Bear Race

Mod that allows you to play as an adventurer who somehow ended up with humanlike intelligence, but the body of a bear.

Bears are an unusual adventurer species. They are unable to use most equipment (hat, lite, amulet, cape and tool only), but are very strong, fast and tough and have a rather powerful racial talent tree.
For now the NPC dialogues do not reflect that you are a bear, although it would be nice if I could find time to change that in the future.

Racial talents
- Maul: You gain two powerful unarmed paw attacks. Despite being unarmed, you can use your paws to perform most attacks that would normally require melee weapons.
- Ursine Ingenuity: Reduce all cooldowns, increase stat contribution to inscriptions and unlock a special "off hand" slot.
- Ironhide: Gain strong defences that scale with physical power, and the ability to treat your tough hide as light armour
- Huge. Angry. Bear.: You become far larger, faster, tougher, and stronger.

There are also 2 race evolution prodigies, with more to come if I have any good ideas. Suggestions welcome.

Add 2 race evolution prodigies

Ursine Ingenuity now unlocks the off hand slot (you are holding the item in your mouth or something). This makes the race usable with a wider range of classes and talent categories.

Ursine Ingenuity no longer changes the stats of your equipment

Swap position of Ursine Ingenuity and Ironhide racial talents

Bears can use psiblades and sawbutcher talents with just one appropriate weapon instead of needing to dual wield.

Improved “two-handed paw” functionality - paw will now function as a two-hander while using Pugilism or Two-Handed Assault talents, but not at any other time. (You are still eligible to use other talents that require a two-hander, you will just hit twice)

Archmage and Doombringer each got an easter egg

Race tile no longer overrides custom tiles

0.1.5 changelog

Submitted by killzerslaul on Thu, 2026-01-29 18:53.
  • Expedited racial talent progression (talents unlock at 6,12,18 instead of 8,16,24)
  • Ursine Ingenuity rework:
    • CDR nerfed to flat 10% at raw TL >= 5
    • Stat bonus increased to talentLevel*3 and also applies to willpower
  • Maul (talent) - Added a bite attack, procced on melee attack. It is on cooldown when combat starts, and only increments on turns when you score a melee hit. (Trying to play up the race's melee characteristics)
  • Gemling bear (prodigy) - Added effect: when you bite, release an energy blast that use the damage type and alchemist bomb effects from one of your eye gems
  • minor fixes to race talent descriptions
