Enemy Config

Enemy Config

Gives all enemies 10 to 100 percent more maximum HP and, if you want, one more action and bonus action, set in the Mod Configuration Menu.

What it does

• Every character outside your party gets more maximum HP when it enters combat: 10% by default, up to 100%, in steps of 5%. The percentage counts from the character's base HP. On higher difficulties the game's own HP bonus comes on top, so there 100% adds about three quarters of the HP you see (a Flind: 114 -> 199).
• Bosses get it too, unless you turn Include bosses off. A boss is a character that the game itself marks as one, for example the Owlbear; strong enemies that the game does not mark, such as the Flind, count as normal enemies.
• Your party, your camp companions, your followers and all your summons keep their normal HP.
• The extra HP is added to the current HP too: a full enemy is still full, and a hurt one gets the same extra HP.
• The bonus shows as the status Bolstered Health on the character, and it stays in your savegame.
• Optional, off by default: +1 action and +1 bonus action for every character outside your party, each with its own Include bosses checkbox (off by default, so bosses keep their actions). They show as the statuses Extra Action and Extra Bonus Action. Each of the three bonuses works on its own.

How to install

1. Install Norbyte's Script Extender. It updates itself.
2. Install the Mod Configuration Menu, version 1.41 or later. The official Mod Configuration Menu 1.41 or later works too; keep only one of them.
3. Download bg3_enemyconfig.pak from the latest release on GitHub.
4. Copy it to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods.
5. Enable Enemy Config in your mod manager (BG3 Mod Manager or the in-game mod manager), below the Mod Configuration Menu.

To update the mod, replace the .pak with the one from the new release. To remove it, disable it in the mod manager and delete the .pak. Saves made with the mod can then show a warning about a missing mod.

How to use

• Open the Mod Configuration Menu (main menu, Esc menu, or the Insert key) and select Enemy Config.
• Extra maximum HP (default 10%, from 10% to 100% in steps of 5%): how much more maximum HP the characters outside your party get. 100% doubles their HP.
• Include bosses (default on): when off, bosses keep the game's HP.
• +1 action (default off): one more action each turn. Its Include bosses (default off) gives it to bosses too.
• +1 bonus action (default off): one more bonus action each turn. Its Include bosses (default off) gives it to bosses too.
• A change applies at once to everyone in combat. Characters out of combat get the new value when they enter combat.
• In multiplayer, the host's settings count for all players.
• The Mod Configuration Menu stores the settings in its profile, not in the savegame.

Compatibility

• Game version: Patch 8
• The game's own HP bonus for enemies on higher difficulties stays; this mod's bonus comes on top of it.
• Other mods that raise enemy HP (for example Tactician Enhanced) stack with this one. Use only one of them, or set a lower value.

Known issues

• "Everyone outside your party" includes neutral characters and allies that fight on your side, so they get the extra HP too.
