The Surgeon Class is a custom homebrew mod designed to introduce a macabre, but hilarious set of concepts into Baldur's Gate 3! Carve into your adoring patients with the Cannibal subclass; making a meal out of the inhabitants of Faerun, or corrupt their systems with the poisonous and acidic concoctions from the Injector subclass.
FEATURES:
Surgeon
The Surgeon is a glass cannon class, featuring a reimagining of cantrips to fit the style of the class, and the introduction of various passives to ensure social interactions are in your favor. Remember your bedside manner!
Meat is on the menu. Engage in a combination system known as a Feeding Frenzy, a buff system that requires the surgeon to make contact with their patient twice, unlocking a bite known as Feast on the Living. This bite scales with your player level, increasing its damage and heal over the course of your campaign. As you level, you will unlock the ability to feast on the dead. Later on, even your own flesh will be up for bites, rewarding you with a massive damaging series of blows to inflict upon your foes. Grab your bone saws, and prepare the table. It's time to satiate that endless hunger of yours.
Sometimes death is the only way out. You know this, but sometimes your patients don't. That's why they pay you the big bucks; you soothe the weary and lull them to sleep, forever. Utilize your Syringe, which is packed with subclass specific cantrips and a small heal, to induce your patients. Once they have felt the sting of suffering, remove their misery with a power spike of the needle into their flesh, inflicting your choice of acid or poison damage. Lethal Injections are your trade, and you are in high demand.
Miscellaneous:
- The class is coded to have a primary stat of Dexterity, with its spell casting stat being Intelligence.
- The class is tagged as a Cleric for dialogue purposes.
- The subclass Injector is a half-caster.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: This class has only been coded to go up to level 12. I will patch in dummy levels at a later date (as I don't intend to extend this class to level 20), but for now, remember to multi-class OUT of Surgeon once you reach your 12th level.
Known Issues:
- For Injector, spell slot acquisition is not showing up on the level up screen. I am currently working on remedying this and will patch the fix in the coming days. Just know that as you level, you are in fact getting your spell slots at the half caster rate as mentioned.
- Spell Icons: I do not have custom icons yet for this Class and its subclasses; I am not artistic and as such, will need to find a way to collaborate with someone to achieve this.
Author's Note: The concepts here can be dark, but humorous. I have pushed to create a strong, but fair concept of the Sawbones Extraordinaire in that there a balance to the class. This is my first mod, so whether I have achieved this in truth remains to be seen, but I can promise I will take all feedback I can and work to ensure this experience is dynamic and engaging. I wish you all well in your Baldur's Gate 3 campaign; I hope this class serves you well in creating a fun experience!
