Mod content[]
This section is about unofficial content that is only available via fan-made mods.
The Sword Coast Stratagems mod makes a few changes to Kaol. He may be assigned an Invoker kit (or Conjurer, Enchanter and or Necromancer). His spell book will be revised, and may open with the following (previously cast) buffs: Fireshield (Red), Mirror Image, Shadow Door, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Minor Spell Deflection, Spell Immunity Abjuration (or "Dispelling Screen" with SR Mod), Protection From Normal Missiles, Stoneskin, Non-Detection and then Protection From Magical Weapons.
Probably immune to most attacks temporarily, the mage will now select other spells based on the SCS Smarter Mage script. Selecting appropriate targets based on a number of factors, including their protections.
Can attempt a Spell Thrust, Remove Magic and a Breach. Will have various direct damage dealing spells like Chain Lightning or "Vitriolic Sphere" with SCS's IWD spell component. AoE damaging spells are also available like Fireball, Sunfire, Ice Storm or Cone of Cold. Spell selection will differ with other mage kit specialties.
The mage will quaff potions to heal self or boost abilities. He has two for use.
