Features at a Glance (for a more in-depth explanation, read here)
Experience the Chaos
"Absolute Wrath" introduces nearly 2000 affixes, merging existing in-game mechanics with an array of new, custom-designed ones. Each battle, from the depths of the Underdark to the bustling streets of Baldur's Gate, takes on a new dimension as creatures are randomly altered by The Absolute's influence, adding an element of unpredictability to every encounter.
Intelligent Affix System
This mod implements a tier-based affix system which carefully allocates enhancements to creatures, aligning them with their innate traits, classes, and levels. This strategic assignment, combined with a touch of randomness, ensures that every encounter is both thematic and unforeseeably chaotic, escalating in complexity as you progress.
Join the adventure. Embrace the Wrath
As the mysteries of The Absolute unravel, are you ready to step into a world where chaos reigns and adaptability is your greatest asset? Embrace the new year with a challenge like no other – your journey in the lands of The Forgotten Realm will never be the same again.
Commitment to Evolution
We are dedicated to refining, rebalancing, and debugging "Absolute Wrath" to ensure a seamless and immersive experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are open to community suggestions to further enhance the mod. Future updates may include new affixes, loot systems, and more, all designed to keep the adventure fresh and engaging. If you're enjoying the mod and feeling generous, feel free to endorse us to let us know we're moving in the right direction. Above all else, we hope you have fun!
*This mod is a Script Extension that occurs at the start of combat, applying a random number of affixes (0-3, with rarer cases for slightly more) to enemies as they are identified. These affixes include Passives, Statuses, and even rarer cases of Abilities or specifically Targeted abilities. As such, this mod does not touch or alter the base game and should be fine with any of the Death March, Stronger Bosses, AI and basic difficulty increasing mods which seek to add stat values etc. or change enemy behavior. Just be aware of how these kinds of mods combine when it comes to balance and always be mindful of how certain interactions may play out.

What’s New in 2.0?
- Specialty Tagging System: We’ve launched a new tagging system in this update, focused initially on undead creatures. This system allows us to apply specific logic and add unique affixes for relevant enemy types. While this update concentrates on the undead, the system opens the door for future expansions to include other creature types.
- Expanded Affix Roster: Over 100 new affixes join our lineup, many aimed at making the undead more thrilling and tactically demanding. We've also adjusted our affix logic to ensure that lower-tier affixes become less prevalent as players progress, maintaining challenge and relevance throughout your adventure.
- Selective Exclusion for Enhanced Balance: To preserve the game's narrative integrity and balance, we’ve specifically excluded key characters like Commander Zhalk, The Absolute, and The Hag from receiving random affixes. Be wary of The Hag's clones, though—they might still receive affixes. Can you spot the real one?
- Comprehensive Boss and NPC Logic: We’ve refined our logic to cover all significant bosses and NPCs up to Act 3, ensuring more meaningful late-game engagements.
- Automatic Mage Armor for Spellcasters: Appropriate enemy spellcasters now automatically enter the fray with Mage Armor activated, allowing them to immediately engage in tactical decisions.
- Dynamic Scaling Up to Level 32: The mod now dynamically adjusts to support character levels up to 32 in order to provide more challenging gameplay, regardless of player modifications.
- Nightmare Boss Affix: A new, legendary boss-level affix may trigger under specific conditions, introducing a terrifying encounter meant to push your strategic limits.
- Polishing and Tooltip Adjustments: We’ve polished various aspects of the mod and adjusted tooltips to enhance immersion and clarity, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive gameplay experience.
- Special Thanks to Our Translators: We appreciate the hard work of our translators. Special thanks to cswcsy for their work on the Korean translation, and to USAY and Lezaza0 for CHT and CHS, which will be updated soon! We also appreciate other contributors who support Absolute Wrath's evolution!
