Mask of the Shapeshifter - Skillbooks

        It turns all shapeshifter masks into skillbooks, so you learn and use them freely, without suffering armor, stats, and fashion penalties.


        Also available at NexusMods: https://www.nexusmods.com/divinityoriginalsin2definitiveedition/mods/277


        Initially I made this mod for myself, but eventually decided to put it out. Thought someone might find it useful as I did.

FEATURES
        -- The downside of it being that as any skillbook it is consumed on use and you can no longer pass it from character to character. It is intentional and made to restrict player from using the same mask on all characters at once. You can just craft a new one, if you want to use it on several characters though. Sorry but that's the best solution I've managed to achieve that is balanced.
        -- Skills take 0 memory and are counted as innate, just as if you were wearing the mask.
        -- It also alters their crafting recipes, Just so they make a little more sense.


**IMPORTANT FOR EXISTING SAVES**
        The only way to obtain skillbooks on an EXISTING SAVE is CRAFTING. Any masks you already had will continue to act like a helmet. The mask dropped from Windego also WILL NOT BE CONVERTED, even if the mod is installed before you kill her.


COMPATIBILITY
        I'm not a big modder and this is the very first mod I ever did. Thus I can't really promise total compatibility.
        However, this mod's structure is rather primitive and I'm convinced that it shouldn't causes any kind of compatibility issues. Just make sure to load this mod after any mod that edits the mask of the shapeshifter as an item.
