SoB is a tweak mod intended to alter various basic aspects of the game - a collection of 'house rules' to make things more balanced, more geared specifically toward the BG2 engine, and most of all more fun. There are many components, which fall into three main categories.
1) Basic game tweaks. These components modify the following:
- item tweaks, some mostly cosmetic and some minor rebalancing
- stats, saves, XP tables, spell tables
- a complete re-thinking of the weapon proficiency system
- somewhat liberalized multiclassing rules
- revised druid shapeshifting
- added cantrips for wizards
- warrior kit rebalancing
- revised kensai kit that can actually only specialize in one weapon class, like the description says
- paladin kit modifications
- vanilla cleric kit modifications
2) New kits.
- 2 new fighter kits
- 4 new ranger kits
- 7 new cleric kits
- 2 new thief kits
- 3 new bard kits
- also 8 new 'other' kits which are hidden (not too hidden though) as semi-easter eggs because they are
3) NPC modifications. These components allow you to apply some of the new kits, or some original kits, to various NPCs. (I basically made it for EE players, if you play TOB/TuTu/BGT then you can use the excellent Level1NPCs instead.)
There are no "core" components; you can install what you like and ignore what you don't. To a great extent, you can mix and match components with those from other mods, like Song & Silence kits or Divine Remix kits (DR v8 only - don't install the sphere system).
It works with TOB, TuTu, BGT, BG:EE, BG2:EE, and IWD:EE. Enjoy.
