One dedicated Baldur's Gate 3 player has created a custom mod based on the Tabaxi race from the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons. Speaking of mods, Larian Studios confirmed that Baldur's Gate 3 will receive official modding tools players can use to tweak fundamental aspects of the game.

Baldur's Gate 3 serves as a gateway into Dungeons & Dragons, recreating the setting of the tabletop RPG accurately. The fact that the game is heavily based on the fifth edition of D&D means it has a number of prominent differences from its predecessor, which uses the 2e rules. For instance, Baldur's Gate 3 has turn-based combat and more complex spells. Considering there are 20 years between these two iconic RPGs, it's no surprise that Baldur's Gate 3 feels like a game of a different generation.
Baldur's Gate 3 Hits Massive Sales Milestone
Baldur's Gate 3 once again surpasses a huge sales milestone less than a year after release, reaffirming the game's popularity and appeal.
One imaginative Baldur's Gate 3 player, who goes by cobalt_owl on Reddit, has created a gameplay mod based on the Tabaxi race from the latest edition of Dungeons & Dragons. According to the information provided by cobalt_owl, they've made the male Tabaxi models using a caracal texture set. Covered in fur, their character has some defining physical features, including a heart-shaped face, big eyes, whiskers, dark spots on the forehead, a long tail, and an athletic body.
Baldur's Gate 3 Tabaxi Mod Will Be Available Next Month
After creating the female models, the player will bring Tabaxi-themed objects and NPCs to the world of Faeun. Furthermore, they will add the ability to turn companions into Tabaxi in the future. The beta version of the mod is available for CobaltOwl's Patreon members, and the full version will be released publicly on the Nexus Mods website in April.
One of the racial options in Dungeons & Dragons is the Tabaxi, bipedal cat people known for their cleverness and strong natural physiques. These feline humanoids are extremely skilled in combat, with their enhanced agility and reflexes granting them additional movement speed. Besides, the Tabaxi possess proficiency in Stealth and Perception skills that players can use to sneak up on nearby enemies.
Since the game's initial release, some Baldur's Gate 3 players have shared a wealth of custom mods within the community. These fan-made mods enhance specific aspects of the game, providing players with unique methods to customize their playthroughs. They add a robust array of content to Baldur's Gate 3, from new classes and races to quality-of-life features that make the award-winning RPG more intuitive for newcomers.
