Baldur’s Gate 3 Heroes of the Storm mod adapts Diablo, Starcraft and more into Larian’s RPG

A new Baldur’s Gate 3 mod adapts some of Blizzard’s most popular franchises into Larian’s RPG by boldly creating a series of new Feats inspired by Heroes of the Storm. Not the first Blizzard-themed mod to hit the role-playing game—check out the World of Warcraft custom campaign for that—the new mod aims to bring more variety to the D&D adventure with a host of new powers.

Baldur’s Gate 3 meets Heroes of the Storm

Created by prominent BG3 modder Yoonmoonsick, the new Baldur’s Gate 3 Heroes of the Storm mod adds seven new Feats inspired by characters included in Blizzard’s less-popular MOBA. Available to nab here on Nexus Mods, the new add-on allows you to take on passives inspired by playable heroes.

While the actual Heroes of the Storm game has 90 playable characters from across Blizzard history, the first version of this mod includes just 7. In the mod, players can take on the abilities of characters from Diablo, Starcraft and Warcraft, but not Overwatch. (Phew.)

Here is every character included at the time of writing:

• Arthas: The Lich King
  Passive: Frostmourne Hungers
  Melee weapon attacks deal an additional 1d4 cold damage. You Have Resistance to Cold Damage.
  Q: Death Coil

There’s currently no word from the modder if there are any plans to expand the Heroes of the Storm mod to include other characters from Blizzard’s MOBA. However, considering the sheer talent of the BG3 modding community, if someone wants it, someone will make it.
