Excalibur- An FFXIV Inspired Sword Mod adds a new sword for paladins and spellblades complete with custom themed stats and abilities. It takes the form of Excalibur from Final Fantasy XIV (model courtesy of Hijimare).


A holy blade that glows with a regal presence, once wielded by a paladin king from a faroff land. When paired with a shield, its divine power surges within the wielder.
Stats:

The design intent behind this weapon was to give spellswords a dedicated one-handed option meant to be paired with a shield. Its abilities are made in homage to the Paladin job from Final Fantasy XIV, and is best used in the hands of a Paladin, Swords Bard, Pact of the Blade Warlock, or some other configuration of "gish."

Excalibur
Legendary
1d8/1d10 Slashing + 1d6 Radiant
Sword Oath: While wielding this weapon with a shield, successful attacks grant Divine Acuity for 1 turn.
Divine Acuity: Entity has +2 to all Attack Rolls and Spell Save DC, and may consume this buff to cast Holy Spirit.
Shield Oath: While wielding this weapon with a shield, your maximum hit points increase by 15, and you have Advantage on Spell Saving Throws.
Note: You must have a shield equipped before equipping the sword for the health increase to trigger. If you equip a shield after, your health will not increase until you re-equip the sword.
Weapon Enchantment +3
Unlocked Weapon Action: Holy Spirit (once per short rest)

Holy Spirit: Engulf a target in a flame-like radiance, dealing 4d4 Radiant damage, and restoring 2d4 hit points to you. A successful save reduces the damage and recovered hit points by half. This spell uses the wielder's Spell Save DC.

Excalibur can be found in Yurgir's treasure hoard next to the yummy spider carcass in the Gauntlet of Shar, Act 2.


Requirements/Special Thanks:
The model for this weapon is graciously provided by Hijimare, who I am deeply grateful for letting me use his port, and setting things up such that the only requirement for this mod is Norbyte's Script Extender, to make the Virtual Textures work. Please check out and support both creators in whatever ways you feel comfortable with. They're amazing.

Special thanks also to MaxTheMiracle, for originally porting this weapon to Elden Ring (where it was then ported to BG3), and Larian Studios for making an incredible game.

FAQ/Notes:
I will not be adding this mod to the tutorial chest. Use Hijimare's version for that. If you want the UUID, check the comments.
This mod is, at this time, more or less finished. I'm open to suggestions to improve the balance as needed. However, it is functionally done and should be well-fitted to the game as is. Thanks for checking it out!
