It has been quite a while since the triumphant release of Owlcats’ cRPG Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, the indirect sequel to the studio’s previous work Pathfinder: Kingmaker. And, while the developers are busy working on update 1.2 and the story-based major DLC #1 titled Inevitable Excess, the community continues working on improving the overall experience in myriad ways through the fan-created mods.
From the visual enhancements to gameplay adjustments and extra portraits and voiceovers, Nexusmods has it all. Proceed to the list below to check out some of the most popular mods available on the site. Personal choice? Toy Box + Bubble Buffs.
Toy Box
This one-stop wonder mod provides players with 400+ cheats, tweaks and quality-of-life improvements to the game. It offers a powerful and convenient way to edit the party composition, stats, search and add Feats, Features, Items, etc. to the party members.
Missed something and want it added in? Toy Box. Ran into a bug that seems to have impeded your game progress? Toy Box. Would you like to change and tweak things around? Toy Box. Just be cautious – with great power comes great responsibility, and you can break your game further.
One of the most interesting functions that can be toggled using Toy Box is the remote Remote Companion Dialogue, allowing you to experience the dialogues of the characters that aren’t actively present in your party.
Enhanced Inventory
While Owlcats made tremendous progress in the inventory feature when compared to Kingmaker, it still leaves much to be desired. Especially with your potions and scrolls measuring in hundreds and overflowing from every pocket.
As comes from the mod’s name, Enhanced Inventory enhances that experience and adds features such as: search bar to inventory, stores, and the spellbook, additional filtering and sorting options, customizable filter and sort lists, and highlighting important loot. Does not modify balance or introduce unfair advantages. Options are highly configurable through the UMM mod options screen.
Puzzle Skip
This mod allows skipping puzzles, like the slab puzzles in The Secrets of Creation.
Tabletop Tweaks
Tabletop Tweaks is a mod that seeks to adjust the cRPG rules to more closely follow the tabletop ruleset. Additionally it adds content missing from the base game. Note that the mod is no longer updating via Nexus and has moved over to GitHub.
Make sure to read installation instructions, this mod requires a few steps in order to run smoothly.
SpellbookMerge
This mod allows for more in game spellbook merging options. It adds merge options for Angel, Aeon, Azata, Demon and Trickster. All of them should be able to get access to their highest level Mythic spells. Check out the author’s thread on Reddit to learn more.
Use Potions Until Healed
Did you ever have to use a few dozen healing potions to top off your ridiculously fat tank? Use Potions Until Healed allows you to streamline that experience. This is a simple QoL mod that adds a “Use until heal” context menu item to healing potions, which when clicked repeatedly uses the potion until the character is completely healed or until there are no more potions left (only when out of combat). Other features: auto-use potions with “ctrl + H”, auto-heal party using spells with “ctrl+shift+H”.
GreatRadiance
Radiance, one of the game’s more or less obvious secrets, is a unique, powerful longsword with a number of great characteristics. The problem lies with the fact that the game features a great variety of unique longswords outside of Radiance – meanwhile, frontline martials who prefer greatswords are left to suffer from the lack of such interesting options.
Enter GreatRadiance. The mod changes all versions of Radiance into a greatsword, and gives all magical versions of it the Evil Outsider Bane enchantment for good measure, to make up for the inability to enchant weapons and the absence of the ‘Oath of the Crusade’ archetype.
There are numerous alternate versions of GreatRadiance available as optional files which replace Radiance with weapons other than Greatsword. Read installation requirements on the mod page to find out more.
Expanded Content
This mod added Living Scripture Archetype, large amount of fixes to Anti-Paladin, new Dread Knight Archetype – Conqueror, added new Archetype focused on retribution to Oathbreaker. This mod seeks to expand and add upon the content in the game. New classes, Religions, mechanics, backgrounds, traits and more.
Note: Expanded Content is updated regularly through GitHub.
Bubbles Buff Bot
Even with Enduring spells helping out with the spell duration, having to recast a million of buffs on your protagonist and their party can eat up quite a lot of time. Imagine if setting up an auto buffing mod was easy enough you don’t need a PhD, and integrated enough you don’t need to open a UMM gui to configure it? This is where Bubbles comes in.
Note that the mod takes care of spells, the items/consumables are NOT implemented.
Weapon Focus Plus
Weapon Focus Plus is a mod that makes Weapon Focus and the skills/feats which use a specific weapon type (Improved Critical etc) to also work for other weapons in the same weapon group.
It overrides the logic in the game which checks whether a specific weapon type is the same as another, so will apply to everything where such comparison is requested (Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Focus, Improved Critical etc).
For example, the Axes group includes Battleaxe, Dwarven Axe, Greataxe, Handaxe, Heavy Pick, Light Pick and Tongi.
Fully Respec NPC Companions
While you can respec companions using the in-game respecialization option (provided it is not blocked by your difficulty choice), this mod provides you greater flexibility by allowing you to start over from level 0.
Alignment Shifts
While it is not an issue for most classes, those playing Paladins or Inquisitors or any other class that requires specific alignments could have noticed that the Alignment Wheel holds a grudge against players.
As the mod’s author puts it, the alignment wheel is literally treated as a wheel behind the scenes. So when you’re peak Lawful Good or Chaotic Evil or whatever, whenever you take a pure Good or Evil choice, the game has to shift your character towards the neutral end in order to reach peak Good/Evil.
This mod changes that. If you are Chaotic or Lawful Good, the alignment shift change will be altered to either Chaotic Good or Lawful Good so you don’t come at risk of shifting to Neutral Good. Whenever you take a purely Evil dialogue option: If you are Chaotic or Lawful Evil, the alignment shift change will be altered to either Chaotic Evil or Lawful Evil so you don’t come at risk of shifting to Neutral Evil.
Combat Relief
Do you hate Crusade battles but find in-game solutions to avoiding them less than perfect? Then this mode is just for you. It allows you to skip turn-based army battles without disabling the entire Crusade system or by using the admittedly less than stellar AI for doing battles in your stead.
Read the requirements on the mod’s page to make sure it works correctly!
Scaling Cantrips
This mod sets it up so that by default, cantrip damage spells (Acid Splash, Jolt, Ray of Frost, Divine Zap) get an additional 1d3 damage dice for every two caster levels a character has. This caps out at 6d3 by default so it will just be under Magic Missile’s max damage cap + be more likely to miss.
You can adjust how many caster levels it takes + how high the max damage dice cap is, via Unity Mod Manager’s in-game menu, use Ctrl+F10. Restarting the game after changing settings is recommended to make sure changes work as intended.
Arcemi Pathfinder WOTR Save Editor
This editor allows you to change certain parameters in your saved games: edit game time, party money, character name, level, attributes, skills, portrait, alignment, appearance, spellbooks and inventory. Edit kingdom details, army leaders, army units, tasks, settlements. Edit game state, vendor tables, game flags, quest state.
Honorable mentions:
Visual Adjustments is a popular mod that is no longer updated via Nexusmods.
Additionally, Nexus is full of user-created collections featuring extra portraits and voice packs. Here are some of the most popular picks:
