Legend of the Starting Traits Fishing King (WH2)

Description
A version of this mod is now available for Total War: Warhammer 3. This means that this mod will no longer be maintained.




Some people tend to restart a campaign until one of that faction's starting characters has a good trait. This mod increases the chances that your favorite starter hero will have a good trait by a certain percentage. The numbers don't lie: instead of having to restart a campaign 20 times, at best you'll only have to restart 19 times.

This mod includes my Gracef Caolshen and Mikbaela mods. If you have this mod, you can safely unsubscribe from the other two.

FUTURE CHANGES

If you would like any changes made to this mod, then please word them like this:
I play X faction which starts with Y hero, and I really hope that hero gets Z trait.
or
I play X faction which starts with Y hero, and I really think that hero should be immortal.
Any additional detail can only help.

If you complain that a preferred starting trait should get a better than 5% boost, then the chances of your suggestion getting incorporated drastically go down.

I personally have no interest in using MCT to toggle immortality on and off for starting heroes, but if enough people ask for this I'll consider adding it.


COMPATIBILITY

This mod is partially save-game compatible:
  • With the exception of Grace's character, all other changes only take effect in a new campaign.
  • You can activate this mod anytime, but do not de-activate it unless you're going to start a new campaign!

This mod should be compatible with everything, however if you ask "Is it compatible with X?" the answer is "I have not tested it with X, therefore I do not know."

Have to tell you, this mod works pretty well with unlocking lord traits for Cspecific's Trait Manager.

Any chance you'd be willing to work with them to unlock all initate Lord traits for their mod?

With SaveParser no longer being worked on, your mods together seem to be the only way to change character traits.

@Vile Reality - I feel that's unlikely since it's a custom trait which is a direct copy of the HE Incendiary trait, which is the only way to force a hero to have a specific starting trait. You may think it's the wrong one because of the icon, but the icon is there to distinguish it from the regular trait. If you still think it's the wrong incendiary, could you post a screenshot of what you mean?

@CaptAhab! @Taiyoumaru - I'll get to your suggestions eventually. Possibly next weekend

@LordOmlette great mod, just letting you know that Mikaela is pulling up the incendiary trait for another faction (I think wood elves) for some reason, which isn't nearly as good as the normal HE one.

I play the Ghosts of Pahaux faction which starts with the Oracle of the Sacred Plaques hero, and I really hope that hero gets Pompous trait.

Specifically Loremaster Conductor trait on is pretty crazy since they don't get Arcane Conduit normally.

I play Yvresse faction which starts with Cavill hero, and I really hope that hero gets Conductor trait. Thank you!

Ah, ok. I dunno, I think the Immortality is more important than the trait. Anything that affects Chain Lightning or Miscast?
LordOmlette  [author] 20 Mar, 2022 @ 1:03pm 
@.Dog with a Hat on a Nose. - I don't see a character trait or character skill named Blue Sky. Can you post a screenshot? (To be clear, I'm not creating *new* skills or traits, I'm just bumping the chance a starting character will have a specific trait or skill.)

@LordOmlette Dunno, probably something in reference to Mr. Blue Sky.

@oceansoul - good call
