Skills-and-Abilities VS rr

House Rules and S&A, if you need links. Note that their proficiency systems aren't compatible with each other - the monk proficiency tweak is totally compatible with Skills and Abilities' new proficiency system, if you use it, but the "rebalanced proficiencies" and "rebalanced weapon styles" are not.

I mentioned it in my comment, but skills and abilities does that, spread across a couple different components. Two-handed attacks receive 1.5x the strength damage bonus (rounded down), and the revised Two-Handed style increases base damage, speed factor, and APR, making it a faster and more reliable way of dealing damage. The revised two-weapon style also slightly decreases your offhand damage, even at 3 pips - not much of a nerf, but overall I think the mod's changes to single-weapon, weapon and shield, and two-handed styles make them very tempting alternatives, since they all have their own strengths.

Skills and Abilities: Larger writeup on this coming soom™. Short version: a proficiency overhaul that takes BG1’s weapon groups as its starting point and adds new proficiencies which can better diversify character builds, such as Spellcraft (bonuses for arcane casters), Divine (bonuses for divine casters), and Swiftblade (bonuses while hasted). Other components overhaul Protection from Magical Weapons, change Turn Undead, and allow bards to pick locks and disarm traps (EEex required for these). Optionally changes weapon styles as well, incentivizing approaches other than dual-wielding, and adds HLAs drawn from 3.5E.

Check out releases on the right hand side. Download that and put the 'setup-xxx.exe' file and the associated folder in your game directory. Then just run the setup from there. Or use something like Project Infinity to setup, sequence, and install your mods at one time.

There is a nice mod (https://github.com/Gibberlings3/Skills-and-Abilities), that gives bards "Find Traps" and "Open Locks". Maybe this is something for you?

Isn't https://github.com/FredrikLindgren/rr official - in fact even more than the formus that used to require manual uploads?

Rogue Rebalancing: I would adore this mod for the Thieving overhaul alone. Suddenly failed pickpocketing no longer turns enemies hostile: now you can talk your way out of it (well, a couple of times) depending on your stats, including lore or reputation. Other components alter thief and bard kits: the swashbuckler uses the fighter THAC0 table when wielding melee weapons, the skald song’s upgrades are moved to slightly lower levels, the [[jester and bard songs are changed]], and the assassin is now limited to non-good alignments. There are also some significant changes made to HLAs, and bards can now cast up to level 8 spells, as per PnP rules. Finally, it improves the Shadow Thieves’ combat abilities, and optionally adds a challenging combat encounter with the Chosen of Cyric.

It should be good, but if you're still not trusting it, try downloading it from Github.

GitHub has two packages older one and newer one. I haven't tried neither one as my version was dled from spellhold site but I believe the older one should be identical to the one that has been available in spellhold. The newer one states it's compatible with the latest 2.6 version.
