There’s absolutely no denying that Baldur’s Gate 3 is an incredibly rich and rewarding experience, arguably representing the very best of the genre. However, it does have its pitfalls, and one of the largest is the feats system. It’s no wonder there are several great mods improving it already, from adding heaps of additional DnD feats to giving them out like candy each time you level up. By reworking both the best and worst feats, this new BG3 mod takes a more restrained approach – and it’s all the better for it.
As one of the best RPGs, Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you ample choice when it comes to character customization. Unfortunately, there are some clear winners in the base game, with Alert, Ritual Caster, Tavern Brawler, and a handful of others taking the crown of the best BG3 feats. While other feats mods try to improve this system simply by adding more, the Feat Rebalance Pack takes a more thorough look over each and every one.
The Feat Rebalance Pack by ‘WoolToque’ (available on Nexus Mods and the in-game mod manager) is one of the best BG3 mods for those looking to easily improve the base experience without chucking even more layers on top. This mod rebalances and in some cases fixes almost all of the feats already available to raise the weaker options and knock the reigning kings down a peg. The goal, as you might have guessed, is to make it a trickier decision when it comes time to pick your feats and improve the overall effectiveness of these boosts.
Those who would rather not have their favorites brought in-line can also download either the buff-only or nerf-only versions of the mod, letting you have greater control over the impact this mod will make.
Some of the biggest improvements are made to Alert, Skilled, and Tavern Brawler. For example, Alert now adds a +3 bonus to initiative rather than +5, slightly dialing down the power of this almost must-pick feat. Likewise, Tavern Brawler no longer provides an additional point in Strength or Constitution, but instead lets you perform an unarmed attack with a bonus action under certain conditions. It’s toned down but still a strong pick for certain builds. On the other hand, Skilled now provides a +1 to any ability compared to proficiency in three different skills.
You can download this mod here via Nexus Mods, or search for it using the built-in mod manager. WoolTorque has also created a mod for the similarly unbalanced Cantrips, suitably named Cantrip Rebalance Pack.
No matter which of the many Baldur’s Gate 3 classes you’re playing, these rebalanced feats will come in handy and help make the best BG3 builds more diverse than usual. Just because it’s one of the best PC games of all time, doesn’t mean it can’t get any better, after all. Download it now and you’ll be ready for your inevitable replay once the 12 new subclasses come next year.
