Higher is Always Harder - 1.5 The purpose of this mod is giving constant challenge throughout the game by introducing new scaling and penetration rules. :: REQUIREMENTS :: • Deadfire version 2.0 :: Global Game Settings for PoTD :: "Difficulty": "PathOfTheDamned", "HealthMultiplier": 2, (Vanilla: 1.25) "AccuracyBonus": 10, (Vanilla: 15) "DefenseBonus": 10, (Vanilla: 15) "ArmorBonus": 2, (Vanilla: 2) "PenetrationBonus": 1, (Vanilla: 1) "LevelMultiplier": 1, (Vanilla: 1) "RecoveryTimeMultiplier": 0.8, (Vanilla: 1) - Faster Enemies :: Global Game Settings for Scaling Rules :: "LevelScalingArmorLevelIncrement": 3, (Vanilla: 3) "LevelScalingArmorModifier": 2, (Vanilla: 1) "LevelScalingPenetrationLevelIncrement": 2, (Vanilla: 2) "LevelScalingPenetrationModifier": 2 (Vanilla: 1) :: Combat Settings for Penetration Multipliers (New Rules) :: In vanilla penetration rules, the cap for overpenetration is twice the armor which is translated into +30% damage. With this mod, the overpenetration could be up to 3x times of the armor which is translated into 2x damage. This is the implementation examples of Penetration Multipliers (vanilla and my mod): • If you are hit by an attack with 10 penetration and you have 5 armor, this is the result: - With vanilla's rules, that attack will have +30% damage. - With my mod, that attack will have +50% damage. • If you are hit by an attack with 15 penetration and you have 5 armor, this is the result: - With vanilla's rules, that attack will still have +30% damage (because of the penetration cap). - With my mod, that attack will have +100% damage. • This is the details of the new penetration rules: "Threshold": 0, "Value": 1 "Threshold": 1, "Value": 1 "Threshold": 1.5, "Value": 1.3 "Threshold": 2, "Value": 1.5 "Threshold": 2.5, "Value": 1.8 "Threshold": 3, "Value": 2 :: Enemy Scaling Rules :: In vanilla game, the cap of level scaling is 6 levels difference. With my mod, I introduce up to 15 levels difference. What's more, I twist the scaling rules for Named enemies so that they will always have 3 levels higher than you.
