Spell Foci
You can spend your reaction to channel a targeting offensive spell through a Spell Focus weapon. When you do so, you does additional damage as if you had also made a melee attack on said target with that weapon.If you are dual-wielding and only one of your weapons is a Spell Focus, only that weapon will have this applied. If both are Spell Foci, then you will channel your spell through both, gaining the benefits of a full dual-wielding strike.
If you also have Highmost Feats installed, you can take the Spell Focus Mastery feat to allow you to use any weapon as a Spell Focus, so long as you have War Magic or War Caster.
For example, if you have a strength of 10 and cast Firebolt on a goblin while wielding a Quarterstaff with a, you will do the 1d10 Fire damage, then you can spend your reaction to inflict a further 1d8 + Strength Modifier Bludgeoning damage. On the other hand, if you are wielding two Quarterstaffs, you would do 2d6 (1d6 + 1d6) instead.
Important Notes
- This mod modifies existing stock weapons, and some mod weapons. Please place it after any mod that replaces or changes stock weapons (none of the weapons I modified use the fields I used to make this work, and no mod I've seen so far uses them either, and I wrote the mod to only add those two fields with the required passives to existing weapons, so it should be fine to load after everything else).
- I strongly recommend that you do not have the reaction go off automatically - it will hit any allies caught in the AOE of any of your damaging spells if you do not specifically exclude them when the prompt comes up.
- Yes, this has nothing to do with the way spell foci work in any edition of D&D.
- This will MASSIVELY increase the damage output of spellcasters. I do not recommend you use this mod unless you either want a very easy campaign or have installed mods that do things like buff enemy HP.
- If you install the optional "make all weapons spell foci" file, please keep in mind that every enemy spellcaster will be able to use this as well.
- If you are a modder, and want to make a weapon from your mod compatible with this one (i.e. make it a spell focus), just add these two lines to the weapon entry block:
data "PassivesMainHand" "Spell_Focus_Weapon_Main_Hand"
data "PassivesOffHand" "Spell_Focus_Weapon_Off_Hand;Spell_Focus_Weapon_Dual"List of Spell Foci
