More Stat Point Mod?

[fefnir3284]

I just read that difficulty scale will just give a high proficiency bonus but none stat points. So is there a mod that gives you more than 27 starting stat points? That is far to little for campaigns I've played in. I like 32ish.
And no I do not want to install 4 mods and use the potion mod that lets you change everything. I simply want to know if there is a mod that increases starting stat points from 27 to some other number.
I looked all over nexus but didn;t see one.

You can use WeMod to change your attributes after you’ve created your character, which has the added bonus that you can also lower it back down if you only wanted to try something out.

It also only affects your current save, not the entire game.

I also don't want another third party application. I'm only comfortable with self installed mods, or a notepadd++ type of program where I can open the save or character creation file, to change stats, or up stat points for allocation.

Since you refuse all the options available to you, I don’t think we’ll be able to help you.

You get stat points as you level up, and the max is 20. There’s plenty in game, you’ll be taking feats because your stats are good early on

check nexusmods, if no one has made that mod specifically, you're out of luck.

I'm sure a mod like this will be made. No idea when but I imagine it won't take long.

You won't need more points the game is likely to be very unbalanced ability score wise.
As Larian have included many ways to boost them via equipment. I saw a video just yesterday that showed off several items that boosted ability score substantially. For example a head slot that "while equipped raises your Int to 17" full stop.

I wouldn't worry about it until it becomes an issue.

You refuse the choose your own stats mod?
well, then, uh, i hate to tell you this, but pretty much any mod you find is going to rely on another mod. and no one is going to create a mod when theres already one that does it better.

just use the choose your stats mod.
or just use cheat engine.
i never liked the point buy system costing 2 points from 14 and 15 and not being allowed to go to 16. i feel like if you're getting 27 points, it should be 27 attribute points. not 27 points to spend on attributes.

I have the tashas mod installed that lets you add 3 points of your choice instead of having racial stats, and interestingly enough if you add that 1 point to a 13, it becomes 14. then if you subtract a point from 14, you gain back 2 points. So using this exploit with the mod you could get 30 points.

just use the choose your stats potion.
better yet just download a collection of mods. its not hard.

While true, I suspect the issue is more that the OP doesn't want to wait until mid- to endgame and then rely on specific gear. For example I've played tons of RPG's and there's a lot of games among them that have specific attributes, skills and talents dedicated for dialogue options. But picking those means you'll have to forgo other options that would just make combat and gameplay more interesting. Because I always and I do mean *always* (my entire life) build for charisma and speech skills, depending on the game this severely limits my options to explore anything else.

Perhaps even more importantly, many games have multiple different sets of skills that each grant more dialogue options, so there is no way for you to get all of them and you routinely miss out on stuff especially in the early game, in addition to leaving you ill equipped for combat. Also I honestly think most RPG's since the 90's have done a poor job of considering charisma / speech / pacifist playthroughs at all. You have to invest into them the same as anything else, yet the games are always built so combat is not optional. So you will be super weak against like 95% of what the game throws against you from combat to carry weight to crafting skills to everything else, all for the sake of getting more dialogue options.

So typically after my first vanilla playthrough, I get mods / cheats whatever to just give me those attributes / skills right in the start, and spend the rest of the game focusing on whatever else I would like to build for and try. :>

You won't have to wait that long for itemization to kick in. The headband that raises intelligence can be picked up at lvl 3 at worst.

Right now, or when the full game comes out? The answer for early access is yes. The answer for the official release on Aug 3 will quickly be yes, it it isn't already by Aug 3.

One of the popular mods on Nexus lets you give your character whatever attribute points you want, all the way up to 30 for each attribute (the max the game will allow). I'm not going to link to it, but just go to Nexus and look for a mod called Choose Your Stats.
Alternatively, you can download a tool that lets you directly edit the save game file. The easy thing is just to use the mod.

Edit: I just noticed that you said you don't want to use the potion mod. In that case, and you also don't want to use a cheat table utility, then directly editing the save file is the only thing available to you right now. Risky and I don't recommend it, but the option is there.

I'm sure at some there will be a mod that allows you to have all stats at 99 if you wanted to. If you want to be an unstoppable god, just download a mod like that.

You will be happy on release then they are using tashas as a default +2 +1 stat allocation bonus.

I was able to manipulate the game to add more ability points, but if you have less or more than exactly 27 points applied during creation the Proceed button is disabled. Looks like Larian Studios does not want anyone implementing modded stats.

[Zackerie]

There's literally a mod that has underwear that puts all stats to 20. Problem solved.
