This mod adds some of the backgrounds from D&D that give your character additional spells, with a hopefully decent adaptation to BG3's limitations.
These backgrounds are meant to add additional spells to the spell list(s) of your character's class. This isn't possible in BG3, so I've reduced the number of spells gained, in exchange for them being added to your character and not counting against the number of spells you know/spells you can prepare.
I've done my best to use the spells called for by the official text of the backgrounds, however some of them aren't in BG3 and wouldn't work if they were, so I've replaced them (I hope) thematically
Huge thanks to CrimsonEdge7, author of Additional Backgrounds, for letting me use their assets for this
These backgrounds will not gain Inspiration.
