Custom Background: Was a Goat for 10 Years
Introduction
In 2018, reddit user u/Metabot submitted a delightful homebrew Background to r/UnearthedArcana: "Was a Goat for 10 Years." With their permission, I've ported the background to Baldur's Gate 3. The full effect of the mod isn't quite possible yet. The original Homebrew advises having horns and rectangular irises, both of which seem likely candidates for separate mods later on down the line.
A WHAT for HOW LONG?!
A Goat. For 10 Years. Having been a Goat for so long, you know your way around animals, and have become quite athletic, granting you proficiency in Animal Handling and Athletics. You also gain Surefooted, granting you immunity to muddy and difficult terrain. Your irises are rectangular, granting you a small amount of Darkvision(6 meters), and you've taken a liking to bushy beards.
Installation
I recommend using Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager to install, as the process is highly simplified. However, you'll want to be sure you're using it to install any other mods you're using as well. Installation via Vortex is also supported
Known Issues
1. If I was a goat, where are my goat horns? Alas, you'll likely have to do this manually. I'm looking into forcing tiefling horns via the background, but I'm not sure if it's possible or not.
2. No background goals? What??? Yeah. I don't know how to implement these yet. Another thing I'd like to look into, but it's probably fairly complicated. Probably will wait until official mod tools come out before looking into this.
