Nexus Mods user NellsRelo published the mod “Playable Skeletons” which adds a skeleton as one of the races available inBaldur’s Gate 3. While theoriginalBaldur’s Gatehas unique classesthat made the game a hit, skeletons are not officially a class inBaldur’s Gate 3. The skeleton of NellsRelo’s mod has the base +1 Constitution, Darkvision, Immunity to Poison damage, and Vulnerability to Bludgeoning Damage. It also has the Skeleton Finger ability that can pick locks using just its bony finger once per short rest. Although it does not have the Larian level of implementation, theBaldur’s Gate 3skeleton mod includes two subclasses. The Sturdy Skeleton wears armor parts on its body and has an additional +1 to Constitution and +1 to Charisma. The Dextrous Skeleton is an unarmored skeleton with +2 to Dexterity,
But unlike the officially available classes inBaldur’s Gate 3, clothing currently doesn’t work on the skeleton, and the Skeleton Finger skill is broken. NellsRelo’s mod has almost 7,000 views on the Nexus Mods website and over 100 downloads. It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time the user has released the Playable Skeletons mod, as NellsRelo made the same mod available duringBaldur’s Gate 3’s early access. This also isn’t the first time a mod changed Larian Studios' RPG, as amod combinedBaldur’s Gate 3andTheElder Scrolls, making the races from Bethesda’s RPG series playable.
