Ding0's Tweak Pack BG2


Ding0's Tweak Pack BG2



Ding0's Tweak Pack is a Baldur's Gate 2 mod for BioWare's cRPG of 2000-2001, Baldur's Gate 2. Ding0's Tweak Pack is most notable for its Summoning Limit Removal component, which impacts all non-HLA BG2 summon spells. cf. BG2 Summoning Spells.

Ding0's Tweak Pack is compatible with the modded summons in both IWDification and Spell Revisions. This allows us, for example, to summon a horde of Umber Hulks, Otyughs and Ettins.

Laughably, even in 2023, Tweaks Anthology does NOT support summon cap removal in the original BG2 engine.

  • Enhanced Goodberries

  • Dream Flag
  • Sensible Lore Table
  • The_Bigg's Improved Backstabbing
  • Summons/NPCs Set Off Traps
  • CamDawg's Reduced Walking Speeds (now in Tweaks Anthology)

Ding0's Tweak Pack is the only BG2 mod that removes the 5-unit maxcap on summons in the original BG2. That is, it removes BG2's summon cap of 5. This allows us to summon as many monsters as we like, as in Baldur's Gate 1 Original.

Note that BG1-Style Summoning Spells component thugs out the monster summoning spells:

  • Monster Summoning: Up to 6x units per casting + more monster variety
  • Animate Dead: Several undead units per casting = zombies and skeletons in addition to skeleton warriors at caster level 15
  • Spider Spawn: 1x sword spider per casting at 12th clvl (this one is actually an oversight-nerf)

We don't have to summon dozens of monsters simultaneously, but it's nice to have the option for a bit of BG1-style fun in BG2, isn't it? I think so.
