3 to 2 but I am mostly indifferent to it.
Now enough of my complaining, I do also have some praise. I really like the decision to change frightened so that it doesn't require a wisdom saving throw to end the effect. For my Vengeance build, I always dump Dexterity to put more points into Strength and Constitution. By doing this, my Tav usually goes near the end of the turn, so frightening enemies gave them a higher chance of breaking the effect before it could be useful, so I like the change.
I also have one last question. I left a previous comment about how killing an enemy affected by Vow of Enmity with a divine smite doesn't seem to trigger Relentless Avenger. Has this issue been fixed in the recent update?
If I were to give Paladin 2 channel oath charges again, I would likely remove the charge refund on Relentless Avenger. I don't like how these two ideas sit together and in my eyes it's one or the other. I went with Relentless Avenger because I thought it was more important to Vengeance's fantasy than the 2 charges are to Paladin as a whole, and Paladin having fewer uses than Cleric doesn't feel terribly wrong to me because Paladin isn't meant to be casting as much, and there's still an item or two that restores a use. I'm yet unsure as to which choice is the ideal outcome.
That said, I'll be thinking about it and potentially changing this as needed, same as the Nature's Wrath nerf.
Note: I am familiar with unpaking and paking mods and navigating files, just want to know where this can be fixed.
- C) I couldn't get the new Judgments to interact properly with the Divine Smite interrupts due to how they're coded; even vanilla code designed to account for interrupt Smite doesn't work properly. So I decided it was best to just cut it altogether, because I like Judgments more than interrupts when forced to choose one or the other.
if so i could you change the oath of the crown subclass to have new spells and stuff
still works on Patch 8 though, besides the new subclass not showing up on the level up screen
EDIT:
Thanks to the help of Seasonstay on how to fix this mod for Patch 8:
UNPACK YOUR MOD:
1) download BG3 multitool here and open bg3-modders-multitool.exe
2) drag&drop Lightbringer- A Paladin Overhaul.pak into the "drop mod workspace folder or a mod .pak here" area
3) within the "UnpackedMods" folder (where you installed your BG3 multitool) you can now find the unpacked mod
ADD A FEW LINES IN THE PROGRESSIONS.LSX:
4) head to the following folder and open up progressions.lsx with any txt file editor:
..\bg3-modders-multitool\UnpackedMods\Lightbringer- A Paladin Overhaul\Public\Lightbringer- A Paladin Overhaul\Progressions\Progressions.lsx
5) add the highlighted lines in the progressions.lsx and then save&close
6) head back to this folder:
..\bg3-modders-multitool\UnpackedMods
and drag&drop the folder "Lightbringer- A Paladin Overhaul" back into the area in the BG3 mutlitool
your edited file will be re-packed into a .pak file again
7) Enjoy Lightbringer - A Paladin Overhaul on Patch 8 as "Oath of the Crown" <3
thanks for the workaround!
i wish we could get an update for this mod on Patch 8, by far the best paladin mod out there!
Or if author allow it i can post an updated version (unlikely to get a response here tbh).
would be much appreciated to get some tips on how to make Oath of the Crown show up while this mod is active
optionally you could just post an updated version in the comments and the author can just take it down once he decides to come back and update this incredible mod <3
thank you in advance!
This is an option you can try.
For immersive roleplaying purposes, I recommend challenging yourself not to use any of the Paladin's smites or spells that you would normally get as an oathkeeper Paladin. It only makes sense that if you break your oath and lose all of your divine magic that you wouldn't have access to those powers anymore, even though you still keep them in game.
I also recommend using a mod that enables your Paladin to choose a deity that they swear their oath to. Like this one: Paladins Deity at Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus - Mods and community
If your Paladin breaks their oath, it's a sin against their patron deity. In order to atone and retake their oath, consider traveling on a pilgrimage to Stormshore Tabernacle in Baldur's Gate and pray to the Paladin's patron deity for their blessing. Then and only then go and pay the Oathbreaker Knight to retake your oath. This is what I did with my redemption arc oathbreaker Tav who was sworn to Corellon Larethian. It made the loss of his grace and divine power weigh even heavier. And it makes retaking the oath even more meaningful and fulfilling. If this was a tabletop 5e campaign, the DM would likely require the player to do something similar.
Of course, you don't have to do any of that, it's just some roleplaying ideas.
Slight question though. I noticed the Ranged Smites, I'm only at level 4 Paladin, but the Level 1 Ranged Smite is showing 29-52 damage, but the Level 2 spell slot Ranged Smite is 3-18 damage. Havent used it in combat yet but was curious why that is.
