Balanced Trinkets

Description
Motivation
Many of the trinkets are not worth using due to the negative effects. A few trinkets are far too powerful and unbalanced in comparison, making other trinkets irrelevant. This simple mod aims to re-balance this.

What's different
- Removes the majority of negative effects from trinkets, including the trinkets from the DLC.
- Most positive effects are set to 60% the original (-40%) to balance the removed negative effects.
- Trinkets that originally had no negative effects have not been debuffed (e.g. Blood Charm).
- Some trinkets remain unchanged due to the nature of the charm (e.g. Dark Bracer).
- Ancestor's trinkets (and most trinkets which induce stress) remain unchanged.
- Most trinkets dealing with light levels remain unchanged.

Future development
- Need to finish setting some buffs to 60% for the Crimson Court trinkets (easy to do, just takes time).
- Further tweak individual trinkets for better balance.
- Open to suggestions for specific changes to trinkets in the comments.

Compatibility
This mod is not compatible with mods which modify the following files:
- The base trinket files (trinkets/base.entries.trinkets.json)
- The DLC trinket files (dlc/.../trinkets/{name}.entries.trinkets.json)
- The base buff files were NOT edited, so this mod won't conflict with other mods that edit those files.

The heads are usually the best in slot items once found and sort of devalue the other trinkets that give a similar boost. They should retain a negative impact on sttress. Thematic for what they are.

this mod is simple - remove negative effects and slightly decrease positive effects

@IamGood From the description above:

- Removes the majority of negative effects from trinkets, including the trinkets from the DLC.
- Most positive effects are set to 60% the original (-40%) to balance the removed negative effects.
- Trinkets that originally had no negative effects have not been debuffed (e.g. Blood Charm).
- Some trinkets remain unchanged due to the nature of the charm (e.g. Dark Bracer).
- Ancestor's trinkets (and most trinkets which induce stress) remain unchanged.
- Most trinkets dealing with light levels remain unchanged.

If there's something specific you'd like to know, I can give you more details.

@jakiro_

I just mod games as I'm playing them, so they're all far from perfect. Figured other people might be thinking along the same lines though. Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the comment.

Best balanced trinkets mod out there. Definitely makes trinkets less awkward to use.
