Mod content[]

Sword Coast Stratagems makes minor revisions to this creature. It provides an SCS default tactical combat script for smarter decision making, threat recognition and targeting. The Spear proficiency is boosted to 3 pips, and 2 pips in two-handed weapon fighting style is assigned. This will result in a better THAC0, damage, speed factor and critical hit chance. Immunity to Web and Entangle effects is provided, including their overlay animations.
Installation of the Tower of Deception mod populates one dungeon level with various monsters, and you will encounter both Fire and Ice Salamanders within.
