About this mod

Introducing to Baldur’s Gate 3, a homebrewed race known as the Stoneborn by GentlemanBabbo and EmeraldTechno! These sentient mountains are manifestations of spirits within the stone and rubble of the earth. Destined to return to the world as we all are, Stoneborn accept their place in the natural order, living in silent slumber until called upon.

Customization

Define your Stoneborn through a collection of custom faces and hairstyles! Each hairstyle comes with three versions; a fiery mane, Underdark mushroom flora, or glistening emerald crystal. Stoneborn are unique in that they do not wear clothes; you will not see armor and such on a Stoneborn even when equipped due to their unique shape and size. You can play as either a feminine or masculine Stoneborn with equal hair, skin, and eye options for each.

Abilities and Passives

  • (Level 1) Mountain - Basically the Powerful Build passive from DnD. Utilized to increase the in-game size of the Stoneborn and introduce a higher carry weight, but keep them at a medium size category.
  • (Level 1) Fortress - Stoneborn have an increased resistance to slashing and piercing attacks.
  • (Level 1) Stone Skin - Your exterior is a natural barrier to all damage. Increases your Constitution by 1.
  • (Level 1) Earthen Resilience - You have a natural resistance against poison damage, as well as Advantage against being poisoned.
  • (Level 1) Brick and Mortar - Broken off from the crust of the world, your body is tougher than most all else. Your armor is set to 15 + your Constitution modifier when wearing no armor.
  • (Level 3) Boulder Toss - The might of your Stoneborn cannot be denied. Toss your foes like the pebbles they are, inflicting damage based on their size and your Strength modifier.
  • (Level 3) Long Jump - A natural boost to the Stoneborn’s jump. Powerful legs, powerful leaps.
  • (Level 5) Mud Breath - Reach within and exhale a lob of muck and dirt upon your enemies, damaging them for 1d6 Bludgeoning damage and trapping them in the mud expelled. 
  • (Level 5) Ironhand - A Stoneborn has stone fists. You can imagine how unfortunate it would be to get leveled by one. Stoneborn have an increased 1d8 to unarmed attacks.
  • (Level 7) Muck to Metal - Apply a defensive barrier to your Stoneborn, costing 5m movement speed and increasing your AC by 2.
  • (Level 7) Seismic Strike - Clap your massive hands together with the force of an earthquake. Deal 4d6 Bludgeoning damage and knock-back foes with the power of the blast. Enemies on the receiving end will also be subjected to the debuff Trembling Legs.
  • (Level 9) Burrow - Dig through the earth and Teleport to your desired location.


Quirks/Known issues

  • Warning: this mod was made by QUIRKY PEOPLE. Be prepared for goofy responses to your comments. 
  • Stoneborn clothes do not appear in game, but do appear in Character Creation. As far as we know, this is not fixable.
  • Due to their unique size and shape, Stoneborn have completely unique heads and hairstyles. Because of this, no vanilla heads or hairs will work for them, nor will modded heads and hairs be patchable unless specifically made for Stoneborn.
  • For Emerald Hairs, you must have your depth of field turned off. Otherwise you will experience issues.
  • Due to having fully custom bodies, some animations may look a little wonky on Stoneborn. Unfortunately some issues are unavoidable when doing such in-depth custom work.
  • Piercings, tattoos and eye makeup may not display correctly on the custom Stoneborn heads.
