Version 1.1 Update:
Since the initial 1.0 release of this mod, I have been continuing to work towards this update, as well as a brand new paired mod: Order of the Kraken Trident
These two mods are intended to work together to better deliver on my initial thematic concept for this mod.
Both items have plentiful bonuses and effects. I will write an article to list all features of the Cloak and Trident and explain in detail.
In short, the Order of the Kraken Cloak and Trident are vanilla game items with additional armor and weapon properties and effects stacked on. They have powerful baseline enchantments as well as many new Cold, Thunder, and Lightning elemental spells, features, and status conditions. The Cloak and Trident have many interrelating abilities and effects. Several of these effects are pulled from different stormy and elemental late-game equipment sets which, while fun, are only available deep into Act 2 and 3. My original thematic concept was to take some of the interesting BG3 electrical, freezing, wet, and thunderous effects from late-game items and bring them forward to play with in a mod package, under the guise of the mythical and mysterious Order of the Kraken.


My first mod, inspired by the 2024 Modathon and Ginny Di's Kraken Week!
Part of the July Modathon
As a late entrant, I only had about 1 day to learn how to do this and turn this project around, so I was a bit rushed.

The Order of the Kraken Cloak is imbued with several empowering magical enchantments of the Deep.
Prerequisites: Mod Fixer and Summon Tutorial Chest
Installation: Drag and drop into active load order on BG3MM, load later than the Summon Tutorial Chest mod.
Bugs: TBD
