Features

Races (58)

Every race has its own racial abilities and its own look: skin and hair tones plus hand-built horns, ears, tails, tusks, snouts, beaks, crests, manes, fins, crystals, shells and wings.

  • Fairy: small, winged and fey. Gossamer wings that fold at rest and beat in flight, pointed ears, a cat-like tail, Druidcraft and Faerie Fire as racial spells, plus a full appearance customizer.
  • Flyers: Skyfolk and Owlkin (feathered wings), Glidefolk (glide membranes), Fairy. Aesborn grow radiant wings during Radiant Awakening.
  • Flying skill: flying trains its own skill, which makes flight cheaper on stamina the way Run does for running.
  • Plus: Half-Elf, Versatile Human, High Elf, Wood Elf, Drow, Season Elf, Shadow Elf, Dwarf, Highland Dwarf, Duergar, Halfling, Sturdy Halfling, Gnome, Woodland Gnome, Deep Gnome, Tiefling, Dragonborn (all ten colors), Elemental-kin (Emberkin, Windkin, Stonekin, Tidekin), Goliath, Firbolg, Catfolk, Shellfolk, Triton, Lizardfolk, Tuskfolk, Minotaur, Kobold, Goblin, Bugbear, Orc, Half-Orc, Serpentblood, Mindwarden, Witchblood, Runeforged, Harefolk, Satyr, Lionfolk and Moonbloods (Hide, Fang, Swift).
  • Small races shrink, big races grow. Carry weight, stealth, damage resistances and movement all vary by race.
  • Darkvision for the races that have it, and Stonecunning: dwarves, duergar and deep gnomes sense metal ore nearby. Dwarven Resilience, Fey Ancestry and Dragonborn breath that grows with your level.

Use them with the class feature key (G); Shift+G picks the next one.

Feats (52)

Heavy Swing, Deadeye, Spear Dancer, Tough, Alert, Skilled, Fleet-Footed, Fortune's Favored, Battle Mage, Shieldwall Guard, Fey-Blessed, Magic Initiate, Weapon Training, Ritekeeper, Chef, Healer and many more. Feats with an active ability fill the Feat ability keys in order, so no key is tied up by a feat you don't have.

Spells (176)

Cantrips and leveled spells from Fire Bolt and Eldritch Blast up to Fireball, Cone of Cold, Wall of Fire, Globe of Invulnerability and Heal, each with a painted icon, a casting animation and Valheim-style effects. Find Familiar summons a scouting raven (or a rat, frog, snake or spider) and Find Steed a rideable spectral Lox. Conjure Animals, Conjure Elemental and Planar Binding call creatures to fight for you.

  • Each spell has its own recast cooldown, shown on the Spells tab.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
