About this mod

Adds homebrew subraces of Tiefling descended from yugoloths / the Gray Waste of Hades into the game.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
NOTE: The homebrew subraces are not built on gameplay balance, though I would try to make them as balance as possible (any suggestion on balance would be welcomed). The simple mechanics of the racial abilities are done by more complex methods than I thought they would be when I first came up with these ideas due to the limitation of the game's base code, thus it's possible that certain bugs / exploits can be found when using those abilities, and I would love to be informed if such bugs / exploits are found when using this mod.


<CURRENT LIST OF SUBRACES>

Styxling
Bound to Styx, the River of Blood that connects all the lower planes. These tieflings are descended from merrenoloths, the grim ferrymen of the Styx, or directly from the lord of Styx, Charon himself, from whom they inherited their calculating minds, along with the ability to control water, wind, and interact with lost souls to an extent.

-Level 1-

Passives
Daemonic Resistance, Darkvision

Row the Boat, Frigid Claws (Astralities’ Tiefling Compendium)

Cantrips

Soul Fetcher:
Blood Infusion (3 Exchangeable Souls): Your weapon and unarmed attacks deal an additional 1d4 Necrotic damage.
Charon's Bargain (5 Exchangeable Souls): Increases one of your ability scores by 1.
Recollection (2 * spell slot level Exchangeable Souls): Regain one of your spell slots of any level.
Refreshment (7 Exchangeable Souls): Take a short rest.


<WIP SUBRACES>
Oinos Tiefling / Tiefling of Anthraxus: Tieflings descended from arguably the most dreadful of all Oinoloths, Anthraxus the Decayed. (This sub race is already basically finished in the file but not playable yet due to lack of testing.)
Spawn of the Fallen / Tiefling of Xengahra: Tieflings descended from the fallen solar-turned altraloth Xengahra.


<OTHER FUTURE PLANS>
Adding deities related to the Gray Waste of Hades, make the rewards / costs from Soul Fetcher of Styxling scale with proficiency level (or some other values, not decided yet), make the Row the Boat ability of Styxling break certain oaths of Paladin, improve the ability balance (preferably), improve the special body (and genital) visuals, improve the VFXs, possible icon fixes.



<INSTALLATION>
Install with Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager or other mod managers (I have never used any other mod manager for the game though, they should theoretically work, but I don't actually know).


<UNINSTALLATION>
Disable the mod in the mod manager.

More details will be added later.
