Anyone have any ideas on this?

There are a lot of buffs that aren't used as quirks in the base game (things like +healing or +bleed chance), probably because they'd be meaningless on a lot of classes which don't have the relevant skills. That said, in a few cases they do still happen, like 'Torn Rotator' on an arbalest does absolutely nothing, because the arbalest has no melee skills, but creating more potentially meaningless quirks is a step backwards. I'd like to look at adding skill specific quirks, but to avoid bloating the number of pointless quirks massively, I need to restrict certain quirks to certain classes.

As far as I can tell 'class' isn't a recognised attribute, it just sets parameters at character creation, so initially this looked impossible. However, because quirks can have their incompatibilities tailored, a possible work around might be to give every class a specific, unremovable class quirk at character creation, and then tailor the incompatibilities around that.

I can't see how, or if it's even possible, to add specific quirks to the generation information for each hero type. It's clear how to alter the minimum and maximum number of positives and negatives they start with, but can it be tailored more precisely?

Am I looking in the wrong place? Am I trying to do something impossible? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Hi all,

Not being able to find a mod quite to my tastes, I'm seriously considering creating a limited scope gameplay mod.

Any suggestions as to the best sources of information, and is here the most active forum available?

I've read the official modding guide, and looked at the offical site's modding forum. Anything else I should know about?

What's the one thing you wish you'd known that wasn't in the official guide?

Oh, for clarity, I'm limiting myself in scope to reworking some aspects of gameplay while making as few changes as necessary to achive the results I'm looking for. I won't be attempting to modify anything graphical or sound based, or add new content to the base game.

Thanks

DDBalance by wodzu_93 over on the Nexus has done this, or at least the documentation says it's been applied, so you might want to have a look at their code. I haven't actually played the mod so can't swear it works!

They've added a single extra action to the target of Emboldening Vapours when it's initially cast, which I think is an absolutely inspired solution to the action efficiency cost of single target buffs.
